Fun Barstool Update with What Else?... Chalkboard Labels!

~ Happy Tuesday! ~

I hope everyone you are all enjoying your summer! 

I think I need to get out from behind this computer, and get to the beach! I'm picturing myself under my beach umbrella, reading my kindle with my toes in the sand. 

Of course in reality, I'm more likely to be the victim of wild sand flinging, while the little guy tries to construct a "village" out of sand! 
(Maybe I should take an actual book, and leave the Kindle at home, sand-free.)

Today I am sharing another quick project I did with more of those peel and stick chalk labels I cut to size, and my trusty chalk pen. (So much better than chalk!)


 Weird, in the pics the labels almost look blue. They are normal chalkboard gray black.



 It is a fun little update for my Ikea barstools. As you may know, we are in the middle of a kitchen reno, so this room will look a whole lot different very soon!


I think that in the last couple of weeks, I have successfully demonstrated my love for all things chalkboard! 

Hope you are having a wonderful week! 

Thanks for stopping by!

    1. Barb,

      You are too sweet! I loved getting to know you at Haven, and I feel the same about meshing from the start! You are a such a sweetheart, and a total crack up! :-)

      p.s. I was just talking about you with the hubs last night!

      xoxo-Lisa

  2. these are too cute! i love chalkboard everything. :) i did a chalkboard bookcase i posted on monday! maybe it comes from the fact that i love to doodle and draw and chalkboard paint makes it possible to doodle on anything. nothing is impossible with chalkboard paint. :)

  3. Let's totally run off to the beach!! I promise not to throw any sand at you. ;)

    Dinner was so lovely! I totally agree with a big pajama party at the next Haven! Something else that would be fun is like a speed dating thing were we all have the chance to sit down for five minutes and get to know every single person there. Although that would probably take forever!

    And finally - these chairs are adorable! I love the dark chalkboard with the wood stain - it is a fabulous contrast!!

      I am thinking that 250 plus ladies in their Pj's would really raise some eyebrows with the hotel staff and other guests!! Haha!! -But, it would be so fun!

    1. Gretchen,

      I am trying very hard to restrain myself, and NOT label everything in the house!

      I looked at Home Goods last night, and did not see anymore, but I will let you know if I find more somewhere...

      I love quick and easy. I'll just be honest here...some days I have the attention span of a nat when it comes to home projects. It's nice every now and then to just do some EASY ones!!

  10. It's ok to have a love affair with chalkboards - just don't tell your husband!

    I need to find a chalkboard pen! Love your numbered stools too and can't wait to see the big kitchen reveal!
