Chalkboard Link Party

Hello and welcome to the chalkboard party! I thought I would start it off by sharing the various chalkboards we have around our house.




First we have the chalkboard sign I made out of a scrap piece of barn wood. I sanded the edges to keep it looking old and weathered. It hangs above our photo wall in the dining room.


Next is the garage sale frame freshened up with some pink paint for the playhouse.


The faux mantel got some chalkboard paint too...I think this is my favorite. You can see a before picture here.


Oh so easy labels.


Then I got really brave and painted a whole wall in the kitchen. Now I would love to see how you use chalkboard paint in your house. If you're chalkboard crazy like me and you have more than one idea to share go right ahead! And I don't mind if you use an old post.  Mr. 65th made us a party button, you can use it to link back if you want. Have fun!

    Thank you for hosting! I couldn't get the button to attach to my post correctly, so I used a regular old link-back. Hope that's okay. :) I love your chalkboard faux fireplace. So cool!!
