If you don’t have a fireplace a clever solution is to create a DIY faux mantel wall hanging comprised of chalkboard paint. This one was designed by Brian Patrick Flynn, but you can also create the same effect by picking up supplies from your local hardware store (drop cloth, drapery hardware and chalkboard paint). You can also just hang a piece of chalkboard that is the size of a fireplace on your wall, up to 48″ x 32″.
