Chevron Table Top or Chalkboard Table Top?

Our kitchen table and the chairs around it are cousins. They share similar genes, but the comes from different family lines. They aren't a matching set, and while they are both wood, the colors and styles are slightly different. I'm not sure that anybody visiting our home has ever mentioned that our chairs and table don't match, but I guess that doesn't mean they haven't noticed. At least, that's what my wife would say.

So she painted it. 

Just the top, to divert attention away from the fact that the surface was noticeably lighter than the chairs touching it. She couldn't decide between two options:

#1 - Chalkboard paint; so we could write notes on it, and my daughter could draw on the table with chalk. 

#2 - Chevrons; because it would be hip (she didn't actually use that word).

Drumroll please....
