This is a simple design for the kitchen.
It is as basic as nailing a giant painting to the wall.
It can be removed easily, be portable, or temporary.
I used a thin Birch panel since it's a cabinet grade plywood with a smooth surface. I had in storage a little less than a quart of black semi-gloss latex paint, so I used it for the first coat which covered it nicely. Then I mixed the remainder of the paint with some leftover joint compound mud (about half a cup). I always prime the surface first but not this time, I knew the mixture would create the right texture (and I did put one coat of the regular black paint first). There are many variations of the formula and even ready-to-use chalkboard contact paper, but the mix I used worked well and it is easy to clean up. |
