I'll have to pop over to ebay to see what they cost. I have a can of blackboard paint that I was planning on using on the center part of our upstairs doors. That sounds weird, but the doors to Celeste's bedroom and my office are both framed in a way that makes one part seem like a natural place for a blackboard. Instead of taping messages and reminders on doors like we do, I figured we could just write it. We also bought some dry erase paint to use in both her room and Geoff's office, but haven't used it yet. You have to mix two solvents together and use it all at the same time, so we're waiting until we have both areas ready. (She'll probably be in college by then.) And Melly -- we did change the orientation of the island, but it was easy to do. The people who built that kitchen never secured the island, so we just had to push it!

Also, I've always thought chalkboard paint is fun in the kitchen for lists, etc., but that might be too much black. Looks great!
