I found this frame at a yard sale this summer for $10. When I saw it I knew I had to get it. I had a vision and when you have a vision you must act on it.
Although I loved the blue color I didn’t have a place in my home that it would go and I have been wanting to turn my bonus room into a black and red UGA themed room
So I bought a can of UGA red sample paint at Home Depot and got to painting. If you didn’t know you can buy a sample can of paint of any brand and any color and it is less than $2. There is more than enough paint to paint a few coats of a color on practically any piece of furniture or household craft. I buy these sample colors all the time and would highly recommend them.
After painting my frame I bought a piece of plywood and a can of black spray paint and cut a piece of plywood to fit onto the back of the frame. I then spray painted the plywood with chalkboard paint and attached it to frame.
Last but not least I hung my new creation in my bonus room. I am very pleased with my vision. What do you guys think?
Very cute! Love the detail and color of the frame. I love chalkboards! I'm in the process of making one right now, actually!
