I love to encourage my little girl to draw and be creative as much as possible.
I looked into those paper and markers that only work with each other….wow they would get expensive. Plus they’re about the size of printer paper. That’s not enough space for a little girl to let her imagination run wild! She needs a BIG canvas.
So a couple of weeks ago my husband came home with this dingy crayon covered coffee table. Yuck! I will admit, it sat in the garage for a while before I realized what I would use it for.
After a day just hanging around the house I looked over at her sidewalk chalk and remembered how much she loves to decorate our driveway. Then it just hit me! Chalkboard table! What’s better is it’s something that she can grow with. I know she’s a toddler now, but when she’s in school this table would be perfect for notes, homework, reminders, the possibilities are endless!
Not to mention it will work with almost any decor depending on how you paint it.
I recently finished a table for mine and my husbands bedroom. We wanted something that would allow for a place to put a catch-all bowl for his boot blousers, loose change, and other stuff he may need. Military wives should be familiar with the boot blousers annoyingly laying anywhere and everywhere.
The table had to be small enough to not take up loads of space, but big enough to serve its purpose.
We found this beauty on Craigslist for $10.
