"Tell Me, Why Are You So Good To Me?" Art Wall: Done!

Once the frames were hung on the chalkboard wall and the paper template removed, all that was left to do was hand a stick of chalk to my husband.



Tell me, why are you so good to me?
~Roger Thornhill~


Do you recognize this quote?






Prior to painting a chalkboard wall to hang the art on, other solutions were considered for this feature wall. One was to hang wallpaper, another was to cover it with fabric. In the end I decided to go with chalkboard paint, mainly because this part of the Home Office Redesign needed to be inexpensive. There were also several pieces of art that could have been hung, some with much more color. But as all the images were laid out to edit through the options, it became clear that a limited color palette was needed to flow with the other elements in the room.



I'm very happy with the final look! Next...on to shelving, refinishing the cabinet and several other small details.

p.s. subway, typewriter and buddha photographs compliments of Mrs. Limestone. Thank you.
