Apartment rehab

I've been following the chalkboard wall/chalkboard cabinet/chalkboard anything trend for awhile and decided just to go for it. I had some pictures hanging up on one of the walls in my kitchen that just weren't working for me. so I decided that is where the chalkboard would go. I thought about doing all different shapes or like a frame boarder but ended up just doing a giant square. I did measure this time and draw lines and such and then I used the Frog tape... which mostly lived up to its claim of clean lines.

Drying
Then I bought a set of sidewalk chalk, 20 different colors! And went to work. I wasn't sure what to draw so I did a bit of everything for my first time out.

  5. Cute--I guess I should have used frog tape, my paint lines didn't come out quite so clean.
