I’ve been wanting to take our one random door (our 90+ year old home is full of 5 panel doors except one) and paint the two panels with chalkboard paint and use the raised portion in the middle to hang a metal basket to hold chalk. I figured I could write lists or draw on the top and the kids could claim the bottom. Now to find time and energy! I’m a full time teacher and 3 weeks away from my due date! 🙂
I love chalkboards too! I have an old wooden tray on my buffet that is now a chalkboard menu. I’ve also done “chalkboard-footed wineglasses” as a gift. But, my favorite is my chalkboard PANTRY DOORS…love them!

What IS IT about chalkboard? Memories from grade school? Or the ability to change as the mood strikes?
We have gutted the house and are remodeling one room at a time. The wall in the dining room that has the opening to the kitchen will be ALL blackboard.
This could be called Message on a Bottle! 😉
