It wipes clean with a paper towel, it isn’t dusty and if there’s aren’t notes on it (which may be hard to believe), it will still look like it is SUPPOSED to be there.
…off to cross “fill narrow wall” off my list. :)

Semihandmade
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.

Loloi
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.

STUGA
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

looking for inspiration?
A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]

Super creative, as usual. It’d be funny to draw a mustache on it right at Chris’ level.
Are you getting it? Huh? Huh?
how funny, i was going to suggest the same thing when i started reading. i did the same thing but printed my empty menu (labelled cute mon, tues,,etc) and put under the glass, then write on/wipe off on top of the glass like you. i love it but haven’t found the prefect frame yet. i need something ornate and old looking that i can slap a bright mod color on. now it’s just in a silver frame on a small wall in the kitchen with a couple other framed things.
i haven’t been into the chalk thing till i found this post on making colored chalk board paint.http://decorate.tipjunkie.com/how-to-make-chalkboard-paint-in-any-color-paint/ might do something in my kids’ room. maybe in the life-size sillouhette (i know i spelled that wrong- i’m just wondering how wrong) shape of my kids. i dunno. … thanks for your comment. p.s. your house is looking great!
I’ve always loved that mirror so I’m happy you found use for it!!!
Now…what to do with my weird mirror I took from my mom’s house….It may just sit and wait until we are in a bigger space.
