Decorating: Fun Chalkboards

I now have three (yes, 3!) chalkboards in my apartment! Chalkboards can be used in pretty much any room. Perfect in the kitchen for displaying the weekly menu, to do list or grocery list.





In the entryway or bedroom write inspirational quotes and holiday greetings on your chalkboard.


I especially love chalkboards in playrooms and kids' bedrooms.




Below are my three chalkboards
Elephant from Restoration Hardware Baby and Child (no longer available):


Cupcake above my desk (with my to do list) from here (my sister has this on her fridge-I just had to have it in my apartment too). I need to get a new wall calendar to hang on the hook next to the cupcake


Another elephant (from Tuesday Morning). I haven't used this one as a chalkboard yet, just decoration right now:


Get the look for your house! Here are some other ones that I've seen:

I love the lobster one! My parents have a pig holding a chalkboard in their kitchen & my dad always writes funny quotes on it. I love all these examples.

I've been meaning to get my hands on some chalkboard paint to turn a defunct frame into something more useful.

The pink and green elephant is too cute!
