chalkboard envy

I'm trying to decide how I want the office in my new house to look. I am tempted to do one wall of chalkboard paint so that I can doodle as I please. I think you can even get magnetic chalkboard paint, which would be even cooler. What do you think of this new trend? I think it's a pretty awesome way to jot down your to do's while still looking artsy and funky. Still trying to decide my accent colours.
