the dark gray house. At first I worried this was a chalkboard but it's actually just a great color paint. I don't usually go for dark but this works!

Bridget Beari Makes Chalkboard Paint!

Who knew making chalkboard paint was so easy. I found plenty of recipes for it on the internet and Pinterest. Here is my official formula:

1 Cup of any color latex paint

1 TBSP of non sanded tile grout

Mix together so there are no lumps.

That's it!

Pick your surface. Prep and prime as
necessary. Use a roller for a smoother
surface. Dry between coats. I
recommend at least 2 coats. After the
surface is thoroughly dry. Prime it by
taking a piece of chalk and using it
sideways rub a light coat on the whole
surface then erase with a dry cloth.

Be creative!
