Traditional Chalkboard
You can make a traditional chalkboard to decorate your home.
This can be used for the kids to draw, for you to write your grocery list, for keeping a calendar or a to do list.
Chalkboards are popular in home offices, kitchens, play rooms, laundry rooms, and mud rooms.
Chalkboard Door
A chalkboard door has become very popular for the inside of a kitchen pantry door or the inside of a kitchen cabinet door for writing a grocery list or weekly dinner schedule.
Entire Wall
For a more dramatic chalkboard, consider painting an entire wall in chalkboard paint.
This would be a fun addition to a home office, entryway, dining room, or play room.
You can write daily messages to your family, a personalized welcome message for visitors, a to do list, or an inspirational quote.
Table Top
Table tops painted in chalkboard paint are very popular decorations in play rooms.
Kids can draw all they want and the only mess left is chalk dust.

You can put the tray in the dining room to label items on the tray or welcome guests to your home.

During a party, guests can use chalk to put their name on the glass.
