ideapaint :: great idea!
I love the idea of chalkboard paint. Doodling thoughts as they strike – brainstorming as a team – making checklists – an entire wall’s worth of chalkboard space would be great for these very uses. But, there’s a problem: chalk makes me squeamish. Seriously. It’s a texture thing. Even thinking about using chalk makes my skin crawl.
Having this affliction, I was incredibly excited to discover (via the How blog) that there is a delightfully non-icky alternative: IdeaPaint! Using IdeaPaint, you can turn any wall, door, desk, or other surface into a whiteboard surface. I LOVE this and will immediately commence convincing Jonathan that we need to paint one of the walls in our office with this stuff. Increased productivity, here I come!
{oh, and…the packaging is pretty cool too!}

I totally get you on the texture thing. Chalk is dry and blechy! And the sound… Oh, the sound…
Great find!

i am so happy that you’ve shared this!!! i have always hated the idea of chalk dust everywhere, and of how it doesn’t really ever fully erase, and of how dark the paints are (black, green…). but I love this!
what a cool product. i also love the idea of chalk but can’t stand to think of chalk dust floating around. the new hotel in paris, mama shelter, looks like it has an entire room of walls painted with blackboard paint. I think idea paint is better.
