During the course of the remodel of the bathroom a wall in the kitchen had to be opened up to access a pipe. Since we never touched the kitchen at all while living here we did not have the paint to paint the wall. My dad suggested that I get some of that chalkboard paint and paint the wall that way. I had been waiting for a day when Allison and the kids were out of the house because that is the best time for me to get projects completed.

Today some of the girls from Andy’s old school invited him over for a going away party. They were all very sad to hear that he was leaving for another school and wanted to do something so that he knew that people did care about him. It was a very nice gesture and he had a fantastic time there.

While they were gone I got to work and painted the all using chalkboard paint. I put two coats on it and I think it came out pretty good. There are certainly parts I have to touch up but will, or will not, eventually. I picked up a few things at the Dollar Tree on the Cape and ordered some chalkboard markers for the space as well. I am also using this as a space where I can hang my car keys. One less thing on the kitchen island.
