QOTD

This is a short post today, folks!  

In an attempt to continue to decorate the empty space above my kitchen cabinets I had purchased a BOGO 50% off frame. 

(I used the first three here... which was really the original intent of the purchase anyway!)

And had one remaining and mismatched frame. 

In lieu of having a nice 8x10 photo readily available to frame, I instead made my own chalkboard art!

Since it was for the kitchen this quote was more than appropriate!

Here's the whole of the 'above the kitchen cabinet' area:

...Always a work in progress! 

I found my chalkboard background and fonts here.

Getting your chalkboard to POP!

I finished a project a few months ago where I turned an old mirror we had laying around into a chalkboard- with the intent of increasing my signage in the kitchen.

I thought it would be so great to change out the sign seasonally or for a birthday- you know, or any special occasion. The only problem was when I couldn't SEE what I had creatively drawn on the sign from 6 feet below it....wah wah.....

In a matter of trying to come up with solutions I was close to purchasing some Expo bright sticks, erase able chalk markers when I came up with a last ditch effort before I spent the money on the new markers.

I had some old chalk pastels hidden away in a drawer from my high school art class, likely used only once!  And to my surprise, they worked perfectly!! 

I'm so happy with it and plan to change mine each season!  Good Luck with your project!
