As a teacher, this would be a fantastic way to motivate my students, especially when they discover it’s actually okay to draw on walls!

We are in our dining room almost 20 hours a day, homeschooling, home-officeing, and playing games. I would paint 50 square feet of our dining room, mount a frame to the wall around it, and use it as grand central station for info for our many kids and seriously organized wife! (and dad [me] would probably doodle on it and archive them to evernote.)

It looks pretty cool!

Thanks!

I belong to an amateur astronomy group who are involved in preventing light pollution and promoting a green, power smart community. I would use Idea Paint at our strategy meetings to keep us focused on the important stuff. Posting our strategy to a shareable Evernote would really help out group pull together and become more effective.

On a more serious note, I do a lot of writing and blogging for clients and for various book projects. I am building a home office, and would love to turn one of the walls into an IdeaPaint wall so I can sketch out chapters, outline blog posts, and create social media marketing plans for clients.

I would use my IdeaPainted iPad to write notes like “I have an iPad and you don’t! Neener, neener, neener!” on it, and then hold it up so everyone else in the coffee shop could see it. Then I would use the camera to tell me when someone is about to come up and punch me in the eye.

As soon as I get to buy my own house, I will definitely love to have this thing painted on my wall as my ideas just come to me just like that, and I would not want to turn on my computer when it is still fresh. I just would like to just go back to basics and just write them down, in this case, on a wall. And the good thing about it is that I could always see it unless I erase it, so I could always add stuff into it. And for sure, this is great for brainstorming. And since I write scripts, great for outlining. As for ideas for my photo shoot, I could just draw on the wall and be able to see my concept unless I erase it.

ipad is already my main meeting notes thing – but I have to carry it + a paper folder for certain quick notes. Having the ability to do the quick notes ON the ipad? Golden.

As for ideapaint in general – we’ve been talking about a wall to write on in our office for ages. That’s just perfect.

I would paint my desk with idea paint. It’s currently covered in sticky notes and it would be much better to just be able to right on my desk, then take a pic at the end of the day. One way to be a little bit greener too.

I would love to use this paint on my gym at home to leave inspirational messages to my husband and son for their workouts. It would also be a great way for us to keep up with our progress on how much we lift and the reps!!!!

I would use it to paint a wall where we currently hang a white-board family calendar. I think it would be cooler to just be able to use the wall.
