Hello friends! I’m so excited to share my new chalkboard heart message board.
After looking at pictures like this, this and this- I really had an itch to get some chalkboard paint for our kitchen. I was sure I didn’t want to do a whole wall, but was debating if I should paint a spot on our wall or if I should get a chalkboard frame. Well, a few weeks ago, I received an e-mail from Samantha of Trading Phrases offering me an opportunity to review their products.
I had seen vinyl lettering and designs for walls in home tours on different blogs, but it had never occurred to me that a company might offer chalkboard designs.
After browsing the Trading Phrases website, I was thrilled to discover they offer a chalkboard category and I immediately chose the heart chalkboard vinyl.
The chalkboard heart arrived in a tube with one promotional design, a practice design, a plastic spatula shaped tool to help burnish the design and detailed instructions.
Putting it up was super easy. The whole process took maybe 12 minutes (and that is only because I took my time measuring where I wanted to place it on the wall) I was very happy to see that the vinyl is thin and so it doesn’t look bulky and doesn’t stick out. In fact, it kind of looks like I painted a chalkboard heart on my wall!
I started using chalk on it right away- I wiped it clean with a slightly wet cloth and it looks good as new every time.
Please excuse my messy handwriting- the only chalk I had on hand came from the dollar bin at Target and I think the giant sticks are more suitable for sidewalk doodles.
I will be buying some smaller ones with smaller tips, I think those will give me better control.
I can’t explain how ridiculously excited I am to have this up on our wall. I can leave messages for my husband, write important to do lists, or even use it as a scoreboard when our friends come over for game night!
Oh and I have good news for you too- Trading Phrases will be offering a giveaway to one of my readers! I will post all of the details for the giveaway on Monday morning so please check back.
Have a great day!

Terrific review and no-mess product. I hated the idea of buying a pint of paint and using only a fraction of it. This is perfect!
Thank you :) This was definitely such a great alternative to using chalkboard paint. They also have a scroll chalkboard vinyl that I liked.
Wow, that's really cool Maria! Thanks for sharing that.
neato meato! that is great fun.
I am totally freaking out about this. Can't wait for the giveaway!
Very Very cute! Thanks for sharing
