Chalkboard

So there was not a lot of crafting done around here today [and by not a lot I mean none]. I went to work, we went grocery shopping, came home for dinner, went to VBS meeting, and spent the rest of the time on the phone with photo clients and parents. Phew. Full day. I did however squeeze in some quick photos of the chalkboard I mentioned in yesterday's post! It is is so simple and not at all original [yet], but I still love it. I am thinking of what I will do to add to the pink, distressed framing, but I am not sure yet. That will be for a later date. 

The before:

[Just a little background: I am pretty sure I have had this since at least the 6th grade. The photo does not begin to show the extent of the scratches in the marker board surface..I had also painted it purple at some point]. 

This is the after: 

It is plain and simple, but I like it. I had two identical corkboards [the same size as this] hanging side by side, but I just replaced one of them. It worked out perfectly. I am glad I thought to do this before I got rid of my yard sale pile living in our basement! 

Be happy!
