Hudson Paint is the brainchild of decorative painter Arno Cornillion.
His idea of developing a color chalkboard paint has been three years in the making. “It started with a client asking for an orange chalkboard,” Arno explains, “which I was surprised to find didn’t already exist.”
The response from friends, clients and local craft fairs was overwhelming. And Hudson Paint was born. Today it is mixed at a family-owned paint manufacturer in the Hudson Valley.
Hudson Paint’s Color Chalkboard Paint liberates chalkboards from black and green. It has inspired colorful mudrooms, kitchens, restaurants and bedroom walls parents encourage children to write on!

IKEA sells a product that you can use as a cushion, or fold out as an extra single size comforter. It’s a great space-saving product that can be used for guests or just as an extra spare blanket on a chilly night. On a regular day, keep the quilt folded up and use as a comfy pillow or color splash for your room.

Joel Escalona Studio’s “MYDNA” takes its influence from that of the DNA strand (DNA is a double helix where the strands naturally twist as part of their shape). The furniture bookcases follow this design shape and as a result, create an intriguing piece of home décor. If anyone can find one for purchase, let me know. I haven’t been able to spot one.

Transform walls into whiteboards
This product is really similar to chalk-board paint in the sense that it turns a wall into a writeable surface. The great thing about it is the fact that it’s white (chalkboard paint is black and makes for an ugly design mess when not in use). This would be a great product for an office setting, schoolroom, or your home’s computer/project room.
IdeaPaint helps you make ideas happen in the existing areas around your creative space or office. By transforming your walls into useful space, you can track ideas, capture action steps, and bring order to the creative process.
