last week anastasia at faiella design in san francisco sent in a great interior inspiration piece that featured a huge floor-to-ceiling mural based on a textile pattern. today anastasia is back with another great interior that uses one of my favorite things: chalkboard paint. sometimes chalkboard paint can skew a little messy and utilitarian, but this dining room proves it can look elegant and grown-up. though the dining furniture in the room isn’t really my favorite thing in the world, i think the chalkboard portion of the space (along with the bamboo-style cabinet) are really fantastic. i can’t tell exactly what’s written on the board, but it would be fun to write portions of your favorite poetry, or even text from your favorite food-related book. i’d love to write excerpts from an anthony bourdain book in fancy script, that would be a fun dining room to read.
