Like so many people, I've made a chalkboard out of an old piece of artwork and chalkboard paint.
Ours is small; it hangs right by the pantry. After I made it and hung it, though, I kept wondering: where do we keep the chalk and eraser?
Goodwill to the rescue! I was browsing the shelves at Goodwill and came upon a plate ledge for $1.28. I brought it home, painted it black, and voila! A home for the eraser.
If you look closely, you can see that the chalk nestles snugly in the indentation designed to hold a plate.

That is a great idea. I've been looking for a while for something to hold our whiteboard markers and eraser. Currently they're just in an old cup sitting on a nearby counter. Maybe I can find something like this too!
