In my opinion anyway.
It is no secret that I have a thing for chalkboards. They are part of my own home as well as a big seller down at my shop. The chalkboard in my kitchen is a permanent fixture.
I do not think I will ever change it. I made this one out of a cabinet door I found a Habitat Restore for a buck.
Now the one over our fireplace changes the most often, probably 4-5 times per year. It is an actual chalkboard, nothing I McGyvered together. Not that I’m above it my ANY means.
Lastly, this chalkboard on the front porch WAS McGyvered together. I was walking down the back hall at my Day Job one afternoon and noticed a pile of picture frames in with our cardboard ment for recycling. Long story short, all eight of them came home with me. This one became a chalkboard for our front porch.
I’m under the perpetual delusion that ANYTHING can be turned in to a chalkboard.
Today’s case in point:
I found these two wooden boards at my local Goodwill. Let’s start with that pig cutting board.
It had me at the price tag.
I dug $1 out if the bottom of my purse in change. I thought the shape would be fun for a kitchen chalkboard. Two coats of Rustoleum black chalkboard paint later and here’s how it came out:
I love that little tail. And I love what fun this is in a kitchen for a buck! You can not beat that.
No math involved.
No Rocket Science here either. Just $1 and a couple of brushfuls of paint.
I see boards like these quite often when I’m out hitting my favorite Thriftshops, always for just a few dollars. The possibilities are endless!
Try one.
Have fun,
Paige

I love that. It's so cute. Who says chalkboards have to be standard frame shaped?

Enjoyed seeing all your chalkboards and that new pig one is adorable!
your love of chalkboards matches my own. never thought of pig cutting boards, but will be on the lookout for them now.
Hi Paige,
I am loving that pig in the kitchen! Super cute! I agree about chalkboards. I use them all the time, over and over again in the parties I throw. They make for quick decorating!
Thanks for sharing and linking up at #TALENTEDTuesday.
Cheers,
