New Ideas For Storage Solutions By Using Baskets

Baskets are storage workhorses. They provide easy organization solutions plus they're stylish and can add warmth to any room in the house.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPTONOFpBAi8bUZRnE7cDUWqFT1ld_tz9OE61iE8PBqt-8heohO0lw8G_bTcdVeE1T1PtgCYga9e6oVRNSzz871FAz-TfbM8_Nueg-ufDjnyzLrrcudenM-47yh3oc-yTTkx9Ac4sd/s640/Storage-Solutions-Using-Baskets-ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Grab a Seat</span> </b></span></div><br />Create an entryway bench from a coffee table, seat cushions, and a catchall basket. Use the basket to collect keys, mail, books, and other items that pile up by the door. The large basket gives the area a polished look without requiring a lot of organization from the homeowners.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3iPdeuLM28V9_G7hdqLKdL7q0n_VYqbsB6mg8SiIZfqazHp7lCOgZGJ9PsfHHkcO9bExJ5AyGc67cuR3EPrG2AnRMk_I5BksJOjhBndS-PFISLm4xc23BsmIlt30a88_3uEl3e40t/s640/Storage-Solutions-Using-Baskets-ideas-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b> <span class="heading2">Baskets in a Row</span> </b></span></div><br />Open shelves do more than create a fashionable presentation, they also ensure often-used items are easy to access. Identical baskets are perfect for organizing linens and other kitchen items.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-SLkWHLUS5gaHIn8aI01tLw-AHA-Lmw_g1sXp0E_yKv4Hv8U_IitmYMP9vhL18tuXzq2YLWdawQ5HtgpAGhBGhPPXk3XizZxPq4H-YlkHnGx8eqLNzmmJQlpkIHBs-grXx5cSMb_c/s640/Storage-Solutions-Using-Baskets-ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Casual Style</span> </b></span></div><br />Woven side chairs, a slipcovered sofa, and crisp white draperies give this living room a casual look. Baskets round out the decor by repeating the texture from the side chairs and bamboo shades. The baskets also add storage to the coffee table.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj92iPLFYX2_mLKk_FSTUf5Als9LjUX8YmzmPfP6DD6YSFLUJpopeaGIDJ-lwDQoXUdyARw3wYsPADe-Ls9rX4fEzB8YYgVTg2nn3ZSUurr8d0WPOfqq2HZr1slGyIl4VsolmdkrM9h/s640/Storage-Solutions-Using-Baskets-ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Underbed Storage</span> </b></span></div><br />Create an instant linen closet with a large woven basket. Stack sheets, pillowcases, and extra blankets in lidded baskets that you can stash under the bed. Prevent scratching floors or snagging carpets by adding stick-on furniture sliders.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipYTlfM-WaBCGhUDUpv3wGhq7KxsDa23lSNehUg0dzGiSc1b_1h4a6LIEss68Ny44yx9cXtBsn3zHFgzX9qKVCt4Q4is27agU8qSxm0yBjvDmq4cMgQQhDLq7ai0Fg2zTtc0_7hpPn/s640/Storage-Solutions-Using-Baskets-ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Task-It Baskets</span> </b></span></div><br />Organize household files with flair by trading a clunky metal file cabinet for a woven lidded chest. Be sure the basket's inside measurements will fit your letter- or legal-size files. The interior measurement of this chest is 12x12 inches. To securely hang letter or legal-size files inside, add an adjustable hanging file frame from an office supply store.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSR3GR2hAxim6eY_td4wm5w6G95D_IghESwqx-TKsp-ksN_-1cZGzeYiriVSOIrf_mP-o5VBwd80ua_WEyJSKqvjjeV-C_y7NKJjD_SPabhFhCL_NXLVo8WlEq34b1GfbAJI8Yr_ED/s640/Storage-Solutions-Using-Baskets-ideas-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Control Station</span></b></span></div><br />Corral coffee table runaways with a basket organizer. This simple basket is stylish enough to sit out on the table and it keeps everything in one spot so when you want to change the channel, you'll always know where to find the remote. Look for a basket with compartments, like a utensil organizing basket.