Vintage Chalkboard Love!



I have a new fascination with old vintage chalkboards.  And, it turns out, they are super easy to make yourself!  All you need is an old framed picture or canvas, some spray paint and some chalkboard paint.  I got my frame for $10 at the local thrift store, spray painted the frame gold and painted the canvas with chalkboard paint.  Super easy!  I also had some framed oil paintings that were left to us from our great aunt.  They were nice oil paintings, just not really my style.  I decided to turn them into chalkboards too!  I figured Aunt Dorothy would rather me use her frames that let them sit in the garage gathering dust.  Right?
