DIY: Chalkboard Fridge
I love the chalkboard fridge idea from the Kid's Eye View: Kitchen story in your March/April '07 issue. How can I do this at home?
Follow these steps to convert a metal box into potential gallery space for your children:
1. Measure the refrigerator doors, making a note of handles or ice dispensers.
2. Have your home improvement center cut masonite panels following these dimensions.
3. Prime the panels and paint them with chalkboard paint. We like this brand.
4. Attach them to the outside of the doors. In most cases, magnetic tape should do the trick and will allow the panels to be easily removed once your kids have outgrown them.
But if all of this seems too committal, why not try one of these chalkboard decals?

Love the chalkboard on the fridge idea. By the way, the web site looks way better lately.
