apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Great Chalkboard, I want to make one myself!

now that looks great! very practical. I'm sure potterybarn will soon be selling one for $300.

Now this is a great hack!

I made one of these a few years ago. It was great and quite easy. I did prime first which made the chalkboard paint go on simply. Also the paint store recommended using a sponge brush to make the application as smooth as possible. I am planning on doing a new large one. My idea for that is to knock out the glass and then paint the wall where the glass would have been. This will make the window so much lighter and easier to hang. We'll see how it goes.

I have a salvaged window, and this in an excellent idea. thanks.

That is awesome. I know you can buy something similar to this at IKEA for like $20, but it doesn't have nearly the charm that this does.

This is is really charming. Against the modern cabinets and towel rod, it looks great. A simple week-end project that leaves time for relaxing.
