    Default Chalkboard help! need some other ideas

    I've painted two more chalkboards in my kitchen (still have one to go).

    One is above my coffee maker so I want to do a "coffee house" theme. It's on the door of the cabinet where I keep my coffees,filters etc...

    One is on the cabinet where I keep all my Pastas figureing a "pasta" theme there, any ideas on what would go nice?
    I was thinking maybe names of Pastas?

    The third (and LAST one) will be on my cabinet which houses all my baking items, flour,falvorings,sugar,baking soda etc...
    I'd like to do that one in a Bakery theme.

    Ok so here's my delima, I want to do all the words in either
    French and/or Italian.

    Only I don't know many French words. The Italian is kinda easy but still would love any ideas you may have.
    TIA

    That is going to look great Ellise.

    I don't know any French, so I can't help you with the words. Sorry!

    It is a neat idea though.

    If you make a list, I can have Gabe translate for you.
    You can also use babelfish translator, but it's not always accurate.

    ok here's what I have so far for the "coffee house" chalkboard.
    Espresso
    Cappuccino
    Latte
    Medaglia D'Oro
    Mocca Java
    Frappuccino

    Can anyone think of maybe two more?

    On the "Bakery Board" I have:
    Tiramisu
    Biscotti
    Sfogliatine
    Pandorini

    Suggestions? Maybe some in French?

    "Pasta Board"
    Tortellini
    Fagotini
    Annelletti
    Fuselli-col Buco
    Fettuccine
    Orecchiette
    Ditalini
    Ziti
    Penne Lisce
    Ravoili
    Linguine Fiini

    I won't be able to use all the pastas I don't think so which do you think would look best? Or sound best?

    Well, it will definatly be DIFFERENT! that's for sure. Dh says it is taking on more of a Resturant feel to him.. My thoughts, "Good resturants close at 9 pm!" LOL

    Sara,
    Just some french bakery items. Like biscuits, cookies or breads. as long as they sound "cool" LMAO. But I think anything in French or Italian sound cool. Maybe some unusual things that maybe aren't redily available in the states.

    The only bad thing (maybe it's a good thing) with this paint is you have to let it cure for 48 hours before you can write on it, so that should give Gabe plenty of time to come up with something.

    Sara thanks so much!
