I have moved into a New England boy scout's dream home. My home decor consists of Mallard lamps, animal decoys, and a table in the shape of a dog holding a platter in his mouth. As much as I have grown fond of Matt's "Sir Houndstooth" table, I find myself constantly thinking of ways to inject bits of my kookier taste in what is now our little abode...My new discovery? Using chalkboard paint on walls! Fear not my friends,when used well, black isn't goth or creepy, it's a great alternative to give your walls personality. I used the Rust Oleum Chalkboard Paint they sell at Home Depot which retalis for US $24.97. All you have to do is paint over your blah walls and voila!!
Have fun and go with it!
