Tuesday Trend Alert

I am going to dedicate my posts on Tuesdays to talk about current trends and how you might be able to use them in your own house. 


Today's Trend: CHALKBOARD PAINT


All over decor and design blogs and boards, I am seeing chalkboard paint. It definitely can add some charm and drama to any room. 


Here are some unique uses for Chalkboard Paint:

One of our Customized Wall murals that I think would look just DARLING with chalkboard paint is this one:

I would specify that I only want the drapes printed. I would trim the print tight with some sharp scissors and apply on a wall painted with black chalkboard paint. I can just see all the family's favorite movie quotes here, can't you?


Well, talk to you all later...."After all, tomorrow is another day"
