Chalkboard Doors!

We had these boring linen closet doors at the end of our dark boring hallway.

One night while I was being creative, I decided to turn the doors into charlkboards!

First I measured and taped the exact sizes I wanted.

Then I added 2 coats of chalkboard paint and allowed 3 days for drying.

Then it was finally chalk time!

This design allows for each of my 3 household members to have their own chalkboard section…

  

plus 1 large section for us to share our favorite inspirational qoutes.

I am very happy with the results.  We’ve had lots of fun leaving messages for each other.

Dry Erase Picture Frames

While stolling Pinterst.com I found a great idea for DIY Dry Erase Boards.

First, I found large wooden picture frames from Goodwill.  I looked for the 50% off color and snagged these at $1 each.

Next, I painted the frames with Semi-Gloss paint and used Scrapbook paper to spruce up the frame insert.

After a thorough drying, I assembled the frames.

Next, I attached ribbon with hotglue and nails to the back of the frame.
