Chalkboard Bandwagon
/
I’m jumping on the chalkboard bandwagon.
My friends and family are going to think I’m a genius….my fellow bloggers will be like “great, you made a chalkboard like 50 million other bloggers”…..but do chalkboard posts ever get old?? That’s what I thought.
I bought this picture for $2.00 at the Salvation Army…
Not a horrible picture but what I really liked was the frame. Simple but not too simple. Just needed a fresh coat of paint.
I purchased some Rust-Oleum Chalkboard Paint…
Taped up my picture….
And spray painted away….in the grass..so I didn’t get in trouble for painting the concrete..oops!
And here is my new chalkboard frame in our kitchen….pre-chalk
Post-chalk…
Look…Herb is growing hair…
Now I want to use Chalkboard paint on EVERYTHING!
Have you experimented with Chalkboard paint?
Does your menu consist of the Cap’n?? I’m getting my fill in before they discontinue it. I hope it’s an awful rumor but I’m eating up…just in case.

DIY Window Headboard Tutorial-Queen
/We’ve had a few requests for queen sized dimensions of our West Elm Window Headboard Copy Cat.
Here they are! All directions are the same as the king size bed (follow them here)…only the cut list has changed!
- Using 2x4: cut to 55" (horizontal support on very bottom)
- Using 2x3:
- cut 2 - 55" pieces (top and bottom horizontal of headboard)
- cut 2 - 55" pieces (side pieces)
- Using your 1x2s cut:
- ten 6.75" pieces (horizontal part of "window")
- ten 18.5" pieces (vertical part of "window")
- (the picture shows 20" but this takes into account the other pieces)
- ten 6" pieces (for top and bottom of "window")
- six 3.5” pieces (in between “windows”)
Let us know if you have any questions and please e-mail us a photo of your completed project!!
On a totally unrelated note…what accent color should I use for pillows? Remember we are pretty boring traditional…
