I have been dying for my very own chalkboard for ages. I recently made this little guy out of an old $5 frame from a second hand shop.
This was my first try at it. Next time I will go for a larger, more ornate rectangle or oval frame. I didn't have the space in my condo for one that size... Dare to dream :)
The oval stenciled frame is cute but you can do any design you want! I think a calender or a lined notepad would be cute.
I am going up to Kelowna for my boyfriends family reunion. There are several theme nights so I will have plenty of fun posts when I return.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

i just finished a large chalkboard and ornate frame for our kitchen. if only i could get the farmhouse table and chairs sitting in our garage painted i could do some updated photos of our not so long ago updated kitchen. constant changes around here. ;)
have fun on your weekend away!
It sounds like SO much fun! I bet you will have a blast at the lake. Can't wait to hear all about it! :)

p.s. cute chalkboard, too!
Very Cute! Did you stencil that ornate frame onto the chalkboard surface yourself? I like it alot, it reminds me of this chalboard sheet from Paper-Source. Enjoy your holiday!

It looks fab!!! I'm going to 'steal' your idea if you don't mind ; ) lol.

...yeah Kelowna...have fun!
I'm back! What a good time :) I bought the stencil but threw away the packaging. I wonder if it was from the same company.

This is cute! Making a chalk board is on my list of things to do -- still hunting for the perfect frame, though :) Thanks for the inspiration!
