Gi-normous Chalkboard
I had this CRAZY idea to make a chalkboard….
out of this:
(I’ve had this ugly non-attractive table since I first got married)
It usually wore a tablecloth–I’m sure you understand.
Nonetheless, me being the crazy re-doer lately,
I thought we could take it apart and make a new table
(that’s another post)
Soooo, I flipped this tabletop over, painted it and
TA-DA
This wall is large, and the ceilings are 10 feet,
so it’s always been difficult to cover the space well.
The buffet/side table is from Canton Trade Days, and made from an old door.
I used three coats of chalkboard paint and the edges are done with the
gray, white, bronze mix that I used on my farmer’s market sign.
(see previous post)
I just used items I already have to make it look Harvest-y.
I’ll be showing you how the other table turned out, very soon.
Have a marvelous Monday, friends!
I’m joining Cindy at Make It 4 Monday

Blessings,

What a clever idea! Your giant chalkboard looks awesome, along with your whole vignette!! It's making me think of turning a big mirror I have into a chalkboard, hmmmmmm. 🙂

Hi~
I saw your blog show up on my blogfrog visitor thingey! lol I thought your blog name sounded neat. I LOVE your blog~I will be back to visit. Hope you can stop by and say hi sometime soon. 🙂
Fabulous idea! Looks great. Love your photos and that bottle drying rack, OH MY! I've been looking for one for over a year now. Love it
Turned out perfectly! I love so much about your blog. Here are just a few: burlap, your hope-filled verse on the sidebar, and of course I love it that you're getting chicks!! So, naturally, I'm going to follow along. Oh, … and Canton {sigh}. Our son lived near there for two years. Glad he's moved closer to home, but I miss Canton! Thanks so much for the visit and nice comments! -Tammy

OH MY GOSH…I love it!!!! you did a great job..and I am green with envy over your stunning drying rack!!!! WOW!!!
What a great project, Becky! Turned out wonderfully and I love when a piece can be re-used instead of discarded! Your vignettes really look beautiful, too!!
Great idea. I am a fan of chalkboards. I use one in our home instead of writing notes. More 'GREEN'. Love your blog. It is absolutely gorgeous. Deb (Ottawa)

I am loving your style and how you recycle the most ordinary of things into something beautiful, shabby and vintage. Go girl!
