Ha ha ha! As soon as I saw "hey girl . . . " I thought of all the Ryan Gosling photos floating around! Your Ike photo and quote made me laugh!

You already had a great pantry space, and the double door chalkboards make it look awesome! Very jealous :)

I definitely recommend waiting it out to season them because it will be worth the wait in the long run. Make sure you post a follow-up once the writing's on the door(s)!

I have a feeling Ike is much more reliable than Ryan Gosling. I think it has to do with the loyalty factor. :)

Those doors look amazing! Although we have no candy in the house because of Lent (I know, quite the travesty), I've been seeing projects popping up everywhere. It's even been happening in my dreams. I am a DIY addict. :)

I love the fact that you have Lucky Charms in there, haha.

Oh my gosh, I love this! And I love the E-A-T over your pantry doors! I just made E-A-T letters for my kitchen!

hahah, thank you for the laugh with Ike's picture. Does nate know about the chalkboard paint in the pantry yet? I think it was an awesome idea. :)

Hahaha, Ike! He's a very trusty source. Glad you listened to him because I love the result. Brilliant! Seriously, how do you think of this stuff?? I'm impressed.

Love that Ike is more reliable than Gosling. You should make sure to Pin his picture, and make him the new Pinterest sensation.

i remember the fail.... though i didn't think it was that bad! ;)
these are PERFECTION though and will make us all soon forget the failure.

I just LOVE the "Hey Girl" quotes...Ike is way better than Ryan Gosling!
I'm in love with your chalk board doors. Total awesome idea!!

Looks great! I wish I had pantry doors to add chalkboard paint to.

Great job, I would always to defer to Ike. ;0)

That looks really good on the inside! I'd definitely say Ike has better ideas!

That picture of Ike had me laughing out loud!!!

So cute, Ike is just as cute as Ryan gosling! Ummm but in a different kinda way, obv.

Love the idea of having it on the inside, also great because if you would have screwed up it would have been easy to hide lol. That's just the way I think!

Uh, hello...brilliance! Do you loan Ike out for advice-giving? I've got a few projects that need his nimble eye.

Ha! I love Ike's Ryan Gosling impersonation. Great idea with the chalkboard paint. Brilliant!

I think Ike "hey girl" photos are going to be the new thing. I sure hope so! Love the doors :-)

Great solution, Ike. I like that you're a Jif fan... and that you have more than one container.

Love it! It might even be practical. When my kitchen is finally done I just may steal this idea. Cheers!

That Ike pic made me laugh out loud! Looks awesome. Great idea!!

It looks great. What a great idea on doing the inside doors! Love it.

1) The doors look amazing (I love your pantry, btw). I can't wait until you can write on them and be all snazzy with it.
2) As much as I love Ryan Gosling being all "Hey Girl..." with me, I am enjoying Ike. You should make more of these. :)

I love how they look! What a fun place to do that. And that Ike is such a character!

I love the idea of doing that inside of the pantry door.. that would be so helpful in our house especially for the grocery list that I hate to have placed with magnets on my decor-free refrigerator. It would also be great for our calendar and other things as well.. KUDOS Ike! LOL

I'm seriously DYING with that Ike picture. Death by hilarity. I think it looks great.

My one and only chalkboard tip - make sure to "season" it with a layer of white chalk. I didn't do that and I regret it.

Brilliant - Ike is always right! Great job, you two! LOL Thanks for sharing... enjoy your evening. Jalon

I have this theory...when Pinterest goes the way of Napster, Ryan Gosling will play the part of Metallic. Suing housewives left and right.

Excellent use of the doors...good luck waiting for them to cure :)

That looks UHmazing. I like how the black on the inside of the doors really ties in the EAT letters.

And let's talk about Ryan Gosling. Man he is a fine piece of man candy. Ike is such a doll, and so very wise.

Ooooooh, this is good. Real good.
I may have to borrow Ike. Harry and Georgia are no good at important decisions like this.

oooooOoOOoO! i love it! the panels kind of "frame" the chalkboards. i don't know how you can stand to wait. maybe i better NOT attempt this as i am no good at waiting...

Love what you have done here. I hope you will be using the boards - such a fun way to keep track of pantry items/shopping lists!

So fun! I love it! My cats are no help with decisions unless it involves their food, their tummy being scratched, or their desire to maul the birds outside the window. None of which are ever really useful when making house decisions. You have a keeper there in that pooch. ;)

I can't stop eating Cadbury mini eggs!!! You pantry looks like it should be in a magazine. For real. Like, I'm. Pinning it. Ryan is just fun to look at. Dogs always give better advice. Rocco is like a miniature Buddha.

That Ike is so dreamy. This is a fabulous solution and now I want to paint the inside of all my kitchen cabinets with chalkboard paint. ALL of them.

Oooh that Ike.

Okay, so I chalkboard painted our fridge out in the garage and it's holding up great, but I'm always curious about chalkboard INSIDE. Does it great a bunch of dust on the floor? Report back in a few weeks. Kthxbai.

That is great! I wish I had cabinets suitable for chalkboard paint, because it just looks so convenient to have a spot to make lists when you're out of something.

I love that all you have to do is shut the doors and tadaa it's back to normal! Such a neat little surprise to paint it on the inside of your doors.

This made me giggle and feel jealous all at the same time. What a brilliant idea!

Pantry is gorg, but the stairs really have me swooning!
