chalkboard door of my very own

I forgot to show you this!  After my mini-obsession with chalkboard paint, I finally used it at our house on the closet door in my studio.

 

I doubt I will ever actually draw or write on the door with chalk.  I just love the matte blackness of it! I am planning on painting the front of our pantry door in our kitchen too.

A couple of notes:  The doors throughout our house are cheap hollow-core, natural (ugly) finish doors.  These are the first two that I have painted.  I used (2) coats of Benjamin Moore primer and so far have applied (1) one finish coat of chalkboard paint (the brush-on kind) and Benjamin Moore Super White (my favorite white paint) semi-gloss on each door respectively.  They both need (1) one additional finish coat.  Really easy and fun.

Awesome! I also love chalkboard paint, but I never thought of doing a door.

I really like what you've done with the door - and your idea to paint the kitchen cabinet door. I'd love to do that, but our landlord wouldn't. ;) xx

I think that chalk board paint is kool for kids, I have used it myself and it worked!

That chalkboard door is going to be a lot of fun for the kids. You can also use it as some sort of a reminder board in lieu of the typical whiteboard or cork board setup. Don't you agree?

Definitely, Candie! There are some great examples of that around the internet.
