This is absolutely amazing! I just bought a table from Craigslist. My husband hates it, but I thought it was a pretty good price for the condition it was in. Besides, I want something that I won’t freak out over if my children happen to do a little banging. Trust me, with six boys, what isn’t wrong with the table now… will soon be wrong in the near future :0) I knew I wanted to paint my table black, but I didn’t know that I wanted a chalkboard table until I saw your blog. Thanks for sharing!!!

A lot of people mentioned being afraid of grease stains on this. I’m wondering, can you use any type of standard surface cleaner (409, etc) or will that ruin the paint? What do you guys use to clean greasy stains?

So, I was introduced to chalkboard paint about 5 years ago by my cousin. She painted the inside an old thrift store frame and we use it as a notice board in the family home. We all have to sign and date our name for when we are there. It’s cheesy, but fun. So, when I saw this I knew that I had to do it in my kitchen. I choose white chairs in high lacquer as the contrast as well. It looks amazing! I’m so happy you guys exist as a forum for creative design.
