This whimsical piece brings excitement and organization into any space. Notes to family, shelf labels, or a game of tic-tac-toe make the use of chalkboard paint a unique and functional element. With storage cubbies of all sizes and custom painted doors to hide little messes, everything (finally!) has it's place.
The color block style is a classic and everlasting look. Inspired by Mondrain's "Composition with Red Blue Yellow," this shelf shares the asymmetrical lines, strong contrasting colors, minimalist feel, and perfect balance (but rather than the flat primary colors, we brought in more electric colors).
The shelf started in great shape but needed a little something to make it more youthful as well as tie it in with a brightly colored little girl's room.

I cut the doors to size. Thanks to my friend Martha (Stewart), I did not have to buy gallons of chalkboard paint that would go to waste -- she has the perfect recipe for custom colored chalkboard paint and you can make as much or as little as you need!
