  Step 1

  One of the best ways you can maximize a small space is to paint a chalkboard right onto the wall. If put in an entryway, it is a great place to leave notes and messages.

  Begin by taping out the area you would like to be your new chalkboard.

  Step 2

  Using chalkboard paint, fill in the area inside. To get a nice smooth finish, use a roller to apply on the chalkboard paint.

  Step 3

  To make your chalkboard look a little a little better, add a frame around the chalkboard paint. Draw out the style and size of frame you want before painting it in.

• 

  Step 4

  Add a little faux wood grain to the frame by lightly painting on lines of Antiquing Glaze. The glaze will dry fairly translucent and give the frame some depth and character.

  Step 5

  To finish off your chalkboard, don't forget to season it before writing anything on it. By rubbing a piece of chalk (on its side) all over the board, you will prevent leaving permanent marks on the board when you begin to write on it.
