I got some chalk board paint and I’m not gonna lie…I’ m hooked!
This was an easy-peasy project Peeps. I have a dry-erase board in my fun-room that I use for scribbling down lists and upcoming blogs and upcoming recipes, stuff like that. But I needed some sort of board downstairs. This not so used space on the side of my fridge was just the place…all I needed was a little chalkboard paint (from Lowe’s) and a brush!
Told ya! EASY!!!! And I love it! I put up weekend menus or day to day “to-do” lists…It’s better than a thousand post-it notes and I’ve heard those are becoming extinct! (Say it isn’t so!)
I also covered a little box with scrapbook paper and put a really big magnet on the back to hold my chalk! There was a nifty magnetic eraser at Target that is also up here somewhere!
I found this brilliant idea on this great blog: Just a Girl! Go see her Peeps, she’s full of amazing ideas…

June 21, 2009 at 10:34 pmWhat a great idea! My fridge is stainless so magnets do not work at all! I could make something like this and hang it on the wall next to the fridge and use it for all the cool kids and grandkids stuff!!
Blessings!

June 21, 2009 at 11:13 pmThat looks great! I loved having space for my multiple white boards and white board calendars in my room at school, and I’d love to have something like this at home, too.

June 22, 2009 at 10:19 amRobin I never tire of your ideas and projects! I have laminate cabinets in my kitchen and have wondered so often how to utilize that clean and empty space! But I wonder if the paint would adhere to laminate? I’ll have to investigate 🙂 Thanks for planting these seeds in my head!!

Brenda Kula says
June 22, 2009 at 11:54 amWhat a wonderful idea! I haven’t bought black board paint yet. But I see I really need to make the jump and do so! I love this. Especially the covering over the chalk box. Really makes the whole thing unique! I need a spot to remind myself of things, so this is on my list! Thanks!

June 26, 2009 at 5:46 amI LOVE this, and looks so much more retro and stylish than a modern white board. I can see this would be great for my kids to write down things they need to remember to ask me to buy etc too.
Thanks for sharing and have a lovely weekend.
