Vinyl decals are a growing trend in home decor and an easy way to add interest to a wall. I love to browse the designs that different companies offer, but I only recently discovered these chalkboard and dry erase decal calendars, and I love them.

    I love all these! I don’t have much need for one anymore, but back when I had 3 kids at home and ran a business and homeschooled, oh boy did I use one! I lived by that calendar! These are really cute though! I would have a hard time picking!

      I don’t know if I need one or not, but I do love them!

    I would be lost without my monthly (or actually two month) dry erase calendar. We keep it posted in the kitchen in the high traffic area of the house and refer to it often. Even though we have electronic calendars we still like the visual of the monthly one on the wall as a constant daily reminder of what is to come.

      There is something different about a wall calendar. I feel that way about
      handwritten to-do lists too!

    I started looking for a dry erase calendar a few months ago that I could hang on the wall and see what’s coming up. I’m very visual, so it is a great time management tool for me. Because of my business, I knew that I wanted to be able to see three months at a time but didn’t want to spend the money on three calendar boards. So I bought 3 plain dry erase boards with black frames at Michaels for $25 each, used some electrical tape to make a grid and voila…calendar! I used some cute colored vinyl letters to make the days of the week at the top frame. Now I hang all three boards in my office and when I get through one month, I erase that board and move it to the end and rotate the upcoming boards over. This way I always have three months worth of a running calendar. I also use different color markers for different things, pink for business stuff, purple for my personal stuff, green for the kids etc.

      I tried to make one of those calendar boards myself, but it didn’t turn out
      so great, LOL. It sounds like you’ve got a great system, though!

    I like to buy corkboards and chalkboards at thrift stores and decorate the “frames” with different items like lightweight glass beads, seashells, tile pieces, etc… Makes them so much more attractive and MUCH cheaper. The ones listed here are certainly nice, but you can make them much cheaper than buying new ones!

    I should add to my first concise reaction that my problem with these things is putting them in a location where I can access them without getting up. I know it’s lazy, but if a bulletin board isn’t within reach of my desk and isn’t behind my monitor where I can see it regularly I won’t use it.

    I love the dot calender! So cute. I have a paper calender on my fridge. That way I see it all the time. Am just now adding one to my new home management binder too.

    I have never had luck with anything dry erase. I seem to bump them all the time and accidentally erase things! Or else the kids do. I like paper and ink best.

      Use Vis a Vis markers…. one must use water to remove them, so no amount of bumping into would erase them. ;)

        That’s a great tip — thank you!

    Love this idea-Im in the process of creating a kitchen command center and am trying to find a 2 month dry erase calendar-any suggestions?

    • http://yourway.net Mandi @ Life…Your Way

      Hmm, I haven’t seen one, but I’m guessing you could email those designers on
      Etsy and they might be able to come up with one for you!

        I was able to find a blank calendar dry erase for $4 at five below yesterday and so I bought 2! Yeah!
