My Aunt Tami is a huge role model to me. She has the most adorable (and always well-dressed) children, has some fantastic recipes up her sleeve, takes time to dress fashionably herself (even with six kids!), and her house is always decorated to model-home quality. We stopped by a few months ago and I was reminded of how much I love Aunt Tami’s style. One of the most memorable additions to her charming kitchen was a side cupboard panel that had been turned into a chalkboard wall. Just darling!
My mind starting spinning with ideas of how to do something like this in our kitchen, even though we’re in a rental. Painting the built-in cupboards isn’t really an option. When I saw these chalkboard papers from Wallies, I freaked out a little inside. My chalkboard wall dreams were obtainable!
This is the Big Chalkboard which comes as one giant piece 25″ x 38″ in dimension. This is sold for $24.99 and it even comes with chalk! I was a little worried as I unrolled the sheet to see the deep wrinkles,
…but as you can see, once applied to the flat surface, the wrinkles aren’t a problem. I only wish that there was a square grid behind it, on the peel-away paper, to make cutting and trimming easier. I applied this first with tape up the sides, and then ripped away pieces at a time and smoothed it down with a shower squeegee. It only took one application, but even if that doesn’t happen, this is re-positionable, so mistakes can be corrected.
I’m so happy!! I can’t wait to do some artsy writing every month according to the season and holidays. Without a lot of storage space for holiday decorations, I’m really liking the decor that can be interchangeable and stay out all year. I still have more than half of the sheet leftover to try on other surfaces, and it looks exactly like a real chalkboard. Completely legit.
Wallies has a number of chalkboard decals, among all sorts of decals, cutouts and murals, and even Holiday Wallies!
But these aren’t just for mom! Look at these fun ideas for kids and children’s bedrooms:

A couple sheets of this chalkboard would be great in the new playroom for the kids! Do you know what the chalkboard material is made of, ie. vinyl backing?
Shoot, I threw out the packaging. The front is vinyl and the back is just sticky, but not at all damaging to walls. I think this would be safe on any surface since its so re-positionable. For a big space like a playroom wall, this would get pretty expensive (~$25/sheet), but its great for small spaces! I’d love to see your new place, Pam!!
