...try it tuesday...blackboards...

... i keep seeing these gorgeous 'walls of blackboard'......in the magazines that sneak into my mailbox...

...& we all loooove a good blackboard...
...i often get onto the playroom blackboard with audrey...
...well actually audrey eventually wanders off to play elsewhere & i am on the playroom blackboard alone...

...as the house we actually own is on the other side of the world & this big old rambler is a rental to see us through ritchie's job, that we are here to do...i feel i can't exactly paint a wall in blackboard paint...

...{i'd just like to say at this point, that i wouldn't hesitate if back in sydney, to paint a wall or two with blackboard paint- the kitchen, the dinning room}...

...but i can make sure that most of the rooms in this lovely big ol'house have a blackboard...

...so...welcome to tuesday...


...this is my kitchen blackboard...
...it started like this...
...a £4 painting from the local church 2nd hand shop...


...with a good dose of this...


...no it's not blackboard paint...
...thats 'cause i didn't have any- that simple!...


...so i taped & painted with what i had...
...left the frame as it was- with a quick little sand...


...& this is what i am left with...
...i love it...


...try it tuesday...
...hope yours was a happy one...

  3. Hi Melissa

    Where do you get good chalk? I can only find dust-free and it just doesn't write at all well.

    cheers

  4. I wonder if the new interactive whiteboards will ever generate as much 'nostalgia' as the old school blackboards!!!!!

    Love the hand lettering, must be in the genes!

  5. They believe that there is never something for nothing and so hesitate in using the Card, fearful
    they will owe something later. Aber beim Darlehenen ist der Vorteil
    faktisch die umgehende Erfllung eines Traums ohne zu guter Letzthrelanges Sparen.
    higkeit, Steuern in den Vereinigten Staaten
    garantiert weniger als Wertpapiere, die von keinen
    besonderen F.
