This large DIY chalkboard is so simple to make and, unlike most others out there, actually hangs on the wall like a piece of art.
Good morning friends!
Did y’all catch our lovely farmhouse style hallway reveal the other day?
After weeks of hard work, it feels so good to finally be done and of course, it was worth every hour (no matter how tedious or back breaking)!
I’ve shared all sorts of tutorials along the way including this farmhouse style trim and our gorgeous planked ceiling.
And now, it’s time to show you how we made this super simple large DIY chalkboard…
Just pop on over to AKA Design for all the details.
Wishing you SUCH a lovely day!
This is gorgeous, Kristi!
Thank you Amy!!!

Thanks Amy! Me too!!! 😉

Thank you SO, SO much Summer!
What a great chalkboard. I have one about this size that was original to the old schoolhouse I live in. I would love it if you came and linked this up at our Talk of the Town party!
You’re kidding, that sounds amazing!!! And thanks for the invite!
I am so glad I found this!! I am finishing up my office renovation, and this will be perfect to add to (maybe) keep me more organized. Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing!!
*I would absolutely love if you would join us over at the Monday Mish Mash Link Party!*

Hi, Kristi! Thank you so much for linking up with us!
Thanks Pili!!!
This is so so pretty! I love chalkboards and they are so cool anywhere, but this one turned out just perfect in your beautiful hall way Kristi! Thank you so much for linking up at Sweet Inspiration #1!! (popping over to AKA’s to find out how you made it now)
Thank you so, so much Katrin!!! I’m thrilled that you love it!
Love this!! Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
Thank you SO much Sherry!!!
Kristi your chalkboard looks great. Beautiful wood frame makes it all the more special. I had made one and I really cheated. I used the wall and just painted on it and then make a faux frame out of moulding. Lol Mine would be the Walmart version to yours. Thanks for linking up with us over at Sweet Inspiration.
Awwwww, well thanks Mary! That’s actually what I originally suggested to hubs, but he talked me into one that hangs on the wall and I absolutely love it!
That turned out great!! I did this years ago in my son’s toy room. He has a huge chalkboard on one wall! 🙂 Thank you for sharing with us at the #HomeMattersParty
I bet he absolutely loves it! My little guy was begging me to colour all over from the moment he saw it. 😉 Thanks so much Jamie!

This project adds such a beautiful texture to your hallway. I love the wreaths you added to it! Thanks for linking up at The Creative Circle (each week!). xoxo
Thank you SO much Kathy! It’s definitely a fun addition to the space!
I love this, Kristi! I really want to make a large chalkboard for a boring wall in my dining room so I will definitely be using your tutorial. Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday, you’re going to be my feature this week! Hope to see you again Sunday night!
How exciting! I’m thrilled that you loved it enough to share! And even more, that you’re feeling inspired to make one of your own too! Thanks so much Chelc!
This is so fantastic! I want to build this sometime this week. How thick is the board section?
SO happy you love it! We used 1/8th inch hardboard to make the chalkboard. Hope this helps!
Love this! Where did you find those cute wreaths and what size are they? Thanks so much!
Thanks Kristen! They are actually candle rings. I found them at a small local shop, but Amazon has a huge selection: http://amzn.to/2jtzoLg.
How thick was the MDF that you used?
I think it was 1/8″ thick.
