My first chalkboard project

I have completed my first chalkboard project. I know, I know…..I was slow to get on board.

I have had this $1 garage sale picture for almost a year (read original post here).

I’ve had this quart of chalkboard paint for almost the same amount of time.

I’ve had this blank spot on the side of my kitchen cabinets that just seems so bare….

I have this adorable husband who isn’t afraid to make holes in my cabinets.

I have this precious 2 year old who wants in all my pictures (look close…she is hiding).

I have this love of crystal knobs and animal prints.

I have a love for my Savior… Jesus Christ.

I now have a place where it all comes together perfectly.

(heading into my kitchen from my dining room)

Hopefully I will get on the next decorating “thing” before it’s almost over!

  4. I have had the exact same spot and chalkboard paint for the same amount of time, yet no frame yet! Great Job! Gotta love hubbies that aren’t afraid to make holes!

  5. Oh my goodness! I was not only looking at the chalk board but the cabinets and the wall treatment! I would LOVE to sit at your feet and soak up all you talents! I am a decorative painter also.. but I could learn a LOT from you! Thanks for visiting my blog! Now I can keep an eye on all you pretty things!

  7. This is so great, Jennifer! I love the shape of that frame and what a great way to hang it. I have a cabinet panel on the one side of my refrigerator where something like this would work great. I don’t think my hubby would be as accomodating to drill a hole in it though {even though it’s a panel and not a whole cabinet!}.

  11. Jen…that looks so stinkin cute! I am giggling because I am making a chalkboard out of my old calendar holder…while my paint drys I was checking blogs! We share a brain. Yours is much cuter…can’t go wrong with crystal knobs and cheetah ribbon!!

  20. love your chalkboard! and i wish you lived near me! i love to paint and would love to have a mentor like you!

  21. It’s lovely Ms. Jennifer—so is the rest of your house that I got a peek of! And darling family.
    happy weekending,

  23. Thanks for getting back to me, I really appreciate it! I have dreams of my cabinets looking like yours do actually. However, I realize you are a professional.. I may be shooting a little high! I can’t wait to try what you said, I think I will use the inside of my bathroom vanity door to check to see if the glaze will stick!

  24. The finish on that frame matches so perfectly with your cabinet! Love that your hubs would drill a hole in them ๐Ÿ™‚

  25. The frame is absolutely beautiful! What did you use? I love the whole look and yes, I’m a great fan of animal prints. ๐Ÿ™‚

  27. I have done this too…I love to find great frames with ugly art…:) I love your frames…:) Not to mention YOUR kitchen…Yay!

    I wanted to remind you of my SIMPLE GIVEAWAY…Come by and sign up! Meme

  29. I love the frame AND the crystal knob! I have been hunting for the perfect chunky frame to work on for myself. It’s almost yard sale time, can’t wait. I’ll be on a mission!

    Thanks for stopping by. My blogging break is about to come to an end because online class is almost finished. YAY ME!

  33. Great project. I guess I need to do one of those to get in the club.

    I love your little one half hiding and half peeking out!

    Hey, guess what we have in common? Husbands that shave their heads!

  36. Well, I am even further behind you. ๐Ÿ™‚ It came out beautifully though.

  37. Don’t feel all alone. I just completed my first chalkboard and blogged it today for Make It For Monday.

    I love the frame, you did a great job. I have an obsession with glass drawer pulls AND door knobs.

    Love your blog and am now following you. Hope you stop by my place.

  39. The scripture you put on your chalkboard is the same exact scripture I used for a vinyl lettering project, and placed above my kitchen sink!

    You did a great job!!! I love it!!

  41. LOVING it.

    Thanks for posting to the party.

    My favs will be up this evening.
