Home Chalkboard Walls: Creative or Just Tacky?

Personally, I think some of these ideas are awesome. But then again, I might grow tired of seeing a gigantic black chalkboard wall in my house day after day. What do you think? Interesting or a little tasteless?

I admit, I’m a huge fan of the selected-area chalkboard art. These homes make use of chalk coverings on smaller areas that don’t require the timely upkeep of other designs.  It seems like the perfect dose of creative freedom, while still keeping a space practical and free from an overdose of chalk dust.

LOVE this door art! It’s an excellent way to leave notes for your family or roommates to catch on their way out.

Here, the black chalkboard wall is offset by contrasting white trim and white-and-gray checkerboard flooring. Without the bright colors and natural light, this room would certainly fall victim to severe depression.

So who votes for home chalkboard walls? I may need a little convincing.
