Oprah at Home – Winter 2006 Get Organized Challenge

I picked up the Winter 2006 O at Home Magazine not only because it had a "Get Organized" Banner along the front, but I also thought my friend Chris McKenry of Get it Together LA! was being quoted inside.  So, I was wrong, about Chris– it’s next month Chris’s expertise will be duly noted.

Oprah is big on lifestyle help at home.  New York City online furniture importer Jane Mount and her boyfriend Darko Karas, a graphic designer created an ingenious use of space, and their use of camouflage was terrific.  I especially loved how they disguised their row of freestanding IKEA closet with a photomural, and the chalkboard cupboards, pictured above.  Now the couple always knows which cabinet holds the chips and dips, peas and pasta.

So, design inquiry here:  would you paint your kitchen cabinets with chalk paint?
