You want to refresh your kitchen by giving it a bistro feel -chic ?
Add a brasserie-style blackboard.
It's a good excuse to doodle on the walls as an adult.
And it's very convenient for marking the shopping list or leaving little messages for the family.
But no need to buy one!
Just do it yourself. Don't worry, it's easy. Watch:
- painter's tape
- chalkboard effect paint or slate paint.
You can take ferromagnetic paint, which is more expensive but has the advantage of being magnetic.
Note: choose the quantity according to the surface to be covered.
250 ml is enough to make a small painting, knowing that several coats are necessary.
- a brush or paint roller
- primer paint
- sandpaper
1. Prepare the surface of your board by sanding summarily using sandpaper.
2. Put on a coat of primer . Apply this coat of primer in the delimited area.
3. Let dry overnight.
4. Then gently apply, preferably with a roller, a first coat of your slate paint or ferromagnetic.
5. Let dry , which can take up to one night.
6. Finally, apply a second coat (a third may sometimes be necessary).
And there you have it, you have made your own bistro-style blackboard for your kitchen.
It's easy isn't it?
You see, you don't need to be an experienced handyman to make this homemade painting!
There's nothing stopping you from embellishing this bistro-style blackboard even further by creating an original frame, in driftwood for example.
Once everything is dry, step back and enjoy the new bistro-chic style of your kitchen!
