Have fun! I’m totally amazed at how different my mudroom looks now! The great part is that Target was totally a one stop shop for me! I ran over to the home improvement section for the paint, then headed straight over to home decor to grab the cute pillow, throws, and art to complement the door! So fun and so convenient! If you want links to the other Target products, here they are: pillow, throw, art, metal envelopes. Now, purchase a plastic organizer with different bins for different items.
“Seasoning” your chalkboard helps to prevent shadowing or ghost letters in the future! See an example photo below.ħ) Draw your heart away! When it’s time to erase, a damp cloth or paper towel works better than a regular eraser. This system using chalkboard paint is genius Take everything out of your drawer and paint the bottom. It probably would have been fine after two, but I had tons of paint and wanted it dark!Ħ) Before writing on your chalkboard, rub entire surface with the broad side of a piece of chalk. I used a brush, but it’s all about personal preference! Mix your paint well before each coat. I did three coats, waiting about an hour and 1/2 in between each coat. No need to remove your whole door, but taking off the handle ensures it won’t get paint covered!ģ) Tape off the door’s trim! I basically just taped any edges of the doors trim that may come in contact with the brush during painting! If any paint does get on the trim of the door accidentally or some seeps through, magic erasers work great when removing this Devine Color chalk paint, if that becomes necessary!Ĥ) Paint! This is the fun part! The chalkboard paint can be applied with a roller or a brush. off the door and give it plenty of time to dry!Ģ) Take off your handle. You just want to get any gunk, finger prints etc. Obviously, I’m not great about following directions, but so far it hasn’t really mattered. I just took a rag with hot water and rung it out tight. The chalkboard paint will feel dry to the touch after about 30 minutes, but the can says to wait 24 hours before putting on a second or third coat.
I love that I can write an inspirational message like the one pictured, or notes and reminders on it, or both! My kids have had a lot of fun drawing on it too! You ready for the easy step by step?ġ) Clean your door. Let the paint dry completely and then prime the chalkboard wall by rubbing chalk over the entire thing and then erasing it. It can be rolled directly onto drywall to create a chalkboard wall.
I had always wanted a chalkboard door, but didn’t really know where to put it! When the Devine Color + Target line came out and they had Blue Jean chalkboard paint (my favorite color) I knew I had to make it happen! The mudroom seemed like the perfect place. Chalkboard paint is a paint you can write on with chalk. All opinions are 100% mine.Īfter I posted my mudroom reveal a little while back lots of people asked for a step by step tutorial on the chalkboard door, so your wish is my command! The new Devine Color + Target line is honestly pure magic, you guys! It is so easy and fun to work with, I pinky promise you can do it! Are you ready to dig in?
