{New House - Blackboard Wall}

So I have previously talked about my wish to create a blackboard wall in my kitchen, and I've finally gotten around to finishing it!

I'm really pleased with the end result. I was initially disappointed with it's lack of magnetism, but I've managed to get some round magnets from Sainsburys that seem to work. Thank you to Heather (H34TH3RM4C) over on Instagram for the tip!

This is the paint I used which I purchased at HomeBase

First coat done!

I ended up doing 4 coats in total, and I needed two tins of paint at £14.99 each

Mini artist at work!

This is me apparently!!

I invested in a liquid chalk pen and it's amazing!!! Has made a massive difference in comparison to basic chalk that the kids use.

I'm seriously considering painting a wall in my kitchen with blackboard paint. Vicky - you are to blame for this!!

I've been scouring Pinterest for ideas, and it's really spurring me on to go ahead with it. Some of the walls are beautiful. I'm thinking I could also add some of my Instagram prints to the wall with washi tape.

Here are some of the photos I've pinned:
