This might be one of my favorite projects to date. I love the way it turned out. I was inspired by the menu board in this post and adapted it a bit for Kennedy's room.
An old $1 cabinet door from ReStore, some leftover chalkboard paint, and green paint left over from this project ...
... and Kennedy has a super cute new chalkboard next to her {vintage} desk. She loves it.
The chalk holder {a $1 rusted drawer pull from Canton} is my favorite touch.
I love Luke's hooks and now this chalkboard ... and I'm pondering all the other things I can make with salvaged cabinet doors. Any great links you can share?

ReplyDeleteI am so inspired - i think I'm gonna try this!!!! i am your newest follower~
ReplyDeleteI have wondered how the chalkboard paint holds up. Does it get really smeary after a while if you write/erase/write/erase?
ReplyDeleteVery cute idea.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any links, but I've seen this with white board paint as well. Subway art maybe? Around here I know I would probably use it as a chore chart, lol. :)
ReplyDeleteAdorable project! I love the 'chalk holder' too!
ReplyDeleteI love this--the color is fantastic!!

I LOVE your chalkboard project but I have to agree, the drawer pull is the icing on the cake! My favorite part! Very clever!
ReplyDeleteVisiting from Craft-O-Maniac's blog party! Stop by and visit me @ cookscleansplayswithpaper.blogspot.com !!!
just found your blog, love this project. i actually have something {actually, from canton!!} that is a bit similar that I JUST got chalkboard paint to fix up!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is the post that got me to check out this blog, and I'm even more interested now that I see you shop at Habitat Restore; one of these opened up in our city last year. (Santa Rosa, CA.) Ours also had a $1 cabinet door sale not too long ago. I bought a couple of really long, skinny pieces that I'm using for shelving. I love that place!
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever! It looks great! What is the other thing hanging by Kennedy's desk with all the fabric?
ReplyDeleteI love this--you found the perfect door for a chalkboard! The colors are beautiful, too!

Oooooo! What a great idea! I'm thinking something like this would be cool leaning on an eclectic fireplace mantle! Love the green as well.
ReplyDeleteStopping by from CSI.
I love that little chalk holder trick! I've been trying to decide how to store my chalk, and that is great! I love all the colors too!
ReplyDeletewhat a great extra touch - love it!
ReplyDeleteLove the chalk holder as much as you do. Now I'll be hunting for something cute too to hold the chalk!
ReplyDeleteIt is so cute! Yes.. love the chalk holder. Did you glue it on or screw it on?
ReplyDeleteI found you from the Chalk Talk link party.
You can also use the chalkboard paint on the inside of one of you kitchen cabinet doors for a memo board for yourself.
I'd love for you to link this up to my Organizing Mission link party! It is a great organizational tool.
Love it. Love the chalk holder. Great job!
