do you remember a while back when i showed you my chalkboard wall in the gift shoppe? no? well, click here to catch up, then come back here and continue reading.

i updated the wall for the winter season about a month ago and i totally forgot to share it with you!  bad michael!

anyway… here’s how it looks right now…

i was inspired by a wall decal i found on etsy a while back. but i can’t for the life of me find it now. sorry about that.

i thought it turned out pretty cute. over the holidays i had a couple wreaths on the windows and swags on the windowsills.

i haven’t received my spring wreaths yet, so that’s just a random sprig of forsythia hanging there, but you get the idea. isn’t that little cat so cute? love him.

and if you haven’t noticed i’ve added some new button/links to the sidebar on the right. i finally updated the about me page. so feel free to give it a read if you’d like.

    This is gonna start a chalkboard window wall phenomenon. I can’t get over how awesome it is. For reals. I can’t keep up with all your stuff that I want to copy, slow down already! (No, not really, keep going, I love it.)

    It’s funny that you posted this tonight. I have a HUGE chalkboard out in my barn that is ugly green. Tonight I told my husband I was going to paint it with black chalkboard paint, frame it with some wonderful vintage trim and hang it in my office. I’ll let ya know when I get it done (will be awhile)

    this is so fun! I don’t think my BF would appreciate it much if I wiped out his friends’ drawings/scribbles on our chalkboard wall for this though :P

    Wow!! I am so glad that you were featured on Someday Crafts!! I am so impressed/inspired!! I love your blog and artistic style. I’m followin’ you for future inspiration! You’re so talented, so amazing! I just painted my FR wall with eggshell black paint. It works kinda like a chalkboard… I’m thinking some fun stuff should appear on it from time to time!

    That is so cool. I used to have an old school-type chalkboard in my dining room and aspirations of filling it with something that looks as great as this, but I was never able to. Feeling inspired to maybe try again. Thanks for the great idea–

    Wow, wow, wow and WOW!!!! I’m sure you’ve heard it about fifty gazillion times now…but that wall is amazing!

    I love that you change it out from time to time…although I think this might be my favorite. :)

    Oh my gosh . . . this is one of the coolest chalkboards I’ve seen. You are amazing. I wish I could draw like you. Mine would never come out like that! One of my frustrations with chalkboards is that I have a hard time writing with the chalk and haven’t been able to find chalk pens in my town. Do you use regular chalk or one of the newer pens? Glad I found your blog. Very fun!

    This is such a great idea! It reminds me of illustrations in a couple books I used o read as a child. So fresh and whimsical.
    Love it! Great job.
