Home Decor:
In my kitchen I have space above the built-in cabinets which is mostly empty. One of the people I live with found a black metal birdcage, which take up about 20%ish of the space available. Here is a terribly grainy photo of the space:
I'm thinking about including one or more of the following to fill up the rest of the space:

Not the most inspiring thing to look at
I'm thinking about including one or more of the following to fill up the rest of the space:
- Large wooden letters spelling out "Create", "Dream", "Imagine", "Conquer" or something else.
- Chalkboard made of plywood covered in store bought chalkboard paint
- Vintage Scales
- Clear Glass Things
- Long slender oil painting and a clock next to it.
- Graphic print fabric mounted on a board
- Pitchers
- Globe
- A row of books of the same color
- Small scale chairs or bikes in black metal
- Vintage signage
- Wooden Boxes
- Large black and white photo
Portable Chalkboard Building Instructions:
- Cut a thin piece of plywood to fit inside a picture frame.
- Paint one side of the plywood with chalkboard paint.
- Remove the glass from the frame and slip the homemade chalkboard inside.
- Enjoy your analog iPad.
Note: chalkboard paint - should be about $15 per quart.
If any internet denizens have strong feelings I will try to make it happen and will post photos of the results. I make no promises as I want to keep the costs of this project down to a minimum and will have to rely on what home improvement stores and thrift shops have to offer.
Perhaps I could use the extra chalkboard paint to create something similar to this:
With a magnet glued to the back it could hang on the fridge
TL;DR: Just random thoughts on home decor and directions for making a portable chalkboard.
