Cabinet door to shabby chic chalkboard.

Hey! This is my very first post to this crafty blog of ours. My first project is a chalkboard I made out of a kitchen cabinet door. Here is the "before" picture of the door that I'll be turning into the chalkboard.

I got this cabinet door from my good friend Nancy who has a son remodeling his kitchen. I paid her $5 for the door. I left the hinges on for added character.

I forgot to get a picture with just the chalk board paint on it. I taped off the the trim and spray painted the chalkboard paint. I'm not much of a spray painter so after a couple coats of the spray I added a couple layers of actual chalboard paint. After that dried I did the opposite. I covered the chalboard paint and spray painted the white trim. I'm not a fan of the spray paint so I think I'll bush on paint the next time. You do whatever you like. The spray pain cost me about $5.99 and the chalkboard paint was $3.99 both at Hobby Lobby.

If you know me, you know I like things "antiqued" so of course I had to rough the edges a bit and Voila, You now have a new chalkboard! I added a knob down at the bottom in the center but I forgot to get a picture of that too. I'm new at this blog thing... Hopefully I'll get a little better. Enjoy!
