I had a lot of feedback from the last color quiz I wrote about.  Sooo…I just had to take another quickie quiz that I found on HGTV.com, ‘Find Your Color,’ which will supposedly help you create color schemes perfect for your home and personality.

Take the quiz here > > (Scroll midway down the page for the link)

What were your results?

Apparently, I am Warm & Vibrant!

“You are a sunny, energetic person who needs the same kind of colors surrounding you. Your ideal color palette consists of yellow, orange and red. Opt for deeper tones for a warm look and feel. Lighter, brighter tones produce vibrancy and stimulation.”

Harry also created an entire chalkboard wall in the children’s playroom (similar to the image, below) – a fun canvas to encourage creativity!  With a chalkboard wall, hopefully children won’t feel drawn to paint or color on your other walls!

Other ideas for chalkboard paint:

• IIn the kitchen, frame a chalkboard square on the wall with decorative molding or a colorful paint to display the day’s menu. This can be a great touch for special family meals and when entertaining guests.
• Kids love to draw on “forbidden” surfaces like tabletops or closet doors. Turn these surfaces into wondrous canvases with chalkboard paint and multicolored chalk–they’ll love it, and it’s easy to clean up.
• Personalize your coasters with chalkboard paint for just about any occasion. Use them as name cards at your dinner parties, draw storks on them for your best friend’s baby shower, or use magnetic tape to put them on your fridge as mini-blackboards. [Note: Be sure to prime the surface before painting.]
• Do you have to rummage through your storage bins every time you need to find something you put away? Problem solved: Just paint chalkboard squares on your bins and label them. It’s a great way to keep things organized. [Note: Be sure to prime the surface before painting.]
• A home office is the ideal spot for a family planner. Coat part of a wall with chalkboard paint and create four weeks’ worth of squares in a variety of chalk colors. Use it just like a regular planner for events, reminders, school schedules, and lots more.
• If you enjoy growing herbs indoors, paint terracotta planters with chalkboard paint and label them with chalk to keep track of exactly what’s growing where–from basil to mint. [Note: Be sure to prime the surface before painting.)Cheers!Jan
