DIY....Colored Chalkboard Painting

I finally got around to a project that I have been wanting to tackle for weeks...

my chalkboard painted wall!!!

I painted a small wall in my kitchen where I previously placed a useful, but eyesore wall decal chalk board. I used the same color paint that is in my living room/common room, so that the space would be cohesive. I found the recipe on Martha Stewart.com and tweaked it just a lil bit.

Only Two Ingredients
-Any Color Paint (3/4 cup)
-Unsanded Grout (2 tbsp)

Mix, Paint, Dry, Sand (if lumpy), Wipe, Paint 2nd coat, Dry, Chalk it up!

This would be awesome in a kids room,  bathroom, office, or foyer.  It's also cute for parties as you can place the menu on the board, silly party rules, or even a special message.

Let the Fairs Begin

One fun thing about New York is you can be walking down a random block and POW, your in the middle of a street fair! Grilled foods, yummy margaritas, live music, and people just out enjoying one another. Well this weekend was my neighborhoods turn and they did not disappoint...my fingers still smell like Mexican grilled corn as I type.

three words to live by

Casual day for running errands. This outfit looks like Autumn, but thats because it feels like Autumn outside, and it's beautiful. The weather is a huge factor in determining what I am going to wear. Sunshine, birds chirping, flowers blooming.... I was feeling extra positive this week and decided to wear my "Three Words to Live By" inspirational t-shirt.
