Now that we're finally moved in, I was itching for the rain to stop so I could start a new project. I think if someone let me, I would paint chalkboard paint all throughout our house. I think I'm in love with the stuff!
I found this at a garage sale before we moved. It cost me all of ONE dollar.
Husband asked: "What's with the rabbit picture?"
I said: "Don't you know about my penchant for rabbits?" (tee, hee)
Huh?
No, not that I have anything against rabbits, but what I really wanted was the frame! Initially I was going to paint the frame off-white, but with our cream colored walls, I thought this contrast was good enough for now.

I do miss my HUGE chalkboard that Husband made for me in our last house, but we just don't have the wall space. S'Okay. I can roll with that.

This was a mini-project, but a good start. Today Husband and I will shop for paint for our youngest daughter's bedroom. Yipee!
I've linked up to Sarah's "Make Something Mondays" link party! Join the fun!

I love the idea! I want to make one for my house too. I will be keeping my eyes open at garage sales. Woohoo! Such a cute idea!
wow! very organised and superbly pretty :) i love it.xx
Great idea!!! Kisses and God bless u!
I'm completely obsessed with all the chalkboard paint projects out there and I have YET to buy myself a can! It's settled, I MUST get on the bandwagon.
Wow! I LOVE everything you've done with the chalkboard paint! I've seen a DIY recipe but I'm a little scared to try it.
Thanks for your comment on my blog, too! Hope you're able to enjoy the Fruit of the Spirit print!
I know there is chalkboard paint in a spray paint format, but I've had my can of paint for years and it still works! So I just use disposable foam brushes (8 for $1 at a dollar store) and there's no other cost!
oh, how the large calendar chalkboard would keep me sane, but i too do not have the space. wish.
What a transformation! That huge one in your previous house is amazing though!
That's such a great idea. Your's looks awesome. I love that your hubby thought you liked the rabit pic :)

My wife and I have recently started to change the look of our house and have been doing a lot of DIY projects. We've both seen and like the chalkboard paint, in the right place. I feel stupid asking such a basic question, but did you paint the chalkboard paint over the rabbit painting, or did you just use the frame???
Thanks!!!
