While I don’t have small children who would appreciate having a chalkboard table, etc., I know what I am going to do with this. Paint the insides of several of my cupboard doors. For jotting items for my shopping list, for listing the menus for today’s meals, for phone messages…

why didn’t I think to paint a kids table in chalkboard paint? I’ve painted a wall, but not a table!!! Love it. I’m linking at somedaycrafts.blogspot.com (I got a lot of hits from your rain gutter bookshelves!)

I am getting ready to re-do a room for 3 of my kids, and I like the ability to custom-color the chalkboard paint. I’m going to do the closet door in brown to match the room colors. I also plan to do a table top for the kids to use out in the garage.

Your chalkboard is beautiful. I finally painted the wall in our dining room with the custom color paint. I hope to post about that soon. If there is no writing on it you can not even tell it is a chalk board.

Blessings,
Kimberly

I know you posted this back in March, but I just found you and came to this particular post. I wanted to show you my chalkboard on my wall. I LOVE it! We use it all the time. Here it is in it’s latest state. http://haffnewie.wordpress.com/2009/06/04/activity-board/
I really like your blog and will be back!

I posted something about a year ago on how to get the best results from your chalk – which goes nicely with your post. Chalkboard chalk tip I wish I would have known about making my chalkboard a different color when I was painting my whole wall – but maybe next time.

I love chalkbaords and chalk.

I painted a (small) wall once with store bought chalkboard paint. It turned out OK, but it wasn’t very smooth. The kids loved it. I put it in my scrap book room so my kids could be with me and guests would not see it. Yes, lots of chalk dust, but you vac anyway, so I didn’t stress.

I am going to try your tutorial in our new house. Thanks for the tip.

I have often thought of using chalkboard paint, but never thought of putting it on a table. Cute idea!

Very resourceful! The closest I’ve come to something that creative was painting a checkerboard on an old endtable then clear coating it.

Thanks Bobbie Lynn.

How is the dust and cleaning the wall? I’m thinking in my dining room, so it would be visible whenever we have guests.

Kimberly,
I have had chalk boards in my house for a long time. Everyone always recommends dry erase boards, but with young children it was not an option for me and my nice walls!! My youngest has Down syndrome and doesn’t quite understand the difference in a crayon, marker, pen, or chalk on wall surfaces, so having a chalk board and chalk readily available has always been a great mix! Great job!
