People are putting chalk paint on just about everything!
I've got to admit, I like the flat finish it gives to a surface and the ability to write on it just means that you can really add some imagination to different pieces of furniture and even walls around your house.
Here is a list of 21 different chalk paint furniture ideas from some of the best DIY'ers out there.
