A few years ago chalkboard paint was a cool, new idea.  Allow your kids to express their creativity without indelible results!  But after the initial novelty wore off you were stuck with a green or black wall and a heck of a lot of dust.  That’s why chalkboards have fallen by the wayside in most schools and been replaced with the whiteboards you see in offices.  You can write smooth as silk and really get your inner Picasso going with a wide array of colored markers.

Well, now you can do the same thing on any wall in your home.  Idea Paint is an innovative new finish that makes any wall into a white board.  It recently won awards for Innovation, Best Wall Treatment and Unique Solutions at NeoCon, the largest trade show for interior design in North America.  It is being used in offices, schools and residential projects.  The thing I love about it is that it invites collaboration.  I know you can type at lightening speed on your Blackberry but have you ever had the pleasure of seeing a piece of art or an idea come together with a group?  It’s definitely one of those situations where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. 

I firmly believe that allowing your creativity to flow in even the smallest way releases a bit of the stress that builds up each day from multiple responsibilities, snarled traffic and not enough yummy chocolate.  Personally, I would love to paint a wall in my home office to organize my overflowing supply of ideas.  Add one in the kitchen to keep track of the groceries (or lack there of).  Pick a spot in your home for some Idea Paint, it might open up a whole new world.
