Chalkboard Walls

Check out these great images of Chalkboard walls I found on the blog Strawberry Chic. I love this trend and think its a wonderful idea! But is it always functional?

My favorite would have to be the kitchen and dining room images. I especially like the flower detail drawn on the dividing wall in image 7. But what about the bedroom? It looks cute and stylish but is it livable? I don't know about anyone else but I wouldn't want all that dust in my bedroom where I sleep. 

Chalkboard walls seem great especially for restaurants where the menu is constantly changing but in the home it could be a disaster. 

What does everyone else think? Do you like this trend?  

Cushion of the Week - #2

Its time for the Cushion of the Week. Check out this beautiful hand woven cushion by Sukan on Etsy.

All of the pillows are covered with an antique Kilim, a kind of rug made from wool and colored with natural dyes. The design above is one of my favorites on the site, consisting of Anatolian and Middle Eastern Patterns. I love the vibrant colours mixed with the traditional print.

Each cushion is unique so this is a great shop to check out if you are a sucker for one of a kind goods as I am. Click here to check it out and see all the designs for yourself.
