Get Naughty With Chalkboard Paint
I was sitting around minding my own business last week when Apartment Therapy posted on Chalkboard Paint. I felt the creative crush all the way in my toes. I LOVE chalkboard paint.
Want to know why? It’s naughty!
Chalkboard Paint? Naughty?
You’re probably thinking I’ve been sniffing some pretty good paint. But no, really, it’s naughty.
You aren’t supposed to write on walls. It’s a rule. It’s a “duh” thing. You don’t write on walls…
I know this all too well! You see when I was young I got “grounded” (my only time to get grounded in my WHOLE life) because of writing on a wall. (Notice I didn’t say *I* WROTE on the wall. I didn’t do it! But, I know who did…)
So I guess the idea of chalkboard paint plays into my naughty innocent experience of “wall writing” and gives me a free pass to go to the forbidden land.
Here are some fun ways to use chalkboard paint, on walls and off, to spark creativity (and maybe a little rebellion) in your life.
On the walls, I love this “framed” spice rack and those pink closet doors are a delight!
What about “off the walls” with chalkboard paint? Home accessories love a little chalkboard paint love too!
Chalkboard painted bottles!?!? What a great idea. I have a few old bottles around because they have great shapes and I just hate to throw them away. They will be seeing a new “color” soon.
Furniture? Why not!
The refrigerator in the Apartment Therapy post that started it all is the most delish way to store food I’ve ever seen.
In my home, yes, I have chalkboard paint. I put a little creativity in my kitchen and used it as a “canvas” for inspiring words and thoughts.
One of my favorite motivations and my vision I created at a retreat color the walls and cabinets in my kitchen.
There’s MORE: Now you can decorate with chalkboard paint and do it with color! Check out Hudson Paint and their colorful palette of chalkboard paints!
One last MUST: get these great chalk markers to make your art experience even BETTER!
So go on, color your wall (or anything else)…and then WRITE, DRAW, or DOODLE on it with no worries and lots of rebellion!
{Would you believe that when I got grounded for the “writing incident” I had all my “colors” taken away. That could explain some things…..}

Holy cow! I will need to be painting some of the walls in the bakery with these!! I want to have kids classes and birthday parties. How fun would it be to let them write all over the walls while they are there? LOVE! Thanks for sharing twinsie! 🙂
