Chalkboard favorites

I am so inspired by all the great chalkboards you shared! I thought it would be fun to feature some of my favorites, so here we go....



If you combine flowering branches with chalkboards then you have my attention. Janet from the The Gardener's Cottage has a gorgeous home that I never get tired of looking at.



Michelle from Vintage Junky turned an old painting into a huge chalkboard.


Her talented husband does some amazing chalk drawings. Check out the owl themed Birthday party they had for their little guy here....it is really cute!

                                                           
 Polly put together an adorable room for her son.


Kendra at House of Ficek created a cute play kitchen for her son complete with a chalkboard.


Tammy from Tinsel & Company used twine and clothespins to displays her little one's artwork.


I'm loving this gold vintage frame from A Vintage Vine


Lisa from Shine Your Light had a very smart idea to use a shelf to catch the chalk dust and hold pieces of chalk.


How cool is this old mantel? Caroline has six of them in her home!


Kristen from Just Live Simply drew a gorgeous chandelier on her chalkboard that she made for just seven dollars!


Cassie from Primitive & Proper gave this armoire from Craigslist a fabulous makeover. This piece would be perfect for a mudroom don't you think? 

Ok, I am now realizing that I can go on and on because I love them all! Here is just one more...


I love this idea....Julie from Less Than Perfect Life Of Bliss made these beautiful magnets out of old brooches for her magnetic chalkboard.

Thanks again to everyone who played along! Talk to you soon.

    Londen, since you had your chalkboard party and I checked out everyone else's great ideas, I think I've added 3 more to my house (as if we needed more!) I'm obsessed with chalk! Thanks for the shout out! Loving that chandelier!

    Londen....you have created a monster! My little sister isn't really into all the decorating stuff. But since your chalkboard party...she's gone nuts! LOL...she has my Dad making her chalkboards and she has even bought chalkboard contact paper (i didn't know there was such a thing). Thanks...you definetely sparked her interest!
    Oh p.s...i keep forgetting to tell you...the sand on the treasure chest was made with the spray foam from the hardware store called...Great Stuff. It also makes cute cupcakes..just spray it into cupcake liners..than paint it when it dries.

    Londen, I'm glad you made it home safely. My little chalk board seems so boring compared to all of these great ones from your party. Great inspiration for sure!

    Love all of the chalkboard inspiration! The ledge is such a great idea for chalk dust...the only downfall.
