Chalkboard DIY


I found this frame while antiquing with my mom and sisters. A couple coats of spray paint totally transformed it! A DIY chalkboard was on my list of things to accomplish in 2012, and I'm glad to have something small knocked off my list. I'll be hanging this in our kitchen to keep track of grocery lists and menus for the week. 


P.S. More of my antique/thrift store finds coming later!
