You can get this:
From this:
Lack Side Table |
“Where are you putting those?”
“Just trust me.”
I bought these Chalk Ink Markers and was excited to try them out to write out my notes.
I paired the tables with some .99 chalk from Target in order to complete the present. Now two lucky little ones are getting chalkboard tables from Tia!

What a nice Tia! I love buying things for our friend’s babies (it saves me from having them). This would be great to have for when they come over and play (and they look classy enough I’d use them as side tables when they were gone). I have a long hallway I want to cover in chalkboard paint but my husband just rolls his eyes at me.
