As I have said before, I look for "projects" when I shop at Goodwill.
So on a recent trip,
I bought this painted board and this cutting board...
I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do with them.
But... I had a child's desk that I was painting the top with chalkboard paint. So, while I had the can open, I thought I might as well paint my new finds!
I added a couple of scrolly elements to this board. It already had a hook on the back so it's ready to hang.
I loved this cutting board because of the hole in the handle...it doesn't even need a hook. I wrapped some twine around the neck and it's ready to hang up. I think it would be perfect in a kitchen.
The only thing I don't like about chalkboard paint is how long you have to wait between coats. I get impatient. When I start a project, I like to finish it and move on to the next one!
I've got another chalkboard in the works that I am excited about. Stay tuned, that's coming soon!

Wow! Great Idea! I just recently made my first chalkboard project. I will have to be on the lookout for some great finds like this to chalk!
ReplyDeleteYes, that is a great idea! For someone who has a thing about genuine old slate boards and owns several of them, it's hard for me to consider chalkboard paint. But I've seen it in so many projects and it looks great! (and I'll have to admit it's a lot easier to carry around.) :-)
ReplyDeleteof course! how cute and such a smart thing to do!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea! I have altered a few cutting boards into message centers. I like your chalkboard idea, and pinned it on my Pinterest board.
ReplyDeleteHope you can come by my blog for a visit and check out my altered cutting boards and more!
