I seriously love chalkboards. It's the teacher in me. You can keep your dry-erase boards. I prefer chalk.
Imagine my sheer delight when I bought my first can of chalkboard paint!!!!!! Through the years, I have scoured yard sales and thrift stores looking for fun things to make into a chalkboard. Suffice it to say, we have a gracious plenty mini-chalkboards in our learning room.
Earlier this summer, I scared My Hero slap to death. He came home one day to find me painting one side of our fridge BLACK. He was slightly...SLIGHTLY less frightened when I assured him it was not JUST black paint but CHALKBOARD paint! The ugly fridge is now a useful fridge! Still ugly. But useful and FUN!

I couldn't believe my eyes when I recently saw two wonderfully old chalkboards discarded by a local church! Who wouldn't want them????
This is the sweet old chalkboard that is still awaiting it's refurbishing.
It didn't take but a little bit of paint and a little bit of time to refurbish one of the sweet chalkboards to use in our newly organized learning room. (I kinda like learning room better than school room.)
Side by side.....before and after
(Look closely between the two and you'll see our Siamese peeking out.)
Here's the finished product hanging proudly on display!!!
