Chalkboard Paint

Lainey and I have had a couple of chalkboard paint projects in mind and we finished them plus a couple more.

I saw this idea in a magazine and had a frame that Kyle had given me that I thought would be perfect. I painted it glossy white and cut the board to fit then painted it. So easy! I'm really happy how it turned out.
Was going to hang it vertically but there were nails there and I haven't moved them yet.
It's not too bad hanging horizontally but not really how I want it. No notes yet since I keep forgetting to buy chalk.

Here is Lainey's project. We painted both of her closet doors. As you can see she had already been writing on her walls with chalk - it washes off but elbow grease is required. Any friends that have been over have signed the doors. They used sidewalk chalk.


Here is her second idea. We had both of these lamps out to sell in the yard sale. She decided to paint both with the chalkboard paint. The round lamp was light pink and so was the shade. She spray painted it and it turned out cute.








Here was the best idea we had! I had the poster sign in the garage from my 40th birthday when Michelle put it in my yard. We painted it and had an instant reusable yard sale sign. We had some staple issues so it got a little smeared.
