I remember this cute little guy from when you originally posted about him. Glad to see him again! Thanks so much for linking up Rhoda!

I love this kitchen area. I might have to copy this…;)

And by “might” I mean, “definitely”.

I haven’t done one yet either but I’ve been thinking about it. You could even put some glaze on the white so it picks up the print and highlights of the rabbit.

Fantastic! I love it and I think you do layering in a very clean and good way, and it doesn't look cluttered at all. Way to go and some good inspiration!

Hi Rhoda! Congrats on your first chalkboard~I love your vision with this one. I sprayed chalkboard paint right over glass as well and it's been holding up for almost 2 years. Thanks for the advice on the grasscloth also~I love it now! The lighting I had in there was horrible, I replaced the yellow flourescent bulbs with the GE Reveal bulbs and it made a HUGE difference. I'll see you back here in just a bit for thrifty treasures

Again, you blow me away with the possibilities see in things, Rhoda. It's a gift! Both of these projects turned out wonderfully. I painted the closet doors in my office with chalkboard paint many years ago and still love it. I post notes, room dimensions, room arrangement sketches; play Hangman with my granddaughters or they do math problems or drawings. Love chalkboard paint!

I also love that you acknowledge that the wall would be too much stuff for some. I'm not a minimalist (whatever that is), but I prefer fewer pieces; lots of stuff makes me feel clogged up. I've always loved negative space and open spaces. Doesn't mean that one style is better than another in any way, just that we're all wonderful individuals and can appreciate an celebrate one another's differences. You rock!
