Growth Chart

I take back everything I ever said about not posting anymore chalkboard projects!!! I felt like I had posted too many, so I thought I would wait for a bit before posting anymore. But you know what happens when you say that! I found the CUTEST ideas! And they just kept coming!

Like this one from Katie at Clean and Classic Interiors:

See it to the left over there. She actually posted this picture on her blog to show off the storage for her dog food! It is really cute too! But that chalkboard growth chart!! I need it!

But she bought it at Pottery Barn a while ago. It is metal, so she suggested painting a piece of sheet metal. I might go for a 2x6 and paint it with magnetic chalkboard paint. She also suggested using this pen:

so that you can write the numbers and they will look like chalk!!

Can you die from chalk dust inhalation? Because I think we are going to have an unsafe amount of chalk dust in my house after I complete all these chalkboard projects!!

This is sooo cute! I've bookmarked it as a project to do when we move to our final destination. Please don't delete your blog in the next couple of years!

so cute! I can't wait to try it, or maybe I'll let you try it first and work out the kinks :)
no you can't die from chalk dust but it is awful for asthma :)
