kitchen chalkboard

our kitchen was lacking a little color...a couple of cherry red tea towels and a tiffany blue utensil jar just wasn't cutting it...so i strolled up to the thrift store and bought an old ikea frame (for $4) to make a diy chalkboard. i painted the backside of the frame's backing with chalkboard paint and painted the frame a tiffany blue. once the board was dry, i created a white frame around the board using painter's tape. i cut the corners using scalloped scissors to add a tad more texture. the board went back in the frame and now i have a touch of color in the kitchen, and a great place to write down a list of needs. it's also a great place to leave
love notes:)
