In Italian the word gesso most literally means “chalk”, and while it’s been around for centuries its most known exploit is its handy gift for brightening up our driveways. This powder mineral has now made its way off of the sidewalk and onto the runaways. Its new claim to fame has awarded it its own appropriately named color, is now our color of the week. If you are tired of your typical walls, try jumping on the band wagon and bringing some chalk inside. Trendy chalk board walls are not only fun, they’re also practical. Kids and parents alike will love writing on the walls to prioritize their lives and show off their artistic ability all at once.
