I hated this wall. Boring.
So I did something fun with it!
a Chalkboard.
I've seen the whole wall covered with the paint, but I'm a teacher...so I had to frame it :)
the paint.
Get enough paint so that you can do 2 coats.
the frame is the cheapest, smallest molding from the local hardware store painted red...under 5 bucks-per side. I used swirls to embellish the corners...
this is the backside of a wall-hanging I wasn't using...I painted black with regular black paint and used chalk to write on it.
After 3 days you have to chalk the entire thing to "condition" it. (I was a little sad because I loved how black it was) This will help it to erase better in the future. After 7 days you can wash it down with water and soap.
I can't get the best picture because it is a partial hallway...
(if you are wondering what the white thing in the middle is...it's my thermostat, unavoidable.)
Be Daring! Find something to turn into a chalkboard...
think of the giant "To Do:" lists you could write...
