Earlier today, I was looking at a stack of unused, wooden picture frames in the closet, and knew they'd make perfect-sized chalkboards. For the bathroom chalkboard, I plan to take some canvas material (since I already have some) and wrap it around one of the frames to coordinate with our washcloth basket that sits behind the toilet.
For the kitchen, I plan to take three frames and paint one green, one blue and one brown. Afterwards, I will connect them to create a larger chalkboard with sections-- one for a menu, one for a memory verse, and one for a daily to-do list.
I'm currently working on them in between baby's naps. I hope to finish them this week!
I love chalkboards!!! I keep trying to find some from antiques stores, etc but I haven't had any luck yet :P lol I have a feeling when I have my own house it's going to be filled with all your ideas ;)
ReplyDeleteGo to thrift stores! So much cheaper. I saw PLENTY at the two thrift stores I went to last Saturday. Just paint them and you're all good to go. I would have bought some, but I'm still in the use-what-you-have-at-home-already mode. Haha, just be creative and your home will be awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat's very true ... I didn't even think about thrift stores :)
