Do you ever get tired of looking at the same thing on your wall? I do, especially when what is on the wall never looked exactly like I wanted. So, over the break, I took a few minutes to redesign this wall in my kitchen. A new dry erase calendar and mini chalkboards balanced with some black and white photos from my recent trip to NYC. I’m pleased with the outcome!

The calendar is just a frame I got half price at Hobby Lobby. I turned around the paper insert and used double sided tape to attach a variety of paint chips I trimmed. I alternated the paint chips between horizontal and vertical for a bit more of a stylized look, but I bet it would look great either way! Then, I just inserted the paper back in, and my calendar was finished! I use dry erase markers to add events. Just a little bit of erasing and it will be ready to go again next month.

The chalkboards came with natural wood frames, so I just quickly threw on some black paint, and they were finished.

I’m very pleased with the result! The small pop of green is just enough for my kitchen. Yay for new years and new decorations!
