Well, if you know me at all you know that I love chalkboard paint.  What’s not to love.  It’s cheap, makes a big statement, and you can decorate it differently year round.  I bet your wondering, where in the world is she going to put it now?? or maybe not, but I’m going to show you anyway:)

I’ve always loved this picture I found on Google…

and of course that was my inspiration for the barrel shades…but it was also my inspiration for my next chalkboard project!

Remember this wall in my house???

It’s no longer white.

Surprise!

I know some of you may be thinking, she’s getting a little chalkboard happy….well, I am. But…I have hopes to actually do my subway tile backsplash one of these days soon and then the chalkboard paint will be back to the “normal” category instead of the “excessive” category.

So here’s how she looks now..

Bam.

Yep, she’s a dramatic one.

and I love her.

I love how much fun I can have for it, how I can change it with the seasons, and how it seems to pull the whole house together…

Oh. And that it was FREE! I LOVE that it was free:)

p.s. I may or may not have painted behind the hutch….shhh

If your’e wondering where the full room shot is, you’re not going to get it. I have a few other “projects” going on in here that I’m not ready to reveal today…so I’ll keep you guessing for a couple more days!:)

But, lets just take a look again so you can vote for yourselves which one you like better…

before..

after..

I am well aware some may like the first one better. It’s a lot more clean line/sophisticated. Two things that I am not, so I’d have to go with the fun daring one myself:)

To each their own right??
