I know what you are thinking...did I read that correctly? Can you really make your own chalkboard paint in any color? Why yes you can!!!

Chalkboard paint can be expensive, and it usually comes in two colors, black or green. Not that black and green aren't lovely, but what if you want a pink chalboard, or possibly a bright orange one? No worries my friend...you can have a chalkboard in any color you like. I know, I know...I am a little obsessed with chalkboards. I seriously have one in almost every single room of my home. I just think they are wonderful. I mean, what's better than being able to write down a list and erase it later, or write down your favorite quote, or write a huge happy birthday message to your kiddos? Nothing! Absolutely nothing is better...well, maybe something, but whatever.

Okay, here is the top secret recipe...be sure to pin it to your favorite Pinterest board to save it!

What? That easy? Yep...tell ya mamma, tell ya friends! Seriously...you need to Pin this to Pinterest so you don't forget ;)

Extra cool tip...don't buy a bunch of paint...buy samples! They usually come in an 8oz container and you can get any color. A little goes a long way!

Now you can paint your own chalkboards...kind of like some of the chalkboards I have painted...truth be told, I haven't revealed my newest colorful chalkboard yet, but I'm going to soon!!!
