Here's a nifty little weekend project. I have a wall in my kitchen/living room that needed something. I could have hung something lovely there, but the front door opens into it, and I was worried it would soon be knocked off. And, it's a small room, so I'm trying to keep it fairly restrained. Perfect solution: a painted blackboard wall. I used
Rust-Oleum's version in black, but I found many different colors and brands online. It's cheap, I can doodle on it or write little notes to myself, and my roommate can draw a choice part of the female anatomy located between the arms (which he said he will most likely always do after he's had a few drinks). Fair enough. So, three days and $20 later, here we are. Note: It takes four hours between the two coats then three days to fully cure, so a little patience is needed for this project.

| All you need (+ chalk). |

| GREAT use for left over Christmas wrapping paper. |

| My victim. |
 |
| Measure it out, and tape it off. |
 |
| Two coats and three days later.... |
 |
| I used three little nails as a chalk ledge. |
FYI: My wall is painted Benjamin Moore Jalapeno Pepper, which is unlike any jalapeno I've ever seen, but I love the fresh green just the same.
