So chalkboard paint, according to my design mags and authoritative home bloggies is passe. So 2009, and it is almost 2011. It is a cliche - it has been overdone (Keep Calm and Carry On, anyone?) and it could have
serious health implications for anyone with asthma. This does not stop me from wanting it, ASAP covering the wall at the top of my stairs.
The paints themselves have mixed reviews, sounds like the secret is many coats + conditioning the chalkboard with an all over rubbing of chalk dust before writing on it.
Will this mean I have to vacuum more? Still - looking at these pics, how could you not love the smudgy spontaneity of writing on the walls?

What do you think? Should we go for it?
