We had this large expanse of white wall in the kitchen and for as long as anyone can remember I've been talking about turning it into a giant chalk board but I never felt like I had the time. Then I read this. If this woman can prep, paint and clear up a whole room in 24 hours then I can paint a single wall in a morning. And boy was it worth it the children were so pleased that it made my day. I had visions of a weekly calender, shopping lists and weekly menus on the board but I think there maybe just lots of drawing - and that's just fine by me.
