I mean, i just don't. Why does everything need to be written/drawn on? Okay, nice chalkboard signs and placards, tags, ONE wall in a room, table tops and even cups, I get it. But why does it have to be on all.the.things???
I've seen chalk board paint:
Now, I love to doodle as much as the next gal. But this really doesnt make sense to me. I mean, chalkboard paint is usually black (but of course we have all seen the pinterest pin about how to make any paint into chalkboard paint) so its dark and not suited to cover walls in huge rooms and its very unforgiving of that nasty chalk dust that always covers the surface.
Also, if its regularly written/drawn on then it will usually feature sloppy handwriting and scribbles and half-erased messages and CHALK DUST! At this point it ceases to be an art piece and just becomes and eyesore. And if its NOT drawn on but is meant to feature a permanent word, design or image, why do it in chalk which wipes away so easily??
I just think this trend is bizarre and outta control. Chalkboard paint, like all things is much better enjoyed in moderation.
No offense to people who have chalkboard paint covered houses. :)
I've seen chalk board paint:
- covering whole rooms
- on earrings---so you can draw on your earring to match your outfit?
- on baby bibs
- on Christmas tree ornaments
- covering whole refrigerators
- covering a chest of drawers/dresser
- on Easter eggs in lieu of dye
- As fancy wall art
- On pumpkins
