Chalkboard Paint

Have you ever considered adding a Chalkboard to a room? It's a great addition for a children's room or perhaps a kitchen to keep those lists handy. With Benjamin Moore's Studio Finishes® Chalkboard (307) paint, you can turn any rectangular area into scribble space. The paiint is erasable, washable, and durable enough to stand up to lots of little hands.


Step 1 - Prepare Surfaces
Once you have selected the wall(s) for your chalkboard, clean the surface completely and repair any protruding nails or other imperfections.

Step 2 - Tape Off Your Chalkboard
Use masking tape to mark off a rectangular space for your chalkboard, and apply Studio Finishes Chalkboard (307) paint within the taped-off area.

Step 3 - Framing
Use decorative molding or a colorful painted border to give your chalkboard space an extra personal touch. Remember to include a ledge for chalk and erasers.

Helpful Hints

- In children's rooms, be sure to make your chalkboard low and large enough so that younger children can reach and have ample space.
- In your office or study, paint a chalkboard calendar with squares for dates. Then update your schedule with a swipe of the eraser.
- Try a chalkboard in the kitchen for shopping lists, phone messages, and easy recipe reference
