Martha's Vintage [Chalk Board]

I like quick and easy.
Who doesn't like quick and easy?
No one... ever.

I have wanted a chalkboard in my kitchen for a while. Something where I can jot down notes or perhaps, menu items for a dinner party?


When I finally found the perfect frame at Ross last week, I knew I was one step closer to my dreamy chalkboard. I actually picked up the chalk paint at Michael's several months ago, when they had them on clearance (I think they were resetting the store). I grabbed three. That means MORE chalkboards are in my future, right?!

This project was super easy. I didn't even bother taking the picture out of the frame. I just taped it off and got to work. I love re-purposing Ross' artwork; they have some pretty cool frames.





Sorry... I didn't know what else to christen my chalkboard with... except for "Look at me, look at me..." [name that movie?!]

I think it turned out super cute... and all for UNDER $20. I guarantee you that if I tried to buy it at a store as is, it would cost more. The frame is 16x20!


I think what I love most about this piece is the color of the frame... it goes NICELY with my stainless steal appliances, but still works with the oil rubbed bronze fixtures in my kitchen (house, really).

The kitchen is looking mighty fine, people! Mighty fine.
