Ugly Picture Makeover

Before

You will see from this post where this beauty came from. Not my taste, but I could see the potential.

After

I have been doing some rearranging and decided that a chalkboard would work in my dining room. I had all of the paint on hand, so this project didn't cost me anything but a few hours of time.

I really wanted to just spray paint the frame, but it wasn't working so I had to get out the gallon of white trim paint and brush. It still didn't take that much time.


Have you ever made a chalkboard?

Here are a few tips.
-remove backing and take the the glass out of the frame
-clean the glass really well
-sand and paint frame
-spray chalkboard paint on the front of the glass (it will take several coats)
-reassemble and tape the back of the frame back up.
