I am so done with rectangular placemats on my round kitchen table. It drives me nuts. Just NUTS. But a standard issue round tablecloth is a no-go either with my two jumping bean boys who would most certainly rip the thing off, dinner plates included, the first minute I put in on. But a chalkcloth tabletop? I could get behind that.
Spotted two weeks ago on one of my daily reads -- Sweet Sweet Life -- I haven't been able to get the image out of my head. Amy just bought some yardage from a local Etsy seller and cut it to size.
Voila! Table covering and kid distraction all rolled into one.
