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.

ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome transformation!! I love it!!

ReplyDeletethis one is a keeper, would be hard to give up to sell!
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful. I have been buying chalkboards recently. A lot of kids these days do not know what they are:}
ReplyDeleteI love this project, what a creative idea.
ReplyDeleteCynthia
That's a great makeover, Kathy! I love that graphic, used it myself on a chalkboard, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! I used that graphic on a chalk board, as well. It sold right away!! I'm sure yours will, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful transformation of your chalkboard, Kathy, and what a perfect graphic you used for the top!
ReplyDeleteThis piece was just waiting for you, Kathy. Nice redesign.
ReplyDeleteLooks 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.
ReplyDeleteThis turned out wonderful! LOOOVE the SIZE of this board! Re-purposing at its BEST! Roxie
ReplyDeleteAnother fantastic make-over Kathy! I love the Menu graphic on top. Enjoy your evening, Gail
ReplyDeleteThe chalkboard looks wonderful, Kathy!
