My friends and family are going to think I’m a genius….my fellow bloggers will be like “great, you made a chalkboard like 50 million other bloggers”…..but do chalkboard posts ever get old?? That’s what I thought.
I bought this picture for $2.00 at the Salvation Army…
Not a horrible picture but what I really liked was the frame. Simple but not too simple. Just needed a fresh coat of paint.
I purchased some Rust-Oleum Chalkboard Paint…
Taped up my picture….
And spray painted away….in the grass..so I didn’t get in trouble for painting the concrete..oops!
And here is my new chalkboard frame in our kitchen….pre-chalk
Post-chalk…
Look…Herb is growing hair…
Now I want to use Chalkboard paint on EVERYTHING!
Have you experimented with Chalkboard paint?
Does your menu consist of the Cap’n?? I’m getting my fill in before they discontinue it. I hope it’s an awful rumor but I’m eating up…just in case.

Chalkboard paint projects never get old! Your menu looks great (and also what you're serving;)! I can't wait for the temperatures to warm up a bit so I can make my own.
ReplyDeleteLooks good! It's a great frame. I don't have much luck with frames in the area, they always look chintzy. Where's your Goodwill of choice?
ReplyDelete(PS - Do you have chalkboard pens yet? They are awesome. Write like a paint pen but remove like chalk.)
I'm just really excited to see that "herb" is growing hair!
ReplyDeleteKim- Salvation Army...but don't steal my stuff. :P
ReplyDeleteMom- What can I say...I inherited your green thumb. :)
OMG love!!!
ReplyDeletei never have any luck at the Salvation Army near me :( not a single frame or piece of furniture, only clothes!
Def not tired of the chalkboard posts at all! What I LOVE about them is seeing the unique pieces that are made into chalkboards. Like here... I LOVE your frame- it's chunky and substantial, but simple and beautiful. LOVE IT!!! PS- I love Cap'n Crunch too!
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled across your blog. Thanks for posting this. I really want to try it. This may be a dumb question, but I have never used or even heard of chalkboard paint. Did you put it on the glass or on the actual canvas? What kind of surface do/can you use it on.
ReplyDelete@Stephanie- I used the chalkboard paint on the actual print. This frame didn't have any glass. I think any wood surface would work just fine!
ReplyDeleteVery good idea! And I have to say I love the giant spoon, knife and fork as well! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteVery cute and fresh. I love chalkboard too, one can never have enough chalkboard items:)
ReplyDeleteCap'N Crunch is my favorite *kid cereal!
ReplyDelete... cute chalk board, I love mine-- and I love writing cutesy sayings on it too.
Enjoy!
