My chalkboard pantry.

I bought a chalkboard Uppercase Living decal recently and when it came, it was huge. I wasn't thinking when I ordered it and should have measured it first, so last night just as I was sitting down to email the demonstrator saying I wanted to return it, an idea came to me. Ever since I saw all of these different bloggers make a chalkboard for themselves, I have been thinking about how I wanted to implement that into my house also. (See Leslie's here, Holly's here, and Jessica's here.) However, my kitchen layout is a little different and there isn't a lot of wall space for that. I decided to cut the decal in half and then size it to the molding on the cupboard on on the pantry... genius, right? Long story short, here it is:



The best part? For my non-committing type personality, anytime I get sick of it being there, I can just peel it right off. For now, maybe this will help me be a little more organized when it comes to meals. And maybe, just maybe, it will cut down on the multiple times my husband says weekly "we don't have anything to eat!" Nahhh... probably not.

The other half of the decal is now in our office. And maybe this one will help us be more organized with our busy and not-so-great-at-communicating-to-each-other lives. Hey, a girl can dream, right?
