Chalkboard Project

I've been a little obsessed with black and white for a while.  And in my new house I have an all white space with these lovely but very black counter tops.  So I decided to turn the pantry doors into chalkboard doors to tie the granite together. And I wanted to create some permanent bordering for the chalky areas in basic white paint.  So this is stage one.  I've got a start at the top and I plan to take over the bottom areas as well.I had done the whole thing in fun chalk designs but they easily smeared away.  Painting a parmanent design seemed like a way to make sure I'd always have a funkier space.  My new diggs are pretty spiffy (if I do say so myself) and I need a little handmade love to balance out the glam!  Pretty fun.  I'll post an update when my work-in-progress is finished.

HI Anahata,
Would you consider coming to San Juan Island to teach a workshop???

What a fabulous idea! When I moved in here two years ago, I painted a chalk board area behind my kitchen do. I was going to frame it out, but just never got around to it...and it just looks so bland and boring! I think I just might pirate your idea and paint my own design on it - thanks for sharing!!!

Love it! It looks great as is but will be cool to see how it evolves as you add to the bottom areas.
