We've seen chalkboard used in homes…for kid's rooms, offices, kitchens…everything. It's one of those techniques that is popular for a reason—it's so versatile and totally useful, too. I'm constantly finding inspiration from retail stores and love these uses of chalkboard paint in stores that make for great inspiration at home, too…

i really want a chalkboard wall in our kitchen, i think my son would go bananas for it. although i feel bad, last time we went out to a restaurant with a chalkboard sign, i found my atticus wiping it down. ekkkk!

I also love the chalkboard aesthetic! In fact, it was the theme of my bridal shower. It’s so easy to add whimsical little touches with chalk signs.

Nice photos…makes me want to visit 🙂
agreed!
i adore chalkboard paint. my sister painted one whole wall for her toddler son’s bedroom and that is how he learned to write his letters! I would love to paint one wall in my apartment but it doesn’t allow for painting (boo!) I’ve been thinking i might just do it anyway and paint it back before i move out.
i see that last one is an actual chalkboard, and not paint against the brick wall. Which do you think is better? I guess there is a time and place for everything depending on your space! Do you think you’ll paint a wall in your studio or home in as a chalkboard?
beautiful photos, by the way. great inspiration here, as always!

absolutely love the chalkboard wall!
some people’s lettering abilities blow me away 🙂

love chalkboards, and have been known to overuse chalkboard paint. but if i was to ever do a chalkboard wall, i think i would go with an OG green chalkboard wall instead — just to switch things up a bit and add a little color.

“Guild” restaurant downtown (across from Bottega Louie) has fantastic chalkboard art on a large wall and incredible food, FYI. 🙂
I adore chalkboard walls! Love thes images <3
You are right Joy it is so versatile. I have been toying with the idea of painting one in my own home and writing myself reminders. 🙂
I want a home office with a chalkboard wall – thanks for the inspiration!
I just did a chalkboard wall in a restaurant I’m doing in NYC. I’ll have to send you a pic when I’m done. Great to catch up on your blog Joy! Been a while – Jess
Our entire fireplace wall is painted in chalkboard paint and has always been a favorite decor choice in our home. I love when the paint starts to take on a charcoal color from all the erasing 🙂
I absolutely love the chalk board art! I love doing different things in my home on our chalk board. Plus it is a fun little project to work on 🙂
We chalkboard painted our office where we display fireplaces and now we need someone with a good hand writing to fill it with lovely inspiring words : )Have been looking for inspiration but I really don’t think ı can write that good 🙂

We just made chalkboard paint for our house. We painted the back of our door and coffee table. I love it because we can write reminders and little notes. The coffee table is a huge hit with the kids that visit.
