Renovating and decorating our new/old house, a cozy cape cod built in 1940. It won't happen overnight, so join me for the journey.
I taped everything off with frog tape....
And started trimming around the edges...
I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous about the outcome....
Stay tuned for part two!

Chalkboard Wall Part One
I decided to go for it and paint a chalkboard wall in the kitchen. I think it will always be in the back of my mind if I don't give it a try.

yay!!! i cannot wait to see! i can't wait to get started on mine, but the ceiling needs to be repainted first... thus the procrastination. ;)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see it! You go girl!
ReplyDeleteLonden,
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see! This is something I have been thinking about too. My walls have a little texture and I am not sure how that will come out. GOOD LUCK!
Best wishes,
Tammy
you go girl!
ReplyDeleteyou'll love it. everyone always asks about the chalk clean-up. honestly, i don't think it's a big deal. have a swifter dust mop & presto it's off the floor. no biggie.
can't wait to see it!
happy november.

I have a good feeling it's going to look awesome!!
ReplyDeleteYay!!! I can't wait to see it. When we built our house, I totally tried to plan a wall in the kitchen where I could paint the whole thing with chalkboard paint. It turns out the wall I had in mind is more like a small strip next to the garage door, but maybe some day I'll have a whole big wall. I cannot wait to see your finished wall!!

Londen,
ReplyDeleteYou are going to love it! Just remember to put at least 3 coats (light, not heavy) and it will hold up beautifully!! The worst part is seasoning the entire wall (wait at least 3/4 days for the paint to cure)...the dust is the worst at this point, but with a quick wipe of the baseboards and a swiffer it is soon gone and then very easy to keep up with. Good Luck!!
Yay you!! I've always wanted to do this. So glad you are going for it...it's only paint after all. Happy weekend.
