And, actually, it often stays out all year long because it’s just so cute and natural-looking..

I ended up asking Chris to make this for Kennedy’s room though, so of course he went and turned a quick little project into a whole.I usually get pretty annoyed when this happens (and it always happens), but this time the extra effort was definitely worth it.

I love how this chalkboard turned out!.If you’ve been thinking about building yourself a custom-sized chalkboard, why not go ahead and make something that’s going to look great and really last?It may have taken Chris a little longer than I would have liked, but it really is kind of interesting to see some of the building methods he comes up with when he’s being so ridiculously detail-oriented about a simple project like this.

Here’s how it all went down!.Chris set up all his stuff on the area of the driveway that used to be covered in mulch and extra topsoil for about the last three years.

We finally got that area cleaned up a few weeks ago so now I guess we have a new outdoor work space!.
