Magnetic paints are often used in children’s rooms. Your child can display decorative magnets, hang drawings and pictures, and use magnets to display anything he or she desires on the wall.
This same approach can be used in a kitchen or fam...ily room., this area can be used as a message center for the family. Magnets can be used to display pictures and drawings and notes. The board is often considered to be a better option than purchasing a message board that is hung on the wall using adhesive strips or nails and it is not obtrusive.

Whiteboard paint

Whiteboard paint is the versatile product that can be used in several different ways. The Whiteboard paint gives you a chance to express your ideas in the most cost effective of manners.
The Whiteboard paint is great to use in the meeting rooms, boardrooms, hospitals and any where in the house too.

If you’re a parent, you know how important it is for your children to be allowed to express themselves creatively and artistically. Imagine how content your child will be with a playroom or bedroom with an area he or she can write and draw on. Kids can create artwork, learn, and play

Chalkboard paint

Create a fun, functional chalkboard in any room of your home with paint that is erasable, washable, and durable enough to stand up to lots of little hands.


When you have chosen the area you would like to have your chalkboard
Using painters tape to mark off a desired shape for your chalkboard, and apply Chalkboard paint within the taped-off area.
You could use a decorative frame border to give your chalkboard space an extra personal touch.
· In children's rooms, be sure to make your chalkboard low and large enough so that younger children can reach and have ample space.
· In your office or study, paint a chalkboard, but remember a ledge for the chalk board erasers

Chalk boards have been widely replaced by plastic whiteboards, (we will have info on white boards in another topic) Still the old-fashioned chalkboard has its charm, and a hand-made one-of-a-kind chalkboard is certainly more of a decorating statement

Chalkboard paint will adhere to many surfaces; that allows you to create a chalkboard anywhere!




1. Smooth surfaces make the best chalkboards, so be sure to sand first, if the surface you want to paint is rough.
2. Clean the surface before painting to remove any grit or loose material.
3. Use paint tape to outline the boundary of the chalkboard. Press tape down firmly, over entire length, to ensure a crisp border.
4. If the surface is porous use primer first.
5. Apply the chalkboard paint evenly, with a sponge brush. Or foam roller
6. You may need to apply several coats. It is best to wait 24 hours before re-coating.

Fancy Framed Chalkboards
If you have any old framed pictures, put them to good
You can even use old frames that are empty. Paint a square of chalkboard onto the wall, just slightly larger than the open area within the frame. Then, after the paint dries and the tape is removed, securely mount your frame to the wall.
Cupboard and Pantry Doors
Paint the inside of a cupboard or pantry door with chalkboard paint. You can paint the entire surface, or if the door has a border, just paint the center section.
This is a good place to write down household reminders

Painters Tape

visit Rustic Painting & Decorating for more info.

 1. Surface Preparation - Make sure the surface is clean and dry

2. Applying tape - Painters' Tape should be applied to a smooth surface. If there are any bumps, the paint may seep under the tape.

3. Don't Stretch - Pull the tape off the roll a few feet at a time and press down a small area. Try not to stretch the tape. It is best to have as much stretch left in the tape as possible.

4. Press Smooth – When you have the tape in place, press along the edges of the tape to establish a flat, smooth contact with the surface

Removal of Tape:

1. Minimum Time – when you project has been painted, you should wait until the paint is dry to the touch, about 1 to 2 hours, before removing Painters' Tape. If you remove the tape while the paint is still wet, you may smudge the line.

2. Maximum Time - the sooner you remove it, the better.

3. Temperature - Tape is best removed in warm temperatures. If the temperature is too high, the adhesive may stick to the surface.

4. Removal Speed – It is best to pull the tape back over itself at steady pace. Excessive rate of removal may cause tearing.

Removing Painters Tape
Ideally the blue painters tape should be removed within 15 to 20 minutes
after applying the paint.
If you have failed to do this and left the tape on for days,
I have found success in using a hair dryer on the tape and gently pulling the tape
away at a 45 degree angle.

A decorative border or a stencil featuring ballet shoes in deeper pink and whites would help to bring this girl room theme idea together.
Plain blinds or shades could be topped with pink netting wrapped loosely around a curtain rod.



Any outgrown Ballerina outfits from your daughter could be framed and hung on the wall, or ballet shoes tied with pretty ribbon to display for decorative purposes.

Are your walls lacking pizzazz?

Try livening things up with a slight twist on a simple coat of paint. Whether it’s a hint of texture or a surprising graphic element, here are some modern paint ideas that are guaranteed to make your walls worthy of a second glance.
Colour blocking is effective for modern spaces, such as an open-concept house, but you can do it anywhere:,
Plan the spacing and arrangement of your shapes on paper, then draw them in pencil on your wall and outline them with painters’ tape.
Choose a colour that relates to something else in the space,
For example; a colour from a picture, or from your bed linen
"It’s a good way to add trendy colour and you can always paint over it later."

You could then Stencil shapes or a design onto the blocking.

Stencil technique never goes out of style,
Stencils add pizzazz to any wall and are a great alternative for accent or borders. Using stencils to paint your walls adds creativity, character and that extra personal touch to any space

 Using stencils to paint your walls adds creativity, character and that extra personal touch to any space. Create border pattern using one stencil or a variety of stencils to create your masterpiece.
Stencils can be applied with a brush, color with a variety sponges.
Let your imagination flow as you design and stencil each room.



If your stencil is located in a high traffic area, you may wish to apply a protective finish. Allow the stenciled area to dry for approximately 3-5 days. Then apply a water-based acrylic varnish
