This is awesome. What are the corks for? -
What did you use to replace or laminate over the panels so you could write on it? -
The corks are for a corkboard. So you can tac notes and things up. -
Sawhorse...you can buy chalkboard paint. You spray it on and you have a chalkboard. -
I would imagine the corks make a bulletin board for tacks. This is a cool idea.

Is the section on the right chalkboard? It looked like dry erase. The center looked more like chalkboard.

Hi Sawhorse! Yes, the panel on the right is like a dry erase board. I found the door with the four window panels intact. If you just paint behind the glass it gives it a nice background and you can use a dry erase marker right on the glass. :) -
Hi Charlie- you can definitely buy chalkboard paint, but i found a way to make my own so I could customize the color. If you ever want to try it I explain how here. :) http://www.thespacebetweenblog.net/2012/04/2...

Hi Miriam and Todd! Yes the corks are for a cork board, but I need more to fill up the whole panel. I'm taking volunteers to come visit me in Curaçao and help drink some wine. ;)

GREAT IDEA FOR THE GARAGE!!! You can use paint you find at wal-mart to write on just use the kind the use for chalk boards! -
WHERE CAN I GET CHALKBOARD ? -
Hi Carol - I show you how to make your own chalkboard paint in any color here. http://www.thespacebetweenblog.net/2012/04/...

What a great idea -
What other material could the chalk board paint be applied to? Wood? I imagine it would have to be pretty smooth whatever it is. -
Petal Pushers! First, I'm originally from ME too!! Gorham to be exact, my whole family still lives in the area. I heart ME. :) And to answer your question, I can't imagine any surface you couldn't use this on. I do think you'd want to sand down a previously painted wall. But I'm actually going to try it on driftwood tomorrow, I would think it would work on wood, drywall, plaster. But, just to be clear, I haven't tried it so don't know for sure. Please let me know if you try it. :)
