apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

It's from Ikea.

IKEA! It looks like it's been painted white. I have it, and it originally came in a stained wood finish

More specifically, it's the LUNS writing/magnetic board. Comes in "antique stain" and white.

Yep, I have that too - from IKEA! :) I painted mine a bright green and I get so many compliments on it!

I wanna know where they got the block print calendar on the other wall

This site has become Chalkboard Therapy.

i have one in my apartment. i'll sell it to you for $20 if you want to come pick it up...email me at lexier34@gmail.com. thanks!

Add chalkboards in the kitchen to the list of "Stuff White People Like".

I agree that chalkboard mania has become a running joke here on AT (along with defiantly bad grammar/spelling), but this item is exactly what my poor ADD-addled brain needs.

Luke, I got that very same calendar for my niece for Christmas! (I know that's not what this post is about, but it was exciting there for a minute.)

To me, chalkboards mean dust and dust food = yuck. Plus, I just don't have that many things I feel the need to write on my walls!

Only in theory is a chalk board a good idea.
A pad and a pencil is more useful and you get to carry your lists with you.

IKEA!! I have it too and I love it!! In my kitchen... (:

Yes Ikea it is.
Regardless of what some people may sat (dewi!), a chalkboard is incredibly useful!
I use it as a calender, menu, day planner and revolving art display. It is great for the kids to practise their mathematics on too!
Lists etc written on paper are such a waste!!
Even more eco-friendly is if you can find a recycled chalkboard to use.
Happy chalking!

I won't keep one around just because it raises the chances of me having to endure the "fingernails on a chalkbard" sound.

I agree... something about a chalkboard is quite friendly. I like something that serves such a purpose to jot down items I need to pick up (AS I think of them - they're gone as quick as they come), phone numbers, notes to my wife, etc (they're also magnetic). This one is has nice sunken galvanized metal trays for chalk, keys, and change-like items; a generous space for mail, coupons, a/or paperwork (we keep our recyclable shopping bags folded up in there so we don't forget 'em!); and hooks for bags, key rings or hats. Additionally, it's entirely affordable at $14.99 - I looked at dozens of alternatives, none of which were under $40.

I just bought this today! I don't have room for it in my kitchen (and I'm not crazy about chalkboards in kitchen, either... though I do have a tiny dry-erase board on my fridge that I couldn't live without), but I am going to put it in my little office space. I like the fact that it's magnetic. And at $15, I could not resist. Plus, you can hang your keys (or anything else that's hangable) and store mail (or anything else that is small and... storable).