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCPaMs4G70KdicFqg7KBHejj42f4VOhRAx5vHmE4YZtp5BNTN6Ophl69iuYhWlec9dCIL30sqBokCKfysuiqkuAqrBxlBs2f0kVJl-RR3xsfQj-CQu7I5eNt-X6j4pg1hNadCjLWuy/s640/Storage-Solutions-Using-Baskets-ideas-12.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Kitchen Counter Basket</span></b></span></div><br />Use a shallow basket to organize cooking oils and spices. Line the bottom of the basket with a metal cookie sheet to making cleaning up inevitable spills easier<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEior7fSPz_j4DON5u4iJkuE1tf05bkb3mbUKuKqXSWG3pVZnN5oPqsQSaguaEHC-Gp0X5VSploMgkWn1IpEFatnNsd8z0xXS1cB7AtDWheeOOLe3eBNhLJQiJLDEvCqwfka1EBvzOMh/s640/Storage-Solutions-Using-Baskets-ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b> <span class="heading2">Kitchen Helper</span> </b></span></div><br />Baskets can be helpful for organizing kitchen supplies. Place a basket with handles on a pull-out drawer for easy access to contents. Use one basket for different kinds of tea and another for baking supplies.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCD_MQihU7k05UA-4FZsuCR-BepffQgzNN6kOP68sV3P30ejBrUsspWOIzp0TC7VQKqnA-34eOX-A9gPRwmq2wOm61VJFL3BNj7HLfRm8SJ831tUBh1mqabXLSNT1x9FVpuSIbvfka/s640/Storage-Solutions-Using-Baskets-ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Wall Decor</span> </b></span></div><br />Baskets can be part of your wall decor. In this bathroom, a wire basket adds architectural interest and towel storage above the toilet.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNfQunmZrqJ3W4aMWYG1D6OiYSDUulKblbA4g9eBOm6zZ77ZIwVUszvl_iAMk5-CD16S_LTIQXhQW6jfAscBiXDmaiD5mzOfh52c6Qbv2RoWODYp7WMYeeCrBF94FaOO-FeD57fsiz/s640/Storage-Solutions-Using-Baskets-ideas.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Storage Meets Decor</span></b></span></div><br />In the bathroom, storage solutions are often part of the display. Matching woven white baskets hold supplies and coordinate with the bathroom's color palette. X-shape open shelves and glass-front cabinet doors add architectural interest to the vertical storage.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3db0sIjO8J5BEQhYiGK2rGALGTpYfb-XTn63eIR3Z66MWITbrp6lBlhrEHdQte-gz48iqNTV8MVWUospLTD30338KuMlMByeJQ1EJ0sY56vdQCNy87gqgHfNwHxuy4QWFpgy6J4jS/s640/Storage-Solutions-Using-Baskets-ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Tidy Shelves</span></b></span></div><br />Keep your bookshelves in check with baskets and bins. Use baskets to corral loose items, such as fabric samples, paint swatches, and project folders. Add labels to each basket to identify its contents and give your shelves more personality. To make labels, attach gift tags to each basket with ribbon and use rub-on alphabet decals.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc3xKjDZUeRWfKuOpVv4BPhTWMBBdQ6aBxQDR8TcyoqaBN2dexl-w607rmNOHLwR95Sfg-wFR1tyeU32K8kvGF5w3rDKXIFN576LU_gPl1mlnEnoYqVhcr4hGNhM8N3l-5u0_SF4v8/s640/Storage-Solutions-Using-Baskets-ideas-11.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Hamper Basket</span></b></span></div><br />Does throwing bed pillows on the floor every night make you cringe? Toss pillows in a wicker hamper at bedtime to help keep them clean and off the floor.

