An old cupboard door, or window frame or amazing frame is what I am after.
In the mean time,
I picked this up at the Salvo's today.
It's missing a bit of one corner, but we will see what the magic of paint can do!
Your Salvo frame will look fab with a spruce up and a bit of blackboard. I look forward to seeing it!
ReplyDeleteI think that will work well as a blackboard...plenty of space to write on too!
ReplyDeleteI think you have found the oomph you were looking for Deb. Can't wait to see it finished. ;-)
ReplyDeleteEvery wall in our home has the original beading on it, so we painted a whole panel in between the beading with chalkboard paint...straight on the kitchen wall. It looks fabulous and is so handy and was one of the cheapest and easiest projects. Lottie spends hours drawing on it in winter when I am cooking. Great for shopping list, menus or 'I love you' messages:) You will love having one Deb!! I LOVE your new frame, what a find! Cannot wait to see your chalkboard. ~ Txx
ReplyDeleteGreat find Deb, I think it would look fabulous as a blackboard. xx
ReplyDeleteIt'll be gorgeous Deb, fantastic frame. Rachaelxx
ReplyDeleteLove blackboards too. I have painted one direct onto the wall in my little girl's room and then just used paint to make a frame for it. One thing to watch out for is the chalk dust that collects on the floor. I think your salvos frame will be fab.
ReplyDeleteI have just discovered you blog - it's great x
I'd love a blackboard in the kitche,,,I just don't have the wallspace. I think the frame you have will be fabulous...shabby elegance! ;-D
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
Great frame Deb...why don't my op shops have treasures like that! It'll look fab.
ReplyDeleteGreat find, a good frame is always a win, especially at Op Shop prices!! Go the blackboard paint as you'll find more places you want it!! Hey, in the IKEA book you just won, hearty congratulations, there is a family who did a big blackboard black cloud on the wall - you'll see & you'll LOVE IT!! Love Posie
ReplyDeleteNow that would make a glam blackboard - nice score! Can't wait to see what you do with it ;) K xx
ReplyDeleteI adore blackboards....I painted a wall in my daughters room and I have a cupboard painted in my kitchen along with a huge framed one in my living room....easy to make with blackboard paint...it even comes in different colours like pink and blue!
ReplyDeleteHappy decorating. xoxoxoo
Thursday hugs to you
Ooh, aah! Loving the bloggy makeover, Deb ☺. You have been a busy bee. I can't wait to see the grand reveal. J x
ReplyDeletewhat a "timely" post! Just last night I started to prep my refrigerator for the chalk board. Today will put on my first coat of the chalk board paint, I got mine in black as my kitchen is black and white. Will post photos as soon as it is done. Enjoy! I personally couldn't have found a better place for my "shopping or to do list".
