I think I’m falling in love again with my oldest crush.
And how could I not to be crazy about this little guy, when it’s so much fun and gives me infinite possibilities? Chalkboard paint. That’s what I’m talking about. You weren’t thinking otherwise, now were you?

What better place to write down your lists? Can’t forget a thing. Click on the link for the instructions on how to turn your fridge into a chalboard. Anybody interested?

A perfect way to organize clutter. Everything’s in place. You only need to write down each of the drawers’ tags.

Then again, there’s Mr. Blackboard paint, all classic and elegant. The drawers in this chest stand out beautifully from the red.

The thing about black chalkbard paint is its sophisticated and modern look, yet a vintage twist. Of course it’s always a big plus if you own a bookshelf like this one. That’s a hot wall to me!

Speaking of hot wall treatments, I’m so in love with this room. Now you know what to do when your teenage kid asks you for a black room. And it allows expression. I couldn’t think of a better combo for any youngster. I also love how everything comes together, the black walls, the blue and lime beddings, The Beatles…

This is the other side of the room. It’s so fresh and fun.

When talking about walls, kids generally get away with the coolest, most creative of them all.

Just take a look at the village sillouette in this nursery. I personally think it’s a little too spooky for a baby or any small child, for that matter, but the idea is very cool. My daughter (9), would LOVE it.
