Chalkboard Door

Having something in the kitchen for starting shopping lists and notes can be very useful. With the new kitchen we didn’t want to find wall space to hang up a white board so instead we turned the pantry door into a chalkboard.  The process was pretty simple. We bought a primed door and a quart of Rustolium’s chalkboard paint. The directions say that a roller will give the best finish, but with my small areas I opted for a soft synthetic brush.

I painted the white outside of the door and the center with the chalkboard paint. I found that it took two coats of chalkboard paint to get a nice finish. I then masked off the black and put a blue frame on the chalkboard.

Christopher made sure that the top and bottom panels worked and had a little fun in the process.
