I love frames. I especially love if I can re-purpose a frame to make a fun little accent piece in a very unexpected way.I was blog perusing one day a couple of months ago and I saw a cute idea for a menu plate for a kitchen that was made out of an old metal plate and some chalk board paint.
The problem?
I don’t remember which blog.
If I remember correctly, I even commented to the blogger about how cute this was. Still can’t remember the name of the blog.
So I was in Goodwill the other day and I saw this cute frame:
When spray painting with chalkboard paint, you really need about 3-4 coats before it works with the chalk.
Add some chalk and you have a mini menu board.
I wish I had prettier handwriting.
Next time I will let my 6th grader write the menu.
Cost breakdown time:
-Frame– 99 cents at Goodwill.
-Chalkboard Paint– (already had but it will cost you five bucks at Home Depot or Lowes)
-Chalk– (again, already had but will cost you a dollar at Dollar Tree)
Total cost for me– 99 cents!!
Total cost if you had none of these items– $ 6.99!!
I love, love, cookies! Great Job with the Menu Board- and yes, you do love your frames! Love,Your Supportive Hubby

I wrote a comment this morning, but errored out, so hopefully you aren't getting this twice …Funny you shared the story about the flowers! We had a few flowers in a vase last week and on Monday, we were down to one lonely hydrangea, which looked silly in the bigger vase. I looked on my kitchen windowsill and saw my grandma's blue mason jar, which I just love, and thought it would be a pretty vase and BAM! So cute!

@ Amanda-That banner is thanks to your blog post about doing it yourself, so I should thank you. And for introducing me to Picasa which I love so much now. 🙂 @ Kristy-I know, mason jars make it look like summer. 🙂
