Because I still have some chalkboard paint left, I decided to paint the garage door of our “multipurpose room” with it. It’s white and boring and ugly.
I outline the edges with a thin brush.
No, I’m not trying to be artsy. The reason for the squigly lines is that the paint drips so I have to follow it with my brush.
Like in life, not every thing seems always perfect at first.
But, you just have to go with the flow.
Then come back to it and fix what you can.
You will make mistakes.
And if you give it your best, everything will turn out fine in the end.
Not bad ey? (I picked up the Canadian “ey” while living in Toronto.)
Now instead of looking like a white eyesore, it looks more like an industrial screen.
Love it!
Plus, the kids can do murals here.
Oh, and I can keep scores for Ping Pong!

How fun! I want to do this neat thing I found on a Web site. It’s basically a wall sticker applique that looks like a scrolled mirror. Then I am going to the chalk paint thing. Yay!

That purchase is on hold as I just bought a Dyson vacuum cleaner. My theory is if you are going to spend that much on a household appliance, it should do the work for you!!!

When I saw the CHALKBOARD PAINT on the GARAGE inside or outside garage. I feel it is a GREAT IDEA especially with kids for hours of entertainment. This is so cleaver & practical. Where can you buy CHALKBOARD PAINT? I live in CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.What other items should you need to paint the garage with chalkboard paint inside & outside. Thanks.

I got it at Walmart. You don’t need anything else other than the Chalkboard paint and a brush! Have fun!!
