Decorate with Chalk

I love to decorate with chalkboard paint mostly because of the redesigning versatility. It allows you to change the entire room's appearance rather quickly just by writing, posting, or drawing something new. Choose a theme such as an inspirational quote, a shopping list, or just some simple drawings then when you've completed your task or just change your mind, erase it and start again.

Chalkboard paint adds a creative playful element to any room design. Paint a square on a wall and surround it with an elegant frame for a fresh new take on a traditional look or paint an entire wall for a modern casual approach. My favorite color to use is black, it goes great with almost all color palettes but should you find yourself wanting to use another color, you're in luck because chalkboard paint comes in a multitude of colors. So get creative and paint away... 

Here are some interesting ways to use chalkboard paint in your home. Hope it sparks some creativity for your next project.
