Gotta Love a Chalkboard

You've seen spray chalkboard paint right?

It's like the best thing since sliced bread.

Rust Oleum makes it.

It rocks.

I used it the other day for a small project.

I have these child sized chairs that I've had since the kids were little.

I actually have 4 little chairs, but only used 3 here.  They came with an enamel-topped table that I bought when the kids were small enough to think eating and playing on it were cute.

I also have a problem space by my front stairway.

I would really like a bench/hook/coat rack piece of furniture made for that area...but it hasn't happened yet, so I'm improvising.

I set out these three little chairs the other day and had a lightbulb (I think a literal lightbulb) appear above my head.

Why not paint these with chalkboard paint and use them for a catch all for the kids school bags, or purses/coats when people come to visit.

I got out my handy dandy spray paint can of black chalkboard paint and went to work.  After it dried, I wanted to write some numbers on them in chalk, and then modpodge over them, but when I modpodged over them, the chalk disappeared, so.....

I added some paper letters and mod podged over them.

In a group, it looks much better.

They will stay for now, until I think of something else to go in their place.
