Sometimes something just grabs at you.
cozy kitchen
Sometimes its long after its already grabbed so many others. I know that the movie 500 Days of SUMMER has been out for a while now, but I really just can’t seem to get enough of all the eye, ear, and brain candy that is placed perfectly throughout this film.
Peep this chalkboard wall
lovely moments
The thing that most grabbed at me was one of the main characters ‘Tom’s ‘ masculine chalkboard infused bedroom. The beauty of this part of the film is that his room has one full wall that has been painted with chalkboard paint, but continues to change at various times throughout the film. For you artsy folk out there, its worth watching just to take a ganders at this chalkboard wall.
Here are some other gems with chalk to get you all inspired…
I'm calling this the mustache look! & I love it
I feel like chalkboard paint is such a fun way to spice things up for the artistically minded DIYer or homeowner. Give a sense of creative freedom to the owner. How fun would it be to erase your doodles, or to let your kids run rampant fingers of chalk all over one of your walls?
kids can finally play!
I absolutely love chalkboard paint. I’m thinking about using some in my daughter’s room. I’ll have to check out that movie. I’m a sucker for a love story.

That is really a wonderful idea!… certainly would be a delight for kids to just go crazy on their walls…and less expensive than constantly painting over attempted “murals”, like my Mom did! Good find Alicia! Thanks!
JULIE!
How silly and fun right? YES absolutely much more cost effective to have an eraser vs. mural after mural… or even worse… repainting every time the kiddos change their favorite color. lol
If I had a little buddy I would definitely do this. Only problem would be the impermanence of the precious little doodles.
Hope you have a great week lady! MUAH
Me too! Dana you are absolutely going to adore this movie!!! I just know it! Let me know what you think after you watch it! xo
