Turn A Thrifted Frame Into A Chalkboard, step by step

When Bethany sent over her plain yet oh so chic message board project we had to share the goods. Anyone can do this in an afternoon to add function and beauty to a kitchen, office, mudroom, or more. Here is her letter:

Thank you so much for your upbeat positive attitudes and for all that you do to inspire creativity! I hoped to share a project that I completed a while back that was extremely plain, low-cost and totally Hands-on. I think it is a good fit for anyone who wants to feel more organized but does not want to sacrifice style. I spray painted a garage sale picture frame and used leftover chalkboard paint to paint the glass insert of the frame with a few thick coats (then I waited a while before using it to be sure it was fully cured). You can check out more step by step instructions on my journal. Thanks again for the lively site! – Bethany

Is not that a sweet and plain little frame facelift? Especially because she used a garage sale frame and extra chalkboard paint that she already had laying around! Thanks so much for sending the lively before & after pictures our way Bethany! Your message makes an organizational freak like me grin from ear to ear. Full disclosure: my mouth is in fact watering…