Pull out the lower table when you need an extra surface for holding drinks or reading material, then tuck it away when you're done. On the lower shelf, a stylish fabric covered bin keeps DVDs accessible but contained.</span></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2EamtZ93QLBZbQYAh3KznvhhdZksFja135sC0LKKByOdR-AUDAOMsBkXNtteLPhrHfmLfp6bk51-3RMJt6q6Fz54UYXD50UjL-BPJ3AbqEbEb-ld4CVt8ZH9t27jHqrb_c3kMdFwyTN0/s1600/Elegant-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-with-Budget-2.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Set a casual, family friendly mood for meal times by mixing and matching chair styles. In this dining room, a bench accommodates multiple people and takes up less space than a group of individual chairs. The pieces around the table can easily segue into the living room for hosting a crowd. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKvJtfRAlG-TJnLlYJ3qTUrcpqfdOdDrAaaBYxugbaWKEAwrLlEO-Cx6QfePLqA6RHm_S01SMW5dULPV-wxJMKkbIqgwrynkAxiRLjK9RIQEduCXxRTexn0n0ZkFrSmVUhrUEZgdEnmj8/s1600/Elegant-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-with-Budget-3.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In an open living room, create subtle division with a shelving unit. This floor to ceiling bookshelf separates the open floor plan into two distinct rooms while offering ample display space. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC9U51Iijohn928uKMH814_gnBGwrFHkKXf-GMGmZfjLidvAzXa2u5LA3hjpMQH0KgBqGqry3JLutVM5vgjidEB-tV6CibmIlJhImRRjkuF3z6j-b3Gyzrwv7bYdgYBP1BOuRludL7j_4/s1600/Elegant-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-with-Budget-4.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Transform the often-unused space at the top of the stairs into a destination. Built in bench seating capitalizes on the sunny window of this second floor landing, creating a cozy reading retreat. Divided compartments under the bench cushion provide clever storage for reading material. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiebodjTxQrDbAQsqw68lKAza5mfIYuMDTmE77JVnRpmihn9rvApEjZJyBTq1HHjXDQE9zbONHtKcfxG7oEsof-g9wFWchVRrmJXoklroe51M9bZDSxk7RrsCo8siUlgVxcehsF2slCXbw/s1600/Elegant-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-with-Budget-5.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This bedroom uses the space under the bed for storage. But, rather than allowing that space to become a tangle of stuff, well made drawers with dividers keep clothes neat. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGcvSp_z-XQ5HQYh6mXGmVtQgI5kbQl4iFf7ac1AhlC9agEO-HWyRDx5dwxojzbQfgCUVXtYrCOWb7SLTzzj0RFymvD5zghIADJD3A0SmLmk6V4nkb2e_Ho3v_GZ-HqE0KNGQ6O7nVOZ0/s1600/Elegant-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-with-Budget-6.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Most people slap a coat of white paint onto their ceiling and call it quits, but creative use of the space can reap room enlarging results. A beamed ceiling takes this room to new heights, while board and batten paneling adds substance to the room's sherbet color palette. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7VAiZgTi1B0ymKsEubo-ZCS-UwpwoOUVw2o7i-bw3VtpPwBDW-r3cDIiwtevzONVLn2I0DkudEUCW1ohLw0wVtmftyy9FckM06HLpHxj7-G9MpOnToJPtctKRxujNTBvLKT5itiB_VWI/s1600/Elegant-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-with-Budget-7.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Turn a closet or nook into a work zone. In this space, drapery panels slide along a curtain rod to make it easy to conceal the clutter. Even without an architectural niche or bay, you can duplicate this effect by curtaining off an area across the width of a room just hang the drapes from a rod or thin wire suspended from the ceiling. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKd92IDjSHhpZAjCT_zKytxZoCLomybpY-Jn5egk32HrBciZmDeO3G1xdQ6shb_9aA75fjbb6kS0nrXhZbpSN_hjxfK8zLtkS8bS3CoKBGaV-UPiiz7dt2IbiDDMC5rYc98_Cq6eYNv3c/s1600/Elegant-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-with-Budget-8.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Opting for a narrow, shallow refrigerator netted more counter and shelf space in this compact kitchen. A tall cabinet with a mix of shelves and deep drawers maximizes storage space. