New Pink Chalkboard Door
I have a pink kitchen but my dining room is a little plain. It has a white table, clear chairs, and a couple pink frames. I needed that extra pop of something that requires more less time, money and effort. I’m not afraid of color (I mean, my office has a lime green door on it) and I’m willing to get a little dirty if it means saving some money!
I’ve seen a ton of black chalkboard all over Pinterest, but pink? It wasn’t available at a general craft store. I found Pink Chalkboard Paint on Amazon. I bought two small jars and ended up using one, with about 4 coats on the door. A little goes a long way with this brand!
I wasn’t sure how to prep the door, but I found this amazing, AMAZING tip on Pinterest!!
I’m not very good at painting, and I was a little messy. Apparently you have to pay attention to these things.
I use it mostly not for the color but honestly for organization. It’s a meal planner, a shopping list, a to-do list, or just for love notes.
and I can practice my bad doodles
Overall, I’m really really happy with it, the color from this brand is HOT pink, but that’s exactly what I wanted.
I always see cool projects online but I feel I’m either not talented enough, or I won’t love it enough to devote time and effort to it. Now I can say I’ve tried the chalkboard trend and I absolutely love it!
It looks great! I made some metallic gray chalkboard paint this weekend, and you’re right, a little goes a long way. If I had my own place, it would be a lot like your kitchen…except all gray, I just can’t help it
omg, this is so cute Diana!!
I love this idea. I wish I could paint things at my apartment…. Maybe I can? But I sure don’t think so. The pink is so cute. xo, rv

So cute Diana! I didn’t think about how there are probably some colorful chalkboard paint companies out there. I want to chalkboard something so badly now. to chalkboard, that is a verb right?

cute!! I think you did a great job, the dinning room looks much better
That is an amazingly cute idea! It looks so pretty… definitely a pop of color right there.
you could’ve put a little note on there, “hi viri! ♥” just sayin’. i loves it!
it is perfect! and i love that you actually use it for day to day notes. hmmm, maybe covered in hearts for valentines? thanks for the tips. i’m going to pass this on.
I bought a container of this within 90 seconds of reading this post. My daughter is going to lose a freaking nut when I paint her door pink AND she can draw on it. Here’s to another awesome Diana inspired purchase! ♥
color me impressed! pink!!
So awesome! I love the way it turned out.
Martha Stewart has a DIY on how to make your own colored chalkboard paint
Just in case you ever wanted to try a different color and get crafty-er
this is awesome. i love it with the pink frame on the wall and the pink flowers on the table and everything else more neutral. i never would have thought to do an entire door in chalkboard paint.
this is really really cool! i would love to do this in my apartment!
Wow super cool, didnt know that they have pink

this is fantastic!! the best part is you going for it and getting it done :>
Oh, what an inspired idea! I think it really looks fantastic.
A tip I learned working in cafes is that coca cola is amazing for cleaning chalk boards, it cuts right through that leftover white residue and makes them look brand new. If you wipe it once with cola, and then over with a clean wet cloth it won’t get sticky. Doesn’t matter if it’s flat either so you can buy a bottle and keep it with the cleaning products without feeling you have to drink it. Anyway, your door looks gorgeous!
haha, I’m not a massive fan of pink but I will concede that this is AMAZING! haha, I love it!
This is amazing omg.
Oooh I love love LOVE it! Based on these peeks of your house that you’ve given us, I think you have one of the coolest houses around!!! I just love your style!
Diana, you’re fucking cool.
This is awesome! I’ve been researching chalkboard paint for my room. I wanted to paint one wall and turn it into a huge chalkboard. I wasn’t sure how much to buy but this helps me out a lot! Thank you! It looks so good, too!
Love it! What a fabulous shade of pink!!
This. Is. Amazing. I’m so totally in love with this! I’ve been thinking of doing a wall/door in non-black chalkboard paint and am so glad it worked out for you! You’ve totally inspired me! Love.
