I've been wanting to use the whiteboards at our church, but I haven't found any molding that is cut out to fit flush against the wall and against the whiteboard. I'd love to know how you solved that problem. I’m curious about the white plastic molding.

It is always a fight to find the ultimate ceramic steel / marker combo. I do know that it is not the same but we have designed wall panels that need zero installation and deliver a big sketchestate and also store your markers neatly in the side. They are made for offices and the pricing is not DIY level but the advantage is that you can move it around once in a while and that it is modular.. The cool thing is that we can deliver custom color borders when order size increases.. please take a look whether you like them http://www.innvire.com Cool and easy… how is the erasing after a few weeks?

Usually my rooms are full of bookshelves but I have this one wall in the dining room that is empty. It's part of the hall way so I can't put anything much on it or it impedes traffic. It's the perfect place, however, for our big map, bulletin board and whiteboard. Now to be careful not to mix the dry erase markers with the Sharpies! The board cleans up great. We use an eraser with it most of the time. If there is a lot of residue on the surface we use a wipe or wet paper towel to clean it more thoroughly. I would imagine it will need to be replaced at some time. Yes, having the wall space is important. Usually my rooms are full of bookshelves but I have this one wall in the dining room that is empty.

I was so jealous! I have almost no wall space so it will have to wait until I get my school room - some day. Way too cool! I get together with a friend who has one that takes up almost an entire wall in her living room. It's always covered with notes & reminders. It does really work very well.

I always forget that we can make stuff ourselves -- I need to spend more time in the hardware store to get inspiration! Thanks for the good idea and for stopping by my blog. That’s a great idea.

The smell of sharpies does make me dizzy with pleasure. And at this very minute, I'm planning where I'm going to put my new giant white board. Maybe next to the game boards on my wall! ;) Ok, this beats all! The smell of sharpies does make me dizzy with pleasure.
