This little side table.

I love the chalkboard spray paint and the big cans of it too for bigger jobs, but these little bottles are perfect for all your mini chalkboarding needs..I did two coats and let them dry about 2-3 minutes between coats.

I always hear people say that you need to put a crazy amount like 8 coats on when you do chalkboards, or that you need to let it sit for 24 hours before you touch it, but I’ve only ever done 2 coats and have always just barely let it dry, even on glass, and my chalkboards always turn out perfectly.So if you want to take the impatient route like I do, I say go ahead!.Next, I “seasoned” them by rubbing some chalk all over them and then wiping it off.. Time to see how they look!

I used some thumb tacks to attach them to the fronts of the baskets.I just pressed them right in and they held on beautifully.

They look pretty neat too.. A few extras for fanciness and I had just the look I wanted.. You might think it sounds crazy to try and use cardboard to make a chalkboard, but it really works just as well as any other surface once you get the paint on there.

That stuff is magic.. Here’s one in action!And clearly this door’s days are numbered.. Might as well have some fun with it before we go ripping it out!Once upon a time I had a fern and I didn’t kill it.

It’s pretty flabbergastingly great really because, you see, I love ferns.They’re so fresh and verdant and classy and stuff.

Up until now, I’ve killed everyone that I’ve owned.Quickly, and efficiently.
