Chalkboards

As I read my daily blogs, I can't help but notice the craze for CHALKBOARDS in a home, can you? And, I'm not sure about you, but I'm DYING to put one in our house.  Nina,  from Stylizimo, has a DIY Chalkboard in her kitchen, and Kate over at Centsational Girl uses Chalkboard Paint constantly!  And I'm STILL in love with them!  My hubby thinks chalk is too messy, but did you know there's CHALKBOARD PENS!?!? (I learned of this over at Centsational Girl... haven't had a chance to check them out, google them, or even find out where I can buy them -- and I don't go to Michael's regularly)

What do you think of chalkboards? I'd love to put a long, thin one in our kitchen between the fridge and the pantry door...

Kate at Centsational Girl even covered her kids' little table with chalkboard paint...Brilliant!!!

Do you have a chalkboard in your home? Or would you put one? Make one? Buy one?  I think it's a great way to keep track of groceries needed, or where someone should be, or pass along a phone message...or just a great place to write "I Love You".....

    I love this idea too - but whenever I think of chalk I think of dust and allergies. I had never heard of chalk board pens! This is great news!

    Have you seen this idea from 'Shopping Candy for My First Home'? She decorated her mantle for spring using a rustic chalk board.

    I love them - when our baby gets older (well, he's still quite a few weeks shy from entering the world still!) my hubby and I want to paint one of his walls in chalkboard paint! I've also thought about using it in the kitchen somewhere or on the small wall by our front door...

    No, seriously wonderful idea! Where on earth do you buy chalkboard pens? I want! Love the chalkboard in a fancy frame - very cool idea.

    I dont have one, but I'm pretty sure my dream kitchen has one. An entire wall even!

    Use decorative molding or a colorful painted border to give your chalkboard area an extra personal touch.
