Like so many people, I've made our family a chalkboard out of an old piece of artwork and chalkboard paint.
Ours is small; it hangs right by the pantry. After I made it and hung it, though, I kept wondering: where do we keep the chalk and eraser?
Goodwill to the rescue! I was browsing the shelves at Goodwill and came upon a plate ledge for $1.28. I brought it home, painted it black, and voila! A home for the eraser.
If you look closely, you can see that the chalk nestles snugly in the indentation designed to hold a plate.
It's not fancy, but it definitely works for me!

That is a great idea. I've been looking for a while for something to hold our whiteboard markers and eraser. Currently they're just in an old cup sitting on a nearby counter. Maybe I can find something like this too!

My chalk is in a drawer on the other side of the room. This is an ingenious idea!

Love this! Great tip... I'll have to make my own chalk board first, but then I'll start scouring thrift stores for a plate holder. Thanks!
