If you ask me, chalkboard paint is in one of the coolest products ever! The uses are nearly unlimited! Check out these photos for some inspiration!

I love garages! So I’m starting with that! It may not be the prettiest place in the house, but lots of pretty stuff can get made in the garage!

I think these chalkboard paint cabinets are kind of cool! Look at how they let you easily indicate what’s in a drawer! I could use this to help me clean-up! It might help! Maybe…

Martha Knows Best

Martha Stewart is so creative! I want to be like Martha. Sort of. In some ways.

Look what she did with these pots! I know it’s not technically remodeling, but I like to use term in the broad sense!

And that’s not all! She also was the first person I ever saw use custom color chalkboard paint! I’ve seen it since, but she broke the story!

How About A Chalk-Door?

I fell in love with what Melaine, over at My Sweet Savannah did in her kitchen the first time I saw it! Look:

And she’s not done with the chalkboard paint yet! She’s got some plans for this weekend that I’m sure she’ll be showing-off soon!

Melaine was so inspired by the Beam Me Up post over at RG:Lite that she’s got me designing some beams for her kitchen ceiling! Hopefully, we’ll get to that next week too!
