"I would never in a million years have thought you could fix leather up like this....this is a game changer for me! My Mam has a leather couch that could do with this make over as she can't afford a brand new one if this works she really will be delighted with her life!!!"

From the blogger: "I'm obsessed with the sheer size of this chalkboard. It's total overkill and I totally adore it. I want to show you how to make a ginormously huge chalkboard for your house too! I had all these dreams of encouraging words and Bible scriptures and "I love yous" on the chalkboard to greet my family as they came through the garage door every day. Instead the board is covered in signatures, scribbles, and autographs; and, you know what? It's just as meaningful. Every time we have friends or kids over, there is new writing on it and that makes my heart happy."

DIY Project Instructions

Decide on the dimensions of your chalkboard.
Tape off the space with painter’s tape and roll on several coats of chalk paint.
Cut the pieces of the frame according to the chalkboard dimensions, and mitre the corners.
Attach the pieces directly to the wall with a nail gun. (This is much easier than assembling the frame on the floor and hanging it.)
Don’t forget the chalk!

I wish I would have had these ideas when my kids were little. As much as they loved to draw and color on the walls, this would have been the perfect outlet for them without all the washing and repainting for me. Guess this is one to save for when the grandkids come along.
