Jenn - magnetic paint

I'm amazed and wanted to share what I found.  Have you already gotten your supplies and made plans for your magnetic/chalk walls?

Re: Jenn - magnetic paint

  • We haven't purchased or started yet so those sites are really helpful. They use the magnetic and chalkboard paints a lot on Home Makeover and some of the other shows and I just know the girls would love it.
  • I wonder if it would help to talk to someone is paint.  Not so much the folks at Home Depot or Lowes, but maybe a paint store like Sherman Williams or others.

    I've emailed some questions to the lyt.com website, so I'll keep you posted.

    What shows?  Extreme makeover or similar?  Maybe I'll look it up there too.

    :-)

  • A friend of mine did the chalkboard paint in her first house.  It worked really well.  I've considered it in the preschool but I think it'll get banged up a ton and I don't know how well it would work long term.  It would be great in our art room though ... maybe magentic and/or whiteboard would be better.  My only concern is it does encourage writing on walls and that's usually considered a major no no.  So it has to be explained many many many times that the only place you do it is in that one area otherwise you will find it all over your walls. :)

  • Thanks again Kim.  I want something portable, hence the easel...in light of the no writing on walls issue.  Funny tho, I let the girls draw on rolled out wrapping paper tapped on the wall a month or so ago...it's never come down.  It's a new art piece in the living room.  Check out my facebook...LOL!
  • There are a lot of just plain wooden art easels for cheap that you could put this paint on too if you can't find what you're looking for at a reasonable price.

    Funny about the uniforms, I drove by another one and fondly thought of you.  LOL!
