KITCHEN CHALK!

chalkboard wall in kitchen

I know they are almost cliche now but I am still loving chalkboard walls. The heart of the home, the kitchen, is a great place for a matte black wall that you can write on. When blank it looks really cool and rich and when all chalked up they are tres functional.

A great accent wall.

Maybe chalkboard walls are not cliche...maybe their a new classic? What do you think?

P.S. Demo has started on my little house in Hollywood Hills. The construction guys are ripping out the outside concrete and flagstone and then they'll tear out the wood floors on the inside. My neighbor just wrote me saying "Wow, looks like half your house is being dug up!". Hmmm...note to self, stop by house/construction site later today to make sure house is still standing!

SMART DESIGN: CLEVER TRICKS OF THE DESIGN TRADE!

white kitchen with dark wood floor and a stainless steel wall covered in magnets
A stainless steel wall in a bright Seattle kitchen is the perfect place for those magnates you usually see on refrigerator doors! (above)

I was on the website of interior designer Laura Bohn...searching through her portfolio when I came across these three images. Cute fun innovative design ideas.  I like the idea of taking a material or finish that has typically been seen one way and using it differently.  Here are three SMART DESIGNS!  Take a look!

Chalkboard paint is used every  where these days but I've never seen it used on a fireplace surround...way to warm up the setting with some nice words! (above)

Okay...I have never seen this before...commercial metal shelving - a cart with wheels -  repurposed  into a  bath sink base! (above)
What do you think of these clever design ideas?  Like or dislike?  Can you imagine using any in your home?

I like the stainless steel wall the best I think!

Happy Monday!
