the office

In my old office, I had this fabulously large chalkboard where I could write out all of my to-do lists. I like to-do lists. Actually, I like crossing things off to-do lists – it makes me feel productive. Sometimes I’ll write down something obvious just so that I can cross it off {like ‘eat breakfast’ or ‘pick up Ethan from bus’}.

Anyway

This chalkboard {salvaged from an old school} fit perfectly on the wall in my old office, but just couldn’t work in the new one.

So I went with the ever-popular chalkboard wall.

No. 2 and No. 3 helped ‘season’ it

and Audrey-girl watched

until it looked like this.

Then I wiped it down to give it that slightly old dusty look that we all love.

Today I’m finishing up this wall and can’t wait for the final results.

And, of course, crossing it off my to-do list.

  1. Wow, that will provide you with plenty of space to make great lists! I'm a list maker, myself - I could make lists of lists. :) I have a large white board on the wall in my office and different sets of tasks are written in different colors of dry erase markers. It just makes me feel good to see everything so organized, and like you, I love to be able to cross something off my list.
