The topic says it all really. We currently have a VERY attractive whiteboard bought as a houseawarming present for us by MIL which has a pattern of chickens and kittens running round it (wtf??) but has thankfully finally become tatty enough to replace without causing offence.
Friend has a gorgeous country living type slate one in her house but she pointed out that you have to write in huge letters in chalk so wasnt really practical for jotting down shopping lists etc.
Any inspiration/ideas out there?
