The Writings On The Wall
I found this little chalkboard today as I was looking for Goodwill donations to take in. It belonged to my daughter when she was 5 so it's been around for a while. It was tucked away behind my little one's dresser so it wasn't being used. As soon as I saw it, I got flashbacks of all the gorgeous chalkboards floating around in blogland. *LOVE* It didn't take a burning bush for me to see what needed to happen next. "Oh Honey!" Thankfully I got him in a good mood because he cut the trim and helped me attach it to the edge of the chalkboard. After the Gorilla Glue dried all I had to do was caulk the angles and let those dry. Then it was just a matter of taping it off and painting. Best of all the cost of this total project was $0.50! Yes that's right not even a full dollar! I had all the materials on hand except for the 50 cent jar of paint from my local Lowes home improvement store. I love it when I can repurpose things I have on hand. This puppy will hang in my sun's (I spell it like that on purpose) room along with that cute truck shelf I made yesterday.
