The idea of using chalkboard paint is extendable to embellishing different items, as shown using [wine glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sommelier-pro-collection) above. Other potential candidates for customization include your salt and pepper shakers, water pitchers, coasters -- the list goes on (though it may be best to hold off on those plates). Plus, seeing as you can leave notes and reminders on things that you use everyday, this is an instance where design meets functionality. There is an array of different brands of chalkboard paint that you can buy, but the featured Pebeo china paint can be purchased on [Amazon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodleface) for only a little over $10 CDN.
