KITCHEN CHALK!

January 18, 2013
  • Share
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?

Alexis Banks Humiston didn’t just design this 9,20 Alexis Banks Humiston didn’t just design this 9,200 sq ft Nashville home, she moved in with the family for two days first.
She interviewed everyone, including the 6 and 8-year-olds, before touching a wall. The payoff shows up in the details: a hand-painted constellation ceiling in the son’s room by @willemrackestudio, a floral canopy bed for the daughter, and a hidden reclaimed-wood bar tucked into the attic eaves.
Every room feels like it was made to be lived in, not admired.

Velvet, woven wood, molded modern, sculptural, cast brass — seven islands, seven completely different takes on where you actually sit down. Some rooms go quiet with it, some go bold. Both work.

An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate.An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate. 🍂
You don’t need a perfectly styled table or a dozen new pieces to make a fall gathering feel special. Start with what you already have and layer in a few simple details.
Think woven placemats + simple white plates + gingham napkins + fresh greenery. Add clear glassware and a simple centerpiece, and you have a table that feels warm, collected, and ready for dinner with friends.
The best part? Most of these elements can work beyond fall, too. Just switch out the napkin pattern or greenery and you have a completely different look.
Save this for your next fall gathering and use it as a starting point for your own table. 🤎
