DIY Chalkboard Canvas

Chalkboard stuff is totally in right now. Or maybe it's on its way out and I'm just behind. That's a good possibility since I've been seeing chalkboard all around for a while now. Chalkboard walls, framed chalkboards, chalkboard jars...all super cute! It's very easy to make anything into a chalkboard with a little bit of $3 chalkboard paint!

An Office Gallery Wall

This year I've slowly been working on organizing and decorating our little office space. It's always been the downstairs dumping ground but I wanted to change that, especially since both Hubby and I use it as a creative space. It can also be seen from the living room with no door to close it off. I think the room is technically supposed to be the dining room but the internet hook up is in there and we have our table in the kitchen.

It's coming along slowly, mainly because I'm terrible at organizing papers. Give me something I can decorate with and I can organize it. Random papers, not so much. Hubby and I are working on that part together.

For the longest time, we had a big, blank, white wall above the desk. Big white walls can be the equivalent of a white piece of paper that you have to write on for homework. It's a love/hate relationship. All that potential just waiting to happen, yet not knowing exactly where to start or where you want to end up. I finally decided to try a gallery wall.

Over the summer, I have been picking up cheap art at various thrift stores around town. Mostly blue and ocean themed. I didn't really intend for that to be, it's just what I was drawn to.  After the first few pieces, I knew I wanted an ocean themed gallery wall somewhere in our house. So I tried the office.
