Clever Ways to Use Chalkboard Paint

Chalkboard paint is my new thing. I love it and can’t stop thinking about different ways to use it around the house. I don’t know, but it probably has something to do with my reminiscing of those days of childhood. Great days.

Here are some ideas I have rounded up and will be trying.

Have you ever thought of arranging your drawer but it goes unarranged faster than it is arranged? Try partitioning it with chalkboard paint. At least it’s a good place to start from.

You can also decide to paint the inner door of your drawer and leave some important notes to yourself.

There are a good number of people that have tried this, and there are many that would simply believe that it’s not worth it. I think it’s gorgeous and nice. Try it.
