{Chalkboard Message Board}

*SOLD*

I would just like to start today by saying that I am so thankful for all of the encouraging emails and comments from the people who are reading this blog as well as from customers and friends ~ it really makes doing all of this that much more fun!

This is a great little number for helping to organize the clutter of mail, flyers and menus as well as adding some fun and flair to family messages and grocery lists.

It is a standard chalkboard thingy from Ikea. I found it about a month or so ago in a thrift store in serious need of some attention. I am not sure if it was missing some parts, but it looked pretty sad to me.

I refreshed the chalkboard area with a couple of coats of chalkboard paint as it was fairly scratched and worn. I painted the wood frame with a few coats of my favourite white and lightly distressed the edges. To add to the utility, I added some cork inserts to the front for small lists, pictures, tickets, etc.

I think it is pretty cute and has been made over into something a little nicer than the standard Ikea item.
