Because, who doesn't need another chalkboard?

And to think, I almost passed right by it...
One dollar. 
How fabulous.


And, after trying to figure out what to do on our porch this year,


I decided it'd be quite useful there.


So far...so good.

    Very cute. Can't go wrong with a chalkboard anywhere in the house, even the porch.

    I'm pretty sure everyone should have a chalkboard in every room. :) Love the curves!

      We actually just went ahead and put nails in the siding...the holes aren't all too big- so I don't think it's too much of a big deal if we were to take it off eventually...

      Thanks- We just built our house last year and I've been kinda terrified about hanging anything.

    This is such a great idea. I've seen many places this paint has been used, but an old table top is such a good one!

    You are so clever! Why have I not thought of turning a garage sale table top into a chalkboard??! The chalkboard possibilities are endless! Thanks for the great ideas!

    This is so cute. You are very creative and what a great ideal for the porch. I just recently tried my hand at making chalk board paint in different colors and made each of my grandkids a mini travel chalk board. Will be posting pictures on my blog soon. Thank you for sharing.

    I've thought of doing something like this on my porch -- you really pulled it off! I love the shape of this and that you had the vision to turn it into something so great.

    Holly,

    You are so creative! I certainly would have passed on that piece, instead of turning it into some fab and fun.

    I'm visiting from the Live Laugh Rowe linky party. I would love it if you stopped by my blog.

    Thanks for sharing,
