Just a small container of chalkboard paint, an inexpensive canvas from the craft store and a few coats of paint on a Sunday afternoon, and.... (drum roll, please!)
A kitchen chalkboard!
First of all, it's functional. The raised canvas makes it easy to cover the ugly extra cable/phone outlet and the FIFTH kitchen electrical outlet! (Note: did the developer think I was going to have a Crock Pot convention in there???) Best of all, it's fun. I've got a cool space to leave messages for guests, cheer myself up with goofy quotes, and switch things up from time to time. I can only imagine what my guests will write when left alone with a little bubbly and chalk! Maybe it's almost time for a party to find out!
I had considered painting the actual wall or buying a chalkboard vinyl thingy to adhere to the wall, but this was by far the easiest option - and totally non-committal. Perfect, right? (No comments from the funny farm, please.)
If you needed a reminder, this little kitchen nook looked like this before.
