Chalkboards



My most recent find this summer on the side of the road

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE chalkboards! Maybe it reminds me of playing school when I was little. I find myself collecting chalkboards of all sizes. It doesn't stop there either.....I'm obsessed with chalkboard paint! I use it on inexpensive clay pots, my pantry cupboards, in the kids playroom and even on pumpkins for Halloween. I think for turkey day I'll paint little gourd pumpkins as name place settings.

Painted clay pot- so easy to change out for summer herbs

Our painted pantry cupboards-great for making grocery lists.


My favorite chalkboard in our foyer greeting guests
What kinds of things have you used chalkboard paint on?

Testing the Water!

All three of my girls are now in school and I'm still trying to get use to the idea that I'm not responsible for anyone other than myself from 8:15am-3:15pm! Needless to say I'm testing the water in my new role as a mother of three growing girls. With those few extra minutes in my day I thought this would be the perfect time to start my blog. Follow me in my journey to showcase unique finds for my home, all things different, everyday living and so much more!
I love this scarf-it's how I feel!
