Chalk it up

I've blogged before about my favorite entryway, but it got even better this past fall. One of my favorite, easy, inexpensive DIY projects of the last few months got a quick mention in this blog, but the single picture I posted (below) doesn't do it justice.

Where there once we three empty squares on the laundry room door, there are now three magnetic chalkboards. Yes, MAGNETIC CHALKBOARDS.

For under $40 at Home Depot, you can get a small pint of magnetic paint and a small pint of chalkboard paint. If you want to simply do one or the other, that's certainly possible, but why not do both to maximize the function? While we chose a basic chalkboard color, you can have the paint tinted any color you'd like (!) making the possibilities simply endless.

Now that basic door is home to notes from school, my daughters' artwork, and even a few creative musings of my own. Love it!