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCHnXq7pUlq6zkfwfc_AvTaGbYvNGeoOzsD9I1_rlyn5XYsr0mt55qzm3d40NYiDnOZXmOOcX4X3-7AWbJpVmkc-Ji2YTM8Fdg13TCtDamoEQEsFR3tSGt3Wg5LC8iFZdjSDJtIzzPQjk/s1600/Elegant-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-with-Budget-9.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Get big style from a small space through careful design. Tall cabinets stretch to the ceiling, and a mixture of light woods and reflective stainless steel keeps the space clean and open. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiylNJnn0cs1uZztWBXjoCbZs3tO8zYl6kxK7wxF25IGF04LuNGsxQV8gj0IWaTu_VaTSVeurhnZvvGANoqSxQdyqWwrf76A06UQ1Jp0j_GxDO78Efm0OUNR3VYZzNPw83VkQL3zybYnHk/s1600/Elegant-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-with-Budget-10.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Reclaim wasted space under a staircase for storage. Wide-trim molding turns these staggered shelves into a strong architectural feature. Baskets add eye pleasing texture as they keep linens and other kitchen odds and ends corralled. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>

(If the platter has a central oval edge, you have a built-in guideline.) Use a steady hand and a small brush to stroke chalkboard paint inside the edges of the guideline. Roll the center with chalkboard paint using a small smooth-surface foam roller.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSVZ8itNjk7uUwJ5L1i-RwMA9aD44b9yUSYiiITIy4rtKfXowM7kBpuGNLVyoAbjpHTsmGZ-Fwce54yb7pcf2SV6YAUk5GjqzOJiDzeLh28pzThD8HD_aW_B5i_bmmB72K9WB6yg8a/s640/Chalkboard-Projects-ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Vanity Lesson</span></b></span></div><br />Turn an old medicine cabinet into a sweet spot for lists and notes. First, remove the mirror or inner panel. (If you can't remove the mirror or panel, cute a piece of chipboard to fit.) Paint the mirror or your chipboard piece with two coats of chalkboard paint, allowing each coat to dry between applications. Tip: If you use a mirror, prime the surface first. Pop the mirror back in, or use Krazy Glue to secure the chipboard cutout in place. Use chalk to spell out the day's duties.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkXSByOzkqc-e5Bc6SGlwdDUDQnfu4jUwklwOJn8_GTv5pUpF3TRmMaTovU4F5rCKfJZXXPiZ8gYQlN5YGmaQpZqbAWG40rzN5GH9TPOwhA50qOySE3eQ-1t8Ir3_L34xSHZJkBHwl/s640/Chalkboard-Projects-ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Scheduling Pains</span></b></span></div><br />Transform a six-panel window into a home office calendar to ease your planning pains. Each day of the workweek is assigned a frame, and the sixth makes room for extra notes or magnets. Tape off the wooden frame with painter's tape. To make your calendar magnetic, spray several coats of magnetic spray paint on the front of the glass, allowing each coat to dry between applications. Then paint each pane with chalkboard paint using a paintbrush to edge and a small foam roller for smooth surfaces.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUIGFqamj579VDcZWoJCgjX_DIKoZsxwybMWCzatDy_bDwJ7GRa7eDWdzXxQgfF4-wgQ16LLw_30R9BPiVGpGWY-m30E884QpaW6appWIm_Q9HT4Dro70qydoe2yLhJmnzNtKc3Ti6/s640/Chalkboard-Projects-ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Clever Containers</span></b></span></div><br />Add a little erasable oomph to your kitchen canisters with repositionable vinyl stickers that accept chalk marks (check <i>dickblick.com</i> and <i>wallies.com</i> for colorful options). Use a punch to cut out the labels. Remove the paper backing and position the label on the glass or wooden canister. The labels are easy to rechalk as you change their contents.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfV5F1eoWYP4wPqsTtjUKxUK6aY9Gv2iKumTyNLeVY8I2l8hznVm-DMb-I0AlArZKwQGe77DofValtbpC82vtvd1ZtyLqgqP_10fu_aPU7Dz2TMGTFuAm-BTuTgwcJlXgOtCr4x84P/s640/Chalkboard-Projects-ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Mix it Up</span></b></span></div><br />You can find chalkboard paint at almost any crafts or art store or home center. But if you're longing for a hue that's not available on store shelves, concoct your own. To create your own custom color of chalk-ready paint, simply combine 1 cup latex paint in your desired shade with 2 tablespoons of unsanded tile grout. Use a paint stirrer to mix. During application, gently sand the dry layers of paint between coats with 150-grit sandpaper. Apply several coats for best color.
