We first considered chalkboard paint, which undoubtedly would look amazing, but I hesitated due to the long-term impact on the wood.
Then Marilena found this fantastic option from Indigo. It is a 25" X 38" peel and stick chalkboard decal that is easily removed and repositioned. {This is an important feature. Just ask my husband.}At $17.50, the price was definitely budget-friendly. It has been worth every penny as a place to inspire creativity, create reminders and menus, leave love notes and share inspirational quotes. It is also a great distraction for a little someone who loves to follow me into the kitchen while I am cooking.
I clean it with a soft cloth on a regular basis and it looks great.
It has already sustained a hardly-noticeable scratch, and I'm not sure if it was from a toy, a hockey stick or a rough chalk corner. {The instructions and online reviews did warn us to smooth out chalk edges before using.}
