Chalk it up

After looking through hundreds of design photos, I knew one of the things I definitely wanted in my new apartment was a chalkboard, either near my desk for jotting work notes, or in the kitchen for writing recipes and grocery lists.

Last weekend, Derek and I completed our project, creating the perfect chalkboard for under $15. Check in tomorrow to see the finished product. For now, here are some of my favorite chalkboards from around the web!
