resurrection: chalkboard paint
Admittedly, chalkboard paint in interiors has been widely used for quite some time now. The concept may be a bit passe, but the moody bedroom of sappy protagonist, Tom Hansen, in 500 Days of Summer has revived my interest! After scouring the world wide web for days the only photo that I could find of said bedroom shows only the slightest glimpse of Tom's fantastic faux headboard. If you can take your eyes off of the endearing Zooey Deschanel, try to peek behind her graceful shoulder for a slight look at his awesome "headboard".

My mom found a fabulous old school chalkboard which she hung in the kitchen. It looks so fabulous...she writes down dinner menus, cooking times, grocery lists...and then my dad leaves little love notes on it for her...
ReplyDeleteHello-
ReplyDeleteThe armoire/cabinet is so beautifully done.
Move over Cy Twombly!
You are starting a trend. cheers, www.thestylesaloniste.com
These are great, Scott. Good roundup. I have been longing to do some sort of chalkboard wall or piece in my house, but have been afraid that I would be the last one jumping on a train that had already left the station. But, chalkboard in a bedroom...I love it. Of course, all my love notes would be to myself, but that's ok!
ReplyDeleteGreat look, especially for a man's apartment. I'll have to see the movie.
ReplyDeleteJanet- that vintage chalkboard sounds adorable, but what's even more adorable is the way that your parents use it! -too sweet!
ReplyDeleteD.D.S.- Perfect Twombly reference! I think it's a fantastic cabinet, and would love to see more pieces like that; a simple rectangular cocktail table that could be drawn on- maybe the outline of a classically shaped table.
ReplyDeleteha ha ha, Abby I'm afraid I'm in the same boat! If only our puppies could leave us love notes!
ReplyDeleteBeth- You've gotta watch it! It's a sweet well written story, beautiful wardrobe, stunning sets, and inspiring soundtrack, and adorable actors. I know you'll love it!
I love the dining room, especially. Very inspiring post. It has me thinking...and that usually ends up being expensive! xx
ReplyDeleteLisa- You sound like a modern Lucy Ricardo! : )
ReplyDeleteI painted a chalkboard niche for my toddler son over thirty years ago. I remember the paint salesman being very baffled by my order. The rest of the room was red. He told me had never sold a gallon of red paint before and had been in the paint business all his life. And that he had never sold chalkboard paint for someone to use in their home. Today's interest in chalkboard makes me feel both very young and very old!
ReplyDeletethe wardrobe and the light simply rock...
ReplyDeletehome before dark- seems as though once a trailblazer always a trailblazer! ; )
ReplyDeletecustardbydesign- Aren't they great?! And, the moment that you inevitably tire of them you can quickly change the look!
ReplyDeleteTo give credit where credit is due, the chalkboard shown in the second photo (the dining room) is actually a large abstract work by artist Dan Christmas. It does look particularly Twombly-ish, though, doesn't it? Very fun!
ReplyDeletei have been trying to find a better photo of the chalkboard headboard too! that is actually how i found your blog. it's proven much more difficult than i thought!
