So, I can't really say that this project was ALL my idea because I have seen chalkboard coffee tables around a lot of places.
I always thought it was a good idea, so then a few days ago when Grace might have found a pen and decided it was a good idea to draw all over my cute pedestal coffee table in our front room... instead of busting out the magic erasers and making a big deal out of it... I decided to embrace drawing on tables and gave it a coat of chalkboard paint.
The room needed some darker elements to make it more grounded, so I think it's actually PERFECT! I've prepared myself to embrace lots of messy chalky scribbles, but actually I think it adds a load of character and helps our house feel even more lived in.
So the lesson is, why fight writing on furniture when you can embrace it?

I think this is such a great idea!
I've been thinking of doing this with my little boy's table for a while.
Your table turned out lovely!!
I just painted one myself, and now am looking for a clever way to hold the chalk. thinking of drilling hole in table to hold cup. Where does your chalk hide? Kristin
This looks so good. I want to do the same thing to my daughters mini table in her nursery but wonder if it will inadvertently teach her to write on the table. Your thoughts? Stop by and check out my blog if you get a minute. Cheers, MGal watchmediy.com
