classy chalkboard

I know everyone has done a chalkboard makeover,
except for me!
I've been keeping an eye out for something I thought could work,
and last week I found this at Salvation Army for $7
My husband literally laughed when he saw it.
"Oh ye of little faith," I told him.

There...
much better!
one can of chalkboard spray paint
one can of white spray paint
and some leftover trim to add a place for the chalk!
Can't get much easier than that!

check out ASPTL on Tuesdays for more great ideas!

    That turned out Great! Don't feel bad my husband would always shake his head and ask "What are you going to do with that thing". Now he doesn't say a word about my trash to treasure finds.

    Well you still beat me to do one of these. Yours looks lovely but can I admit I really like the old picture too? So soft and romantic, but my love would laugh me out of the house too!
