Some Chalkboard Lo-Down…

Do you use a chalkboard as part of your decor?

I do..

I bought mine at Hobby Lobby last Christmas.

It was plain Jane so I decided to dress it up a little with some wood appliqués.

And then I chose a bible scripture that I love and wrote it with  little “fancy” letters on my board.

It hangs here… in the kitchen next to my faux stone wall.

So… are you wondering how I got such a smudge free look?

I’ll tell ya…

Don’t use chalk.

Use liquid chalk markers… like these!

I love them!

They are kinda like paint markers that you shake and let the paint soak the tip.

Alot of businesses use the chalk markers to get a more professional sign look to their boards.

They come in all different colors.

We have a chalkboard on the fridge for messages and memos…

and

I think it’s fun to draw cute little pictures with them… especially if I’m leaving a message for the hubby!

I bought mine at Hobby Lobby or you can find them on line.

And like I said… they come in all different colors.

I’d like to score some of the earth tone ones… :)

They are easy to clean off/erase with a damp cloth (or you can by specific liquid chalk cleaner) and they don’t leave all that chalk dust floating around.

Great stuff!

 What about you…

Do you use the liquid markers or chalk on your chalkboard?
