We'll often find messages from our guests and it better than having a magazine in there. We also found that the back of the loo door was the best place to put a calander Today is under construction. Thank you for understanding.

I love the idea of the toilet wall, although I'm not sure I'd like to touch the chalk... How do you make your own chalk paint? Built the Seaview 36 with Rawson Homes - Read about it on my blog http://lamaisondemorgan.blogspot.com.au/ Re: Chalk paint... 8Jan 28, 2013 6:23 pm I plan to use liquid chalk pen - no dust! To make your own 1 cup paint + 2 TBS in sanded tile grout I've seen coloured ones at masters but if you want choose your own paint colour (dulux or something) its handy. The Hudson ones look good!
