Frame Chalkborad

Hello, how are you? I hope that you are well.

I wanted to share with you today a recently completed makeover. Last year I bought a frame in a charity shop for £2 with the intention of findings a use for it. However, as is the case with many of projects, I forgot about the frame and it was left languishing in the under stairs cupboard.

With the 'studio' makeover I decided that I would need a new chalkboard and after a little pondering I decided that the frame would be the right size. Not too big and not too small. I used a tester pot of paint that I had bought recently and some chalkboard paint that I have had for a while.

This is the frame before....



As you can see it is a little old fashioned...

and this is the frame after....



I added a wee doily and some stick on lace.
Here is a close up...



Now all I need is some chalk, oh and the 'studio' to be finished.

I hope you have a good weekend and if you are in the UK keep cool.
