I bought new chalk board paint for my Bill Pay Board.
We have several of these from my hubby – he’s a science guy. He gets these from the instruments he sells.
I have been wanting a chalk board here in the family room.
I just painted the center and left the frame all rough.
I like it next to my big window. Luke is watching Spongebob for the thirteenth time today.
We are home bodies.
The remotes are in a wire basket on the distressed dresser.
I should write “No More Spongebob” on the board but nobody would even notice.
I wrote “HOME a great place to be…” instead. Nobody will notice that either, but I am glad that my family likes to be here at home. That makes me very happy….even if they watch too much Spongebob.

I love leaving little notes to my family also, and I didn't think they were reading them either until, my 16 year old son erased the sweet note I left for him and replaced it with some smarty pants remark. At least I know he's reading them. :)I enjoy your blog.
Its simply perfect. Love the idea and you have it in the perfect spot.Thanks for sharing at the Cabin:)
Cool, cool, cool…I LOVE it 🙂
The chalkboard looks great, and I'm sure your family does notice what you write.
Love the crate lid!! What a great and interesting thing to use for a chalkboard. Always with the good ideas…

Love the rustic frame around the chalkboard. The fact that your family likes home is a wonderful credit to you Holly!Mary Alice
LOVE it! I want to make one for our home too. Any good tips on where to get old wood, crate lids, etc?
I love how it says \”use other side\” ha! perfect. I remember the Sponge Bob days. Some form of Disney channel or something was on all the time. Then after the cartoons it was all of those \”tween\” shows. EEkkk!
I love it Holly! Love that pretty painted chest too!
We all notice! I love the chalkboard, it looks perfect right there. I'm guessing you always have to say, \”turn it down!!\”, too? 😉 I would really be quite happy if we didn't have a tv at all. Always love your style, I'm behind a bit so off to check on your older posts.~Shanon
We are home bodies too–and why not be when your home is nicely decorated. I love the saying on your chalkboard!
The fact that you left the 'frame' rustic is great. Luv it!Hahahahaaa.. we are home bodies as well. I luv it that even now the lads are grown, we still get in a good amount of family time. Hugs, Gee
Cool, cool, cool! Is it hip to say cool anymore? Is it cool to say Hip? Well, whatever- I really love it- xo Diana
