Chalkboard Wall
For awhile I haven’t been satisfied with our master bedroom/ my office space. I still loved the color green it just seemed like so much. Nick was skeptical but after some pleading and promising the vision in my head would turn out grand, he agreed.
So after ordering supplies and having a friday off while he was at work, I recruited some boys with the promise of mesa frozen yogurt to tape off the wall…
{Lilu and Arthas had to be on the bed, they just couldn’t be left out of the party}
and paint with chalkboard paint!
I loved how it looked even without chalk on it, it gives the room so much more dimension
After letting it dry for a few days, the instructions said to cure the wall by rubbing chalk across the entire surface.
and then it was writable! I immediately began a running to do list and Nick’s friend christened the wall by writing RED RUM, how sweet
Great for a quick, easy and impactful birthday message (yes Nick’s birthday is in September…this post took me awhile to take pictures of/upload said pictures to computer/remember to write/actually write…I know Imma slacker)
I love the random feel of it but next up I really want to do an all over the wall pattern, I think it’d be great, until it got ruined…
for now, I’m just super happy with it, the master bedroom is often the hardest/last room to focus on, that has definitely been true with us. Better late than never and I really enjoy our new chalkboard wall!
Some people were really surprised with it, thinking it more for a kid’s room but I think it is a great choice, and relatively inexpensive. We did splurge and get Benjamin Moore paint, $19 a quart and we used two (I bought 4, kinda over-did it, future projects!!) to do 2 coats, it seemed to cover really well after one, but to be safe…hope you like, and as an added plus we ran the cords from the tv through the wall! looks sooo much better!
coming up next is Christmas!!
