Chalkboard Wall Inspiration

This post has very little to do with sewing, but I've gotten a few questions about my chalkboard wall, so I figured I'd put this post out there in case anyone is interested!
​

The house we've been renting since August came to us with a chalkboard painted on one of the dining room walls. I was super excited about it, and I've been having a lot of fun creating chalk murals that coordinate with the seasons.
​

I've now made 3 different drawings, one for Halloween, one for Christmas, and one for the new year. I love scrolling through pinterest to get ideas and I will often combine elements from several different pins to come up with what I want to draw. I should post photos of my inspiration pics to give them their credit, but honestly it's been so long ago now that I don't remember if I even saved them on pinterest. I'll try to remember for next time.

Halloween:

This first wall mural was prompted by my need for a good photo backdrop for my partnership with Eversewn. You can see tons more photos of it in this post here.

Christmas:

As you can see from the photo above, my original idea involved drawing a cute little cityscape at the bottom of the mural. But Finn decided to take over, erase mine, and create his own drawing. So I simply gave up on that one.

New Year:

This might be my favorite one yet. I drew it up for the new year, but honestly it is still up on my wall today. I love this quote (I believe the original quote says "nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels", but I'm drawn more towards a goal of athletic ability than body type, so I switched it up). I love the mountains and the trees as well, because it makes me feel like my fitness journey is an adventure, not a chore. And it helps me to try to switch my eating mindset from "what tastes good?" to "what is best to fuel my body?". Sometimes.
