We made our fireplace into a chalkboard! This is our cheap fix before we replace the fireplace with a wood-burning insert. Whenever we made a fire ALL hot air would be immediately sucked out of the house and so we decided it wasn't very economical to have a fire. All we did was put a piece of particle board in the opening of the fireplace. We spray-foamed it in and waited for the foam to firm up. Then I took chalkboard spray paint and gave the board two coats. If you want to do this I would suggest spraying the board before you put it in your house. We had already fastened the board before we decided to spray it with chalkboard paint. :) Levi loves it and we love that he loves it! :)
