"Too much writing on the walls"--This House needs a Chalkboard Wall!

Wow, we built this new home and the walls are being destroyed with crayon and marker.  The kids are always trying to make their mark.  I tell my husband we need to add a chalkboard wall--he thinks I'm nuts...but I love the idea and the look!  So, I begged and begged him to let me paint one wall in the back entry way (right of our kitchen-shown above). Turns out, he loves it!  Go figure :)  I added a piece of metal to hang school notes and it turned out to be a fun place to doodle and hang notes--hope you like it!
