I chose Benjamin Moore Chalkboard Paint in Summer Nights (777). I wanted something blue, but with some aqua in it. They have every color in the rainbow, so it's hard to chose just one!
I applied three coats, waiting at least 4 hours between coats per the instructions. (yes, there is a plant in the sink- I was watering:) Then, you have to wait 3 days for the paint to cure before you add chalk to it.
And then the fun part . . .
James loved drawing on it!
And Mama did too!
I love our white kitchen, but this wall is hidden except when you're looking at it from the mudroom, so it still looks like a white kitchen from most every other view in the house. I like that it's kinda a secret, unexpected fun wall in our home.
I'm planning to add a trim border to the chalk wall over the weekend, so I'll show you next week!
