Our favorite projects involve taking something we've got lying around and making it our own. The easiest way to do that? Chalkboard paint. You literally just have to slap a couple coats of the stuff on pretty much anything from furniture to walls to an old TV set (yes, that's a thing), and you've elevated it from plain-Jane to a craft with limitless design potential. And if you don't like your chalk creations, no sweat. You can always erase and try again. And again. And again.
