Chalkboard Paint

I have a serious obsession with chalkboard paint.  I love being able to write little messages and doodle on my furniture and chalkboard paint affords me that luxury! Thankfully, Brian likes it too!  Chalkboard paint is so cool and really easy to use.  I have done two vases, four terracotta pots and a table so far and they have all turned out awesome on all surfaces, glass, terracotta and wood.  You just do a few thin coats (at least 3) and then once is it dry you rub a piece of chalk over the entire surface, erase it and you are good to go!  The paint even looks cool when it isn't being drawn on or utilized.  It is a flat, matte black paint that matches with everything.  I want to use it for everything now!  The cost is about $7 a can and it covers a lot of area.

If you are looking for a cool way to spruce up an item I would definitely recommend the Chalkboard paint.  You can get it in spray paint or a can.  I think it looks great and it is really fun.  You can change the piece you've painted daily with new drawings or words, you can send notes and you can have fun with your furniture!
