This project has been on the back burner for months. We finally tackled it over the holiday break, and boy, do I feel more organized with such a simple upgrade.
One pint of chalkboard paint later, we have the perfect spot for grocery lists and random art. Now I’m thinking I ought to paint all my cupboards?? Maybe?? Too much?? Yes!?!
Buy props used in MaryJane’s books and magazine!
5% of profits will benefit www.firstbook.org, a non-profit that provides new books to children from low-income families throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Here’s how:
MaryJane will post a photo and a description of a prop and its cost along with a few details as to its condition here: https://shop.maryjanesfarm.org/MaryJanesCurations. It’s a playful way to be the new owner of a little bit of farm herstory.
Meg, this was a great idea that you added to your kitchen! With young girls, it adds just the place for entertainment while you are busy and, like you said, the perfect place to make lists of needed items, things to do, or important happenings each day! Personally, I would not paint the rest of the cabinets because the black might overpower everything else and make the space look like a classroom. Perhaps, paint the doors of each child’s bedroom for more space to do random art?
Great idea! I agree with Winnie. I’m betting it would be too much!

And then, before you go grocery shopping, do you just take a picture of your list?!? Love it!
Winnie and CJ, I agree that it would make the room too dark. And Karlyne, how funny that it didn’t occur to me to do that! Haha! I will now. Thanks for the suggestion.
