I missed a post a few weeks back and i'm trying to catch up with all of my work today so that's why i blogging at a kind of random time. So about this, i've always wanted to make a chalkboard and put it in my room to use it as a to do list or something. I like the idea of making my own though because then you can make it whatever colour you like or whatever shape you like. So what you need to make the chalkboard paint is one part unsanded grout and eight parts latex paint, which i think sounds really simple to make considering there's only 2 ingredients. Even instead of framing a square piece of wood you could paint one wall in your room and just write right on the wall. That actually sounds like a really cool idea because with this you can still have a colourful room and write on it. I got how to make the paint off pintrest so the link is below.
I love this idea! Having an entire wall as a chalkboard would be so cool. I wonder how it would turn out... I'd be scared that it would peel, or get really chalky or something. I definitely want to try this though! I'd probably get a huge frame and put it on the back of my door or something, and maybe make a mini one for my desk. Thanks for sharing it, I love your blog! DIY posts and browsing pinterest are my guilty pleasures.
This is a really awesome idea!! I've been wanting to figure out how to do something like this and you have given me a great idea! :) Great blog!!
