Our DIY Kitchen Chalkboard Wall

Note: The following content may contain affiliate links. See our full disclosure here.

Itโ€™s been years since Iโ€™ve picked up a paintbrush. I was so scared to mess this up. Scared to get paint on the ceiling, and on the floor.

Is one pint enough?

I had all the fears every new DIYer has!

But I really wanted to create a chalkboard wall in my kitchen.

Before

Chalkboard Paint Supplies

After talking and dreaming about this DIY project for a while, I headed to Loweโ€™s on a whim.

I found a can of chalkboard paint for $14.98!

I honestly thought hard about using Magnetic paint, but I donโ€™t even use magnets now. I envisioned using this wall for doodles and dinner menus!

Next, I went shopping around for paint supplies.

Hereโ€™s everything I used:

  • Mini Paint Roller Set
  • Angle Paint Brush
  • Brush Handle (Dollar Tree)
  • Painterโ€™s Tape
  • Painterโ€™s Gloves
  • Lawn & Leaf bags (for protecting surfaces)

I purchased a new black light switch cover too because I didnโ€™t want to paint the one I removed. It was only $5 on Amazon!

I didnโ€™t use a primer either. I painted right over the Flat Agreeable Grey thatโ€™s on our walls.

We will eventually have to repaint everything, so this project was a perfect way for me to gain some confidence.

How to Paint Like A Pro

I used the Angle brush at first to paint along the edges, then I used my mini roller brush to fill in the gaps.

I have to say, once that first coat of paint went on it felt amazing!!!

I couldnโ€™t believe I was actually doing it โ€” I was bringing my vision to life, one stroke at a time.

I applied two coats as recommended, and let it dry for several hours.

The last and final step is to โ€œseasonโ€ your wall!

I took Crayola chalk and scrubbed it on its side up and down, left and right.

This will make the chalkboard paint function like a real chalkboard, so you can erase things easily after each use.

After I washed all that chalk off with a damp microfiber cloth, it was time to doodle!

After

My boys are loving our new kitchen chalkboard wall and I love how easy and beginner-friendly this DIY was for me!

Now that I have a permanent place to write our weekly meals, everyone can stop asking me โ€œwhatโ€™s for dinner?โ€
