I've always been one for decorations and embellishments.  Why have something that's plain and boring looking, when with just a little effort, you can transform it into an instant conversation piece?  Appliance Art must have had this same idea in mind, because they've created a huge selection of innovative products designed to jazz up your boring old appliances.

Now, your refrigerator, dishwasher, etc. can change with your mood or with the seasons.  Recently, I had the chance to review the Instant Chalkboard Vinyl (Peel & Stick Roll) from Appliance Art.  Keep reading to learn more!

The refrigerator is usually the hub of all family communication, right?  In my house, the refrigerator is where my daughter displays her artwork, where our grocery list is held and where any important announcements, appointments or other notes are left.  So why resort to using just scraps of paper and a few magnets, when with just a little help from Appliance Art, your entire refrigerator could become a family messaging center!

Just check out the clip from Disney's "Good Luck Charlie", shown below.  With just a roll of instant chalkboard vinyl, the folks at Disney turned a plain double-door refrigerator into a completely interactive classic that no one will ever accidentally overlook.

This easy-to install instant chalkboard is a one-of-a-kind solution in your kitchen.  Feel free to pass each other phone messages, plan a menu, or make a grocery list with ease!   Just peel and stick and you are ready to go.  The measurements are 24" wide x 60" tall and is easily cut to any size you wish.  With this size roll, you could make one large display area or customize it into several smaller sections.  Feel free to go nuts all over your house!

Our refrigerator sits inside a large cabinet and one side of this wall has always struck me as boring and drab.  But now, I will be perking this section up and making it an extremely practical messaging center in my kitchen.  It's located right by our back door, which is just the right spot for leaving a quick note before heading out the door.

Of course, the teacher in me won't just put the instant chalkboard vinyl up and leave it alone.  :no-no:  I plan on getting some super cute border paper from a teacher supply store and making a custom edge around our new blackboard area so that it will really pop and be noticed!

I was very impressed with the quality of the chalkboard vinyl and the size you receive for the price.  This kit also comes with a smoothing tool and five pieces of colored chalk to get you started.  If you'd like to create a messaging center in your kitchen, either on your appliances, cabinets, walls or any other space you can think of, then I highly recommend the Instant Chalkboard Vinyl (Peel & Stick Roll) from Appliance Art.

I love it when I come across an innovative, inexpensive and practical item like this!  Now that's a winning combination!
