I finally jumped on the chalkboard bandwagon!!!
I got this cute picture at Goodwill for $2.00!!! I liked the picture, but it doesn't go well with my decor. So, I thought this would be a good start to make my first chalkboard! I painted over the picture with 2 coats of chalk board paint and that's it! I think this could be addictive! I love it!
Here's the before!
Happy Tuesday!!!
Where I'm Partying!!!

This is so cute and simple! One of these days, I will also join that bandwagon!
Cute cute!!! I like the little decoration thingys on it, adorable!!!
Chalkboard paint is definitely addictive....I had it taken away from me. You start out with just one little chalkboard, and then hey! That over there would look good as a chalkboard! and that picture! ...and that door! OH and that! and the fridge! AND THAT WALL!!!!!!!
So proceed with caution!!! haha!
That's an adorable frame! Love the chalkboard "after", too!
Super cute!

Sweet Chalkboard!!!
Love it!!! It's adorable! :)
I really like the frame, makes it look like a polished grown up chalk board! good job!
Super cool it is so cute! I still have to make one I feel so behind the times!
Great find! I haven't jumped on board that wagon yet, but I see it coming soon.
I love it! It turned out beautifully!
Enjoy!

Yay!! You did a great job. :) I love the way you put it in the cute little stand! Visiting from Craft-O-Maniac's party. :)
Looks great, fun project!
The chalkboard looks way better than the picture.
great job
Cute! Yes, blackboard paint is one of those things you can't get enough of once you start....but soooo many things to paint. In a post last week I painted some small buckets, for the kids crayons and craft supplies, with chalkboard paint.
I agree with Patti, the chalk board is much prettier than the picture~~ Good job~~
I think I need a chalkboard at work. Thanks for the inspiration to make it more than just ordinary.
I love it!
Very cute! I love to chalkboard things....another cute project, is to buy different old silver trays, put a coat of kilz on the part your going to paint with the chalk board paint, then paint 2 or 3 coats and OOOOh Lala, vintage message boards!!! Happy Junkin! Cathy aka girls gone junkin
Seems everyone is painting with chalkboard paint and I am getting ready to too. I bought some paint last week and just need to get to it. Yours looks great!
It looks great Jennifer!!! And it IS addicting!!! I have done a few myself and always looking to add some somewhere, LOL! I'm toying with the idea of "chalkboardin'" my pantry door in the new house!! :)
Kristi
loooooooooooooooooooove it!
I haven't joined in and made something with challkboard paint yet but I will have to do it soon. Thanks for sharing you great projet. I am inspired to buy some paint.
Jennifer, this looks great! I am addicted to chalkboard paint too! It just makes everything look great. Welcome to the chalkboard paint club! Also, thank you for your nice comments on my garage sale finds!
Jennifer that is the cutest transformation ever!
Oh... that is soooo super cute!! Loved it.. I want a chalkboard now as well... :-)

Looks great, Jennifer~ Never thought of painting right over the print! I have a big old frame I plan to make into one, too!
I don't know what it is about chalkboard paint, but it makes everything cuter! That is a great frame. I've only done one thing, but now I want to do more! Have you discovered those chalk pens in blogland? They are great, not as messy as chalk. Linda
Oh I love it! I have been meaning to jump on the chalkboard bandwagon as well.;) Yours is beautiful, thanks for the inspiration!
Great job. I know how you feel about the chalkboard paint, if it sits in my house I will paint it with the chalkboard paint (just kidding) but I do paint many things with this paint--love it and love your new chalkboard!!
Jeanette
Very cute! I HAVE to do this craft soon!

You know I love chalkboard! I have a whole wall in my cafe' that is chalkboard!

I need to make my first one. I am seeing these all over blogland and I want one too. Love how you put yours on an easel. This is such an inspiring project and so easy. Nice seeing you on 504 Main.
Very cute and for just a few dollars it's even cuter!!! Great job!
That chalkboard is ADORABLE!!!!!!!
So great! Love this idea...now when i see a cute frame with a so so pic, I'll think Chalkboard!!
Yay! I did the entire back of my kitchen door. That's where I write out our weekly menu.
Love it! I wondered how easy that stuff was to work with. Your finished project is just fab! And I must agree...your sons are very handsome! I think they got some good genes! :o)
I enjoyed my visit to your blog. Wishing you happiness, Katherine
This post inspired my purchase of three frames at a flea market yesterday. I'm hoping for cooler weather next weekend because I want to paint them.
Have a great week! La
That is so cute! Love it!
Blessings,
Missy
Love the frame. I think I may just have to copy your project. It turned out so cute. I have yet to try chalkboard paint and I think this would be an easy project to start with. Thanks for sharing.
I am so glad you linked first!!! Good job and thanks for linking girlfriend !
That's a great transformation! I've been seeing the chalkboard craze in all the catalogs I receive as well. It's going to be big for some time I think. And I haven't done my first project yet!
Brenda
Jennifer, I love it! I painted a mirror with chalkboard paint and really like it too! I plan to show it off in blogland soon.
Jennifer, I just love the chalkboard look, and your project is adorable! Love the iron trim on top. Linda
Hi Jennifer, Your chalkboard turned out great. Now that you have done a chalkboard project you will be addicted. I am on the look-out constantly for cute things to make into chalkboards.
Hugs, Sherry

Good idea! This could work for a lot of things. I'm going to remember this one.
I have not done anything with chalkboard paint either, but after seeing your cute picture, I am ready to try it out myself. Yours turned out so cute!!! Thanks for sharing. Love & blessings from NC!
