I admit that I am addicted to chalkboards. Maybe it all started when I was in second grade and the teacher let me stay after and erase the board and bang erasers outside. Hey! That was an Honor!
Or maybe it stems from when I was a teacher. I remember my first day with my first class writing Mrs. Beaux on the chalkboard...
I even have a file on pinterest full of chalkboards.

This was my first chalkboard attempt.
Here is a project that my daughter started and I finished. (She got the flu and I felt bad for her). We magnetized the board first and then painted chalkboard paint over it. It's hanging in her bathroom for easy use.
And here is my latest Chalkboard project. I painted the back of the pantry door last week. Don't look too close at where my dog has scratched the trim paint off trying to open the pantry door.
Hey, she knows where the good stuff is!
I love it!
Mr. Beaux was skeptical at first and Miss Beaux couldn't wait to break out the brushes (she's such a visionary). Click Here to see my recent Kitchen Tour
But, now he's the first to write needed items on the list!

OK, I'm not quite here yet... Although I adore this.... But maybe soon....
