make your kid a chalkboard table

la apartment therapy recently featured a diy kid's chalkboard table which i thought was so practical yet so creative. i wished mom had thought of this while i was growing up. i would have gotten a lot less spanking from doodling on the wall.

anyways, my deprived childhood aside, with just a bucket of studio finishes chalkboard paint at $11.99 a bucket you can transform the ikea poang table into a kid artist friendly furniture. and since the poang comes in a set of 2, the van gogh wannabe's lil' sister can have her own canvas too. link.

  1. Chalkboad paint is awesome. It can also be found in spray cans if you're more comfortable with that. Home Depot carries some.

  4. We made one for my kids with the Svala children's table and 2 chairs, along with some stain and chalkboard paint. It turned out great and only cost around $50.
