THIS IS A PROJECT THAT
I HAD A LOT OF FUN PUTTING
TOGETHER...
THIS IS WHAT I STARTED
WITH...
NOT SURE WHAT IS WAS
MAYBE A MIRROR. FOR
4.99 I COULD'NT LEAVE WITHOUT
IT...
A LITTLE CHALKBOARD SPRAY PAINT
AND SOME GREEN PAINT AND
HARDWARE AND THIS IS WHAT I
ENDED UP WITH...
I'M NOT THE GREATEST ARTIST
BUT I THOUGHT THIS WAS A FUN
THING TO DRAW ON THE CHALK
BOARD THAT WENT WITH THE
LILAC BUSH I HUNG IT IN TO
TAKE THE PICTURES...
ADDED AN OLD FURNITURE PULL
TO HOLD THE CHALK...
AND A WROUGHT IRON
PIECE I TOOK FROM A
POT RACK, THE POT RACK
IT'S SELF I WILL BE USING FOR
A FUTURE PROJECT.
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT
A QUICK EASY JOB YOU
CAN DO TO HAVE A CUSTOM
PIECE FOR YUR HOME OFFICE,
OR WHEREVER YOU CHOOSE TO
PUT IT.
HOPE YOU LIKE IT..

ReplyDeleteNice Lauren.....love that shade of green :) I love that you made it in to something different
ReplyDeletestop by my blog I just did a twist on a chalkboard this week.

ReplyDeleteVery nice use for a mirror frame. Like the details you added.
ReplyDeletethank you so much Kerstie for the great comment!
Deletewhat a cool frame to find for a chalkboard! I have been making them too and using those same cool looking drawer pulls for chalk as well. I don't think it's that easy to draw with chalk and your drawing doesn't even look bad at all!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love it! I love the color and everything about it! You are incredible!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I have a bunch of frames I'm going to make chalkboards out off and almost the same bin pulls to hold the chalk! Thank you for sharing at my link party.
ReplyDeleteI love a great chalkboard! Yours turned out super... love the furniture pull for the chalk. # 3 is great too, my bd is 3/3 :)

That is cute Lauren - and I love the color you chose! Adorable! I totally need onThanks for linking up to the Creative Inspirations Party at Embracing Change!
ReplyDeleteSo happy you were here!
Staceye for my kitchen!
I love your chalkboard!! I have one I want to make that looks so much like it. I hope this doesn't sound like a stupid question, but do you just use the chalkboard paint right on the paper background?? I have been waiting to do mine because I wasn't sure what to use for the paint :/...thanks so much in advance!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeanne, the background was actually wood and i sprayed the chalkboard spray paint right directly on the wood.

fabulous vision you had for plucking this up in the first place! love what you've done, esp the chalk holder!
ReplyDeletei don't get your feed in my email so i signed up for it just now and it says that i'm already signed up. hmmm.
ReplyDeleteany ideas about that? i don't want to miss a thing going on over here!
I'm a new linky follower :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, had a huge comment typed out and it disappeared. I just picked up a very similar shaped item at a flea market two weeks ago for $5. It definitely was a mirror. I know this because it broke just before I bought it! I wanted it for the frame anyway, so it was all good. My plans for it also include making it a chalkboard, but i am going to have to steal your chalk holder idea. much better than what I had planned.
