Get Creative with IdeaPaint :: Giveaway (Ends 2/10) #DIY

Let me start out this review by saying, I am a dry erase addict. When we moved (and until just recently) my dry erase board was removed and never put back. It was always on my refrigerator and now that my fridge is no-longer magnetic (and we are slow at getting things on the wall) my life has been in utter chaos. I need my dry erase board! When I had the opportunity to feature IdeaPaint, I immediately put my creative mind to work and decided I was going to make a more decorative Dry Erase board for my new home.

What I did was find a size board I wanted to use - something with a very smooth surface so I didn't have to do any sanding. I then picked out trim I liked and my husband cut it to look like a picture frame, and I painted it the color I wanted. Then came IdeaPaint - I painted it on the board as they suggested, in a well ventilated area and applied liberally. It comes with two cans you mix together (very easy) and a roller to roll it on with. You do need something to put the roller on and a container for the paint (of course). I then started rolling .. and I do recommend putting it on liberally like they say .. not using it before I wasn't exactly sure how thick I wanted it, but you want it fairly thick so it's a smoother surface to write on and wipes away easier. I have a few spots on my board that weren't quite as thick and though it works fine, it doesn't wipe away as easy or write as smooth. After I painted you must let it dry for seven days before writing. Once I waited the seven days we put the trim on the board, I glued some flowers on the edge and it's now hanging on my wall and my life is back to normal!

IdeaPaint works just as well as they say it does and would be great for any creative work station - or what I did, my own personalized dry erase board.
