Wall paint advice

9 år siden

We are updating our kitchen, starting with patching plaster walls and then painting. I want to paint one wall with chalk board paint, but can't decide which wall to choose. I have my choice narrowed down between two walls. The wall with the light switch (first photo) faces the kitchen, which I like, but then I think I would have to paint the drywalled beam that runs parallel into it because it would look odd to paint a dividing line. I can choose the wall that the beam runs perpendicular (second photo) into, but that wall faces the living room and I don't really want to see my grocery list and kids doodles from the living room. Any advice?

I would pick an area on the wall (not the entire wall) that you would like to use for your chalkboard. Install a basecap border (like a picture frame) around that area (basecap is a small piece of trimwork). Caulk the basecap to the wall and paint it your trim color. paint the inside of the area with the chalkboard paint.

Before you do that, you might buy some black poster board just cover that wall with it for a few days to see what you think. If I were doing it I'd put trim around the kitchen and living room sides of that big opening and paint all of it on the kitchen side - above it and on the right side if there is one.

Paint the stick out wall.

Instead of using regular flat paint, you should use some Venetian plaster that we propose to enrich the look of your kitchen.

I'm not a huge fan of a large space for chalkboard. Chalk is MESSY! Think back to your old school days!

I would paint the wall inside the kitchen. I believe you answered that when you said you didn't want to see it from the living room. :) I think the above idea for making a large frame out of trim could work fine in that spot. My question is... if you're not wanting a frame, then what is to the right side of the opening? (kitchen side?)

PS I really like your idea, I think it can look very cool! ;)
