I have wanted to make a chalkboard for a long time and I finally got around to doing it. I found the perfect antique frame at a garage sale for $2.00. It used to be an ugly gold and I painted it white. Imagine that! :)
I am bummed because a few weeks ago I saw a wooden box full of vintage chalk for $7 at the antique mall and when I went back to get it this past week it was gone. I guess you snooze...you lose or in this case I lose. I thought it would be perfect sitting underneath my chalkboard.
I love how it turned out and I have had some offers on facebook already to sell it, but I am keeping this one. I hope I can find some more old frames to do this with. Easy as eating pie!!

First of all Sandi, the pictures you took of your darling little grand baby are awesome.
I love your chalkboard too!!!
sending hugs...
Well, how pretty is that! Such a great price too. It sure looks good with all your other treasures :)
I love your chalkboard!! The frame is awesomeness!!
I love your chalk board! I make them to sell all the time but never keep one for myself! I think that's about to change. Painting my kitchen and sun room over the next two days! Some changes are coming in there!

Looks so pretty Sandi ~ similar detail to the one in my kitchen!
This turned out so pretty I love it!!
I have to catch up after having computer problems for a while. Your chalkboard turned out fantastic, Sandi! What a great deal you made on the frame. I still love your Peacock treasures too and always drool over your metal and other finds.

Wonderful project, Sandi. Looks great with your French accessories. I can see a change in your decor evolving. I suppose our homes are always a work in progress,aren't they. That is what makes them art.
love it! did you use paint on chalk board or spray?
blessings,
aimee
