Have you used chalkboard paint yet? Last week I used chalkboard paint for the first time. I used Martha Stewart Chalkboard paint in blue-- but it also comes in black. (You can buy it at Michael's and I think KMart too.) If you are feeling extra crafty-- you can make your own! Below are several DIY tutorials on how to make chalkboard paint, followed by a host of ideas for what to do with it!
Isn't that chalkboard behind the gorgeous tufted headboard just amazing?!
