Magnetic Chalk Board Wall

Well it’s been 3 months since my last post, mostly because DIY projects while I was on maternity leave were very limited to say the least!!!!!

We did however create a magnetic chalk board wall under the stairs for Presley for her Valentine’s Day present and she is completely obsessed with it! The access is right off her play room so it was the perfect spot!

We have a bunch of wasted space under our stairs and I thought this would be the perfect spot for a little play area for her. I bought some tintable chalk board paint (tinted it navy blue but there are tons of colors to choose from, I wanted something dark so she could still use all the chalk colors). One can will get you about 100sqft.

The lady at Lowes suggested we also buy a magnetic primer to put underneath which was actually an awesome idea but one can will only get you about 16sqft and the stuff is not cheap at $20 a can so make sure you have a small wall :)
We finished the room off with a miniature fairy door installed into the drywall in between the studs, some chalk and magnet holders and of course some frozen decals and this room is her new favorite space!!!!!!!
 Not only can she write all over the wall without getting in trouble but she LOVES her farm animal magnets and we also got alphabet and number magnets so she can start practicing spelling.
She asks to play on her wall every day and if I want some quiet time this is the perfect place for her! Would highly recommend one in every home!

Client Testimonials
  • We had been looking for a good builder to build our home. We are from up north and were a little cautious about choosing a builder. Our in-laws had just built a new home and when we went to see it, along with seeing the American Heritage model home and the costs involved, we were impressed and approached American Heritage to build our home. We initially worked with Seth to formulate the plans for our home. We also worked with their architect and Seth contributed ideas as we went along. When the building started, Shem took over. He mans the building part of the home. We found both Seth and Shem great to work with. When we had changes that needed to be addressed, they were amiable and worked with us on them. Our neighbor next door watched as the home was being built and said that it was very good workmanship and he was amazed at how fast the home went up. He had built two homes himself. Shem had contractors lined up and it went very smoothly. There wasn’t hardly a day that went by when someone wasn’t working on it. We have had many complements regarding our home. The home has a good warrantee and we have called if anything was not right or needed to be fixed according to the plans, they immediately took care of it. We are really enjoying our new home. We love it, thank you to Seth, Shem and all the folks at American Heritage here in St. George, Utah.
