Hee hee hee!!! This makes me so excited. When I first got hired as the cook at the sorority house, I immediately had this vision of having a big chalkboard on which to write the nightly menu, like a swanky cafe or something. I've also had a can of chalkboard spray paint that's been sitting around, unused, for like three years. At least.
The board I finally bought is not very big, but it can sit on the buffet table without being ostentatious. I just sanded it, gave it two coats of chalkboard paint, and rubbed the entire surface with chalk a few times.
Check out Martha's awesome chalkboard paint ideas here. R and I definitely want to give the bottom half of the kitchen wall (in our future permanent home, that is) the chalkboard treatment.
Okay. It is time to go make dinner, and L was supposed to be sleeping for the last 20 minutes, but instead, she was screaming. That should make dinner prep a breeze. Wish me luck!

Love it!! I have a friend who has a chalk board wall in her kids play room. What a great idea!!
Ok, that's just cool! I've gotta find a wall to do that on in my future home!
If I was a sorority girl and I saw this dinner menu on my kitchen table, I would be stoked! This dinner looks amazing.
This post makes me want to sqeeze you! You're a lovable gal!
I've always been intrigued by chalkboard paint. I thought I might want some, but then I feared it might make the kids think it's okay to color everywhere.
Our kids LOVE having chalk boards to write on, and the plus side is, they know they can only write on the wall in chalk, and it comes off easily even if they get it somewhere they shouldn't have. Sadly, they have put marker on the chalk board area, but...they learned that it doesn't come off, they were sad, and it was in their playroom, so no harm done! Love the stuff. Your idea with that cute meal board is so sweet. I'll bet those gals love you to death.
