Fun with chalkboard paint!

I am a child and therefore I like to draw on things. So when I saw chalkboard paint a while back, I knew I would have to get some and put it on the small wall between my kitchen and living room.

Well, I finally did.

I was actually at Lowe's to get some other ishhh, but I happened to pass by chalkboard paint and impulsively bought some.

First off, when I first moved in, there was a big hole in the wall where the previous owner had a phone line.  I knew that I was going to put my mirror from Puerto Rico on that spot, so I did a really shitty job of patching the hole. But nobody knew!

Muahahahahahahahaha.

So I guess I had to actually patch the damn hole.  Fortunately, they sell HOLE PATCHING KITS! #winning.

Very simple. Put on mesh. Add spackle. Let dry. Sand. On a scale of one to Kim Kardashian, definitely a KK.

Step two: Paint!!

Again, pretty simple.  However, the paint is rather watery, so I had to do four coats.  

Step three: DRAW!

Here is my Nemo-themed wall:

And here is my Presidents' Day themed wall!

Things I learned:

1. Chalkboard paint is awesome.
2. Chalkboard paint takes more coats than I thought.
3. Chalkboard paint is awesome.
