What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Janell Beals - House of Fifty Mag to Twelve Creative Ways To Decorate With Message Boards

A classic chalkboard leaning against a wall in this dining room adds to the comfortable charm of the design. The walnut stained frame is perfect here, placed alongside a ledge lined with wood in a similar tone.

added by Lily Gahagan to Get Artful with Artichokes

Carve out the artichoke heart and you've got a space that fits a votive candle and holder just right.

added by Danyelle Mathews to Chalk It Up

If you're feeling nervous about adding chalkboard paint to your walls or furniture, painting a piece of plywood framed out with molding might help ease your fears. The panel can be moved from room to room and changed up to fit into any décor.

added by Julia Pockett to Accessorize a Traditional Kitchen the Beautiful, Practical Way

Finally, a little bit of fun. A blackboard isn't necessarily a traditional feature, but if you can get the right style, it is a very practical one. Pop family messages and shopping lists on there or create a mini bistro and announce the menu to your guests.More: 15 Elements of a Traditional Kitchen
