I think it looks super fun – especially in the playrooms. But the one in the bedroom (chalkboard as headboard) makes me sneeze just thinking of it. I wonder how they work around all the bits of chalk-dust that get everywhere? At least in a classroom there is usually a ledge to catch said dust.
BTW I LOVE littlegreennotebook. Thanks for a GREAT read.
MMW – Glad you’re enjoying my blog. I love writing it! I hear you on the headboard/chalk dust thing. Yuck. I don’t think I’d be using it like a traditional chalkboard though – maybe changing the image only every so often?
Terese – You can buy chalkboard paint at Home Depot and Lowes. I think you can have it mixed in any color you want these days, but if they don’t do that I know that Apartment Therapy posted a recipe for making your own paint using any color you have.
Although, I must say, I love the starkness of all the black in these photos. Black paint is so dramatic. In fact, I feel a ‘black walls’ post coming on… :)
Hey Jennica and all, while I miss home depot where I live, I found chalkboard paint at a store near me and it was in traditional chalkboard green, black or navy blue. We did a playroom wall navy blue and the kids really like it. A friend of mine said she did it with a layer of magnetic paint underneath which I thought was a great idea. Also, my mom said Rust-Oleum sells the tint-able chalkboard paint at home depot. Here’s a link http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=168
I love little green notebook too and seeing that tree made me realize I need to send you pics of ours (it looks so similar).I’ll do that soon.
Love this blog! For those of you who've used the chalkboard paint – how well does it erase/rewrite? Does the chalk erase completely off, like a nice chalkboard? I'm thinking of doing the outside of my pantry door… comments? Thanks! Wendy

Such cool ideas. I knew someone who used it on a kiddie table top. Where do you get chalkboard paint?
