It’s almost been a year since Andrew and I moved into our beautiful home and we have recently been adding some final touches to make it exactly what we want! After spending lots of time on Pinterest and home decor blogs, we decided that we wanted to create a chalkboard wall on one of the kitchen walls to give the room a little character. Andrew researched several ways to design the wall and in the end, found a really cool idea involving a full length mirror, magnetic paint, and chalkboard paint. The whole process was super easy! We had a white full length mirror in our bedroom from Ikea that we decided to use (and later bought a really beautiful rose gold ornate mirror from Homesense to replace ours – win win)! We used painter’s tape to protect the trim and when ready, primed the mirror with 3 coats of magnetic paint. Once the paint was dry, we then layered on two coats of the chalkboard paint. Of course we allowed the recommended amount of drying time in between each coat of magnetic and chalkboard paint. After the paint had completely dried, Andrew hung the mirror – now chalkboard wall on the kitchen wall and we couldn’t be happier with the results! It’s such a cool and easy way to add something unique and creative in your home without spending a ton of money. I have definitely been having so much fun putting my ‘artistic talent’ to use! I’d love to hear about any fun DIY projects you have completed around your homes. Comment below if you’d like to share!
