DIY Kitchen: Chalkboard Paint

Turns out teachers aren’t the only ones who can work a blackboard. Some creative kitchen-owners are bringing this old-school apparatus home, courtesy of a can of chalkboard paint.
Two coats turn a flat surface into an art project that can be wiped down and chalked up at any time. Below, a backsplash becomes a scribbling-ground for recipes, while the kitchen cabinetry above is doodled over with drawings and lists. Another possibility is to mix white chalkboard paint with black to create a multi-shade grid for a calendar.
