I had so much fun making the tray for our coffee table, that I had to do another project with another cabinet door!
I started with this big cabinet door from Restore. It was $2 and needed some serious sanding.
After sanding it down and spraying it a fresh white, I taped off the middle and used chalkboard paint to fill it in.
The paint goes on super streaky but does not dry that way. I think I did three coats.
Once it cured for a day, I smeared chalk all over it, wiped it off and it was ready to go!
Because I couldn't find (okay, I didn't look; I just wasn't in the mood! Ha!) wood filler to take care of the holes in the door, I made some burlap rosettes to hide the holes. :)
I hung the chalkboard with large Command strips (I love, love, love Command strips!).
This is a before picture, since I took down the plate rack to hang the chalkboard.
It was just time for a change. :)
And now...
We have a cute chalkboard to use for messages, menu ideas or drawings!
Aside from the door, I had the paint, the burlap and the Command strips, so I'd say it was a deal!

Cute, Jill! And I love the rosettes!! I think laziness paid off with that one :-)
So cute! LOVE chalkboard paint! Getting ready to paint part of my pantry door with some, as a matter of fact!
I love your burlap accents, too. :-)
Found your blog on Just a Girl - and it looks like we have a lot in common!
We have a 2 1/2 year old little girl - and I'm also a teacher (working half-time kindergarten).
Awesome to meet you here!
Looking forward to following along,
