Nailed it…

Love the simplicity of this – and it’s something most of us, (who know one end of a hammer from another) could manage, maybe not quite as beautifully as [lhook] do though) – hmmm may have to give this a go.  (via NotCot)

I see a table and I want to paint it black…

by aileen on November 3, 2011

It’s not a secret but it may be news to you – I live in a white house – not all white, of course – some of the floors are wood, and we have an orange chair, Ok so it’s mostly white. A few years ago we were looking for our ideal dining room table (large, white) and just couldn’t find what we wanted. We ended up using 3 cheap Ikea tables (just for now) and found we loved the flexibility they gave us. We could move around the arrangement and seat 2 – 14 people easily. As we have used them they have gotten a little scratched and worse for wear (they were very inexpensive) so a couple of weeks ago we painted them – with blackboard paint. They look great, have already provided endless hours of fun, and seem to be wearing well. I can’t wait till Christmas!

UPDATE: Here is a link to an article on 25 ways to use chalkboard paint – should kickstart some ideas
