A Couple'a Chalkboard Projects

I've been admiring this picture while cruising Pinterest.
Have you seen it?
I'm pretty sure it's a Pottery Barn ad.
I've been lovin' that pan with the chalkboard paint...too cool!

So....here's my version...

I found this 20" round pan at the thrift store for $9.00


A few coats of chalkboard paint....
Ta Da

I'm still going to keep searching for an oval pan, but I think this will do nicely in the meantime!

So, I also finished another chalkboard project which I thought of a while back.  I haven't seen this around...so I possibly may have a new idea here!


A clipboard from the thrift store (usually under $1)



Simply tape off the 'clip part' and coat with chalkboard paint
I then tie on a piece of chalk with jute
Then I make an 'eraser' by stuffing a piece of ticking with polyfill and attach with jute also.

What ya think?

I'm linking up with Transformation Thursday

  5. I love it. I'm afraid if I get started with that chalk board paint I won't know when to stop.
