Green Chalkboard - From Boring Frame to Chalkboard

Hey guys!  Hope your well....Life has been very unpredictable and busy lately.  I hope this post finds you healthy and happy:)

I have blogged before about making chalkboards from mirrors....well this one is no different either. This time around I chose to use a boring frame. I do love chalkboards and when you have a simple frame or mirror that needs to be "jazzed" up what better way to do it than with a chalkboard....right?

I started with this simple and quite boring frame....



I simply sprayed the frame green and then antiqued it with some black acrylic paint.  I then sprayed the glass with chalkboard paint.  Here she is now.....



Take care of yourself and your loved ones....
