Chalkboard craze

Mmmm..

Bit like the sad & tired menu at our house this week...

(perhaps not that bad, but still..)

Have blogged this one before, but am doing it again

as I love the idea of the bench in a kid's room.

 This is a DIY chalkboard - surprisingly easy to make.

 Recipe

Find suitable vintage frame.

Paint it in desired colour.

Measure inside frame.

Have wood cut to size.

Paint with chalkboard paint.

Fit to frame.

Et voila!

 This gorgeous beast is from 'Room', however

you can easily make one by painting any desired

shape or pattern straight onto your wall, using

chalkboard paint. Fun little project..

 Same with this - easy to do if you have time

or the strength. I love the idea and result.

Or you can go full throttle and paint your entire

bedroom (or nursery) with chalkboard paint like

Jenna Lyons did in her fantastic NY terrace home.
