I'd like to hang a plain whiteboard and a calendar whiteboard in my kitchen to help organize our family life. I'd rather not get something that looks like it belongs in an office. Any suggestions?
TIA!

Me too, please. I have been looking too. Have you seen the PB ones?

I have seen the pottery barn ones, but they don't have just a plain white board. If I don't get any better recommendations I'm going to go with what I found on amazon with the brand name "Board Dudes." You can find them easily with a quick Amazon search. Tell me what you think! I'd get the calendar with cork board and a smaller plain white board.

I like them quite a bit. Much more reasonably priced than pb too. Thanks! Let me know if you find anything else.

Target carries Board Dudes brand white boards. I have both a calendar and message board which have been in use for over a year and they are holding up well.

I have a Dudes board that has a wooden frame that looks like a pictures frame, which i like.

I bought a big calendar from a Teacher Supply store, and had it laminated. I stuck sticky backed magnets on it and stuck it on my fridge. I've used it for 5 years now, and it's perfect. The dry erase markers wipe off pretty easily- and the squares are big enough to write all the info I need in them.

Just wanted to add that ceramic is a great surface to use dry erase markers on. You can just pick up a few tiles at Lowes or the like and frame it (if your creative) or google ceramic memo board/ceramic dry erase board. Etsy has a bunch too although they may be too small http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_type=handmade&search_query=ceramic+dry+erase

Target has a white board and cork board on their weekly mailer this week!

I have a magnetic, personalized calendar. It looks like this, without the cow and with our 5 names a row for "all". The entire thing is a magnetic, so it's on the fridge. And, it's a dry erase surface.

I've also seen Board Dudes and similar at Michaels- that way you can use a 40% coupon.
I made my own based on the PB Teens style. You could do just a whiteboard and frame it though.
