Finally! I get to use the great Menu graphic from The Graphics Fairy. I have had this saved for so long waiting for a project I could use it on.
I found this chalkboard at Goodwill the same day I found the bulletin board.
Very cute the way it is, but it’s getting a makeover.
I painted it in Old White chalk paint and then highlighted the outside area {where it had been a brownish gold previously} with some Provence. Here it is paint dry, image added and ready for some wax!
I did the Mod Podge transfer method for adding the Menu graphic to the top.
Here she is with clear and dark wax. The chalkboard freshly wiped.
All ready to go to someone’s home!
Before and After side by side.

Now that's a really awesome makeover. What a perfect place to use the graphic.
Lovely, it looks much better than before, and great vision on it. I especially like your menu for the whole week. Great choices! Thanks for letting me know you liked my Autumn Hydrangea Wreath!

Kathy, I love your chalkboard! What a great piece! I love Provence; it's the perfect accent color! I love the way you update this!
I love that menu graphic too! It looks gorgeous now!

Great job! I need to give this a try. I have about 15 graphics printed out with my inkjet but I have to go and get them copied at Kinkos so the ink doesn't run. I keep forgetting to get them copied!
Hi Kathy,
That is an awesome transformation!! I love it!!

That turned out wonderful!
That is so super cute...love it!
this one is a keeper, would be hard to give up to sell!
That is wonderful. I have been buying chalkboards recently. A lot of kids these days do not know what they are:}
I love this project, what a creative idea.

That's a great makeover, Kathy! I love that graphic, used it myself on a chalkboard, too. :)
I love it! I used that graphic on a chalk board, as well. It sold right away!! I'm sure yours will, too!
What a beautiful transformation of your chalkboard, Kathy, and what a perfect graphic you used for the top!
This piece was just waiting for you, Kathy. Nice redesign.
Looks great! I tried the mod podge transfer method and didn't have very good luck. I probably did something wrong. Your menu graphics were perfect for this one.
This turned out wonderful! LOOOVE the SIZE of this board! Re-purposing at its BEST! Roxie

So great you saw the potential....I love it and so will someone else! Oh by the way my step stools were $3-$4 dollars, I too have seen them for $20 unfinished?
