KITCHEN CHALK!

January 18, 2013

chalkboard wall in kitchen

I know they are almost cliche now but I am still loving chalkboard walls. The heart of the home, the kitchen, is a great place for a matte black wall that you can write on. When blank it looks really cool and rich and when all chalked up they are tres functional.

A great accent wall.

Maybe chalkboard walls are not cliche…maybe their a new classic? What do you think?

P.S. Demo has started on my little house in Hollywood Hills. The construction guys are ripping out the outside concrete and flagstone and then they’ll tear out the wood floors on the inside. My neighbor just wrote me saying “Wow, looks like half your house is being dug up!”. Hmmm…note to self, stop by house/construction site later today to make sure house is still standing!

    I can’t wait to see your new home! As for the chalk walls, I love them. Am too chicken to do that in our rental, though.

    My kids are begging us to make a wall off the kitchen into a chalkboard wall ever since they saw it at a friends house. I guess it can be fun but with my ocd husband he will want to control the size of the doodles…haha.

    This is such a great idea …in the kitchen where everyone hangs out and can express themselves! Iris

    I’ve always liked the idea of a chalk board wall and love the look but what about all the chalk dust?

    I love the look but agree it feels a little bit overdone at the moment. That said, I painted my pantry door with chalkboard paint, use it al the time and love it! xx

    I love chalkboard walls still! I don’t have any… yet. I want to make one wall in my son’s room chalkboard but then I also want it in my eat-in kitchen. Then again, I’ve almost got my husband talked into doing it to our fridge. So. Much. Chalkboard.

    Why would you want more dust in the house?

Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment was designed to feel like a little piece of Beirut — a pied-à-terre that keeps her connected to Lebanon while living in France.
Architect Carl Gerges @carlgergesarchitects built the whole interior around warmth and softness: a caramel sofa, a pink kitchen, milky whites throughout. Nothing sharp, nothing cold. The palette reads as indulgent without trying. It’s the kind of space that feels like it was chosen for comfort first and aesthetics second, even though both are clearly considered.
What’s easy to miss is the restraint underneath it all. The softness works because it’s disciplined. Every piece earns its place in the same tonal story.
→ Save this if you’re building a warm, tonal interior from scratch.

New parquet floors, restored panelling, a bespoke staircase, and custom rugs. Every detail shaped by skilled fine craftsmen and a serene, neutral palette drawn from the colours of Paris itself. ✨

Why do Paris apartments feel so much better than e Why do Paris apartments feel so much better than everything else?
While living in this cute 3 bed 2 bath apartment in the 6ème, I realized it comes down to a few things done really well:
• High ceilings
They create space without adding anything
• Herringbone wood floors
Classic, subtle, and never go out of style
• Crown molding + ceiling medallions
The detail that quietly elevates the entire room
• Interior French doors
They give you openness and separation at the same time
• Natural light
The one thing you can’t fake
I’m staying in this adorable pied-a-terre for a two months. It is my sister and brother in law’s place; they invited me to cozy up here on my own while they are back home in LA.
Every room keeps proving the same point. It’s not about adding more. It’s about getting the foundation right.
If you could only bring one of these Paris apartment design elements into your home, which one would it be?

It is warmer here now, but these were the looks I It is warmer here now, but these were the looks I reached for in Paris when the days were still cold. ❄️
I remember building each outfit around a coat or a scarf, with comfortable shoes that could take me anywhere, knowing I would be out for hours just walking.
Nothing overthought, just pieces that felt right for the pace of the day.
What would be your OOTD for a cold day in Paris?
If you want to shop these looks, comment SHOP and I will send you the link.
