a chalkboard in the kitchen

A friend of mine posted pictures from her family home a bit ago on her blog.  They have a chalkboard to keep their lists on.  I so liked this idea because I lose the lists of paper.  I told my Beloved what I was wanting and he went through all the plywood we had.  He found a piece that was in great shape.

Small Mister and my Beloved went on a mission to the hardware store for chalkboard paint.  They painted the board and mounted it on the wall.  We have a chalkboard in the kitchen!  My Beloved said he would use a piece of sheetrock next time because it would give a smoother surface but it still works quite well.  I am finding when I have holes in my to do list, the holes get filled with "wants" for dinners.  It sure beats having to ask for ideas!

There is one hole in my list right now.  I wonder how it is going to get filled.
