Chalkboard wall in the home office/craft room.

A shelf holds pails with supplies like chalk and erasers while a curtain rod holds a roll of craft paper that I cut off to cover my craft table when working on a project.

DIY Sunburst mirror is a great touch to the wall.

A stool sits at the wall to use if you need to write on the wall in an area that is out of reach.

A Chalkboard wall allows you to make notes and keep track of upcoming events and dates.

A chalkboard wall is a great addition to a craft room!

I did a chalkboard picture frame. I used an old 10x14 frame I no longer wanted for photos. This was more useful for me since I could change my mind and place the frame wherever I needed it. Love your office!
