Chalkboards in different sizes and shapes: rectangular, round, heart-shaped ... covering entire walls or in or small size frames, where you can only write a word or message! Because they are portable, these smaller dimensions boards can become quite fun, allowing to leave messages all over the house.

Following this concept, chalkboard paint appeared in the market a few years ago allowing to free our imagination and integrate it in many ways in our home decoration.

With chalkboard paint you can paint a wall transforming it into a giant board where you can write messages and draw pictures to erase and re-do them any time... this way,  your home decor will always be updated.
