Use this DIY kitchen cabinet chalkboard tutorial idea to create a space for daily inspiration, functional reminders, or family messages.

The other day I was making coffee for a large group of people and as I searched the internet for the correct conversions again I had the thought that I should write these down inside the coffee bar cabinet.


Then I figured that since I was creating a chalkboard inside one cabinet I should do a couple of them.


Scroll to check out the tutorial, and get a couple of chalkboard ideas for your cabinets!

After

For a coffee cabinet, consider writing down the water to coffee conversions, or your favorite coffee quote.

Write one of your favorite quotes inside a frequently opened kitchen cabinet.

From the moment I heard this line from the new “Cinderella”, it became one of my favorites.


Have courage and be kind. For where there is kindness there is goodness, and where there is goodness there is magic.

Write medicine dosages on the inside of a medicine cabinet.

    I have not done much with Chalkboard paint yet but want to. Can you tell me what you prime with and do you use a sealant at the end?

    I’m allergic to chalk dust, can I use chalkboard markers on this painted cabinet?

    I take a perverse kind of comfort knowing that I am not the only one who cannot remember conversion numbers! I will definitely do this. Thank you for sharing!!
