So I decided to go two dimensional ... I love painting on walls, it's very relaxing. When the children were little I found it hard to get cross if they wrote on a wall because I know how good that feels!
I painted a trompe l'œil frame around the blackboard, and to make it more fun screwed a couple of little aluminium hooks for my tea towels and aprons underneath.
And the day I don't like it any more I shall get out the brushes and start all over again!
Very happy to be linking in to the chalkboard party at SIxty Fifth avenue

ReplyDeleteJe ferais avec plaisir des aquarelles de votre maison, pas besoin d'être riche et célèbre... Ce matin j'attends des clients de Paris qui viennent
spécialement pour voir mes aquarelles...
À bientôt,
Céline.
LOOOOVE it! You are such a lovely mother to have let your kids paint on walls- not many of us are ok with 'stuff' like that- BUT it does feel good!

I can't believe you made this yourself! I want one in my own future home--how fun! The painted frame is tres chic!
ReplyDeleteXX katie
perfect! way to solve that problem of knocking it off the wall!
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't believe you painted that frame around it! It looks really cute and I love the hooks at the bottom!
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that! What a great idea Sharon, I have never seen anything like that before and I love the notion that you can just paint it away. You wouldn't of course, because it is perfect just the way it is:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever girl you are!
