Look at this beauty...
My friend Misti was selling it at her garage sale. I took it off her hands for a transformation.
Come along the journey from 80's southwest to antiqued and up to date.
First I applied a primer over the whole thing. This is a good time to paint the frame too.

Next step I taped off the glass which is now a chalkboard surface from the frame.
Yes I had a little spot to touch up.
To finish it up I took some stain and rubbed the edges for an antiqued took. Misti has her kitchen cabinets glazed like the frame.
Viola... now she's got a great chalkboard! From Trash to Treasure... I've always wanted to say that.

Great job. What color is the frame?
The frame is a cream color with a brown glaze to match her cabinets.
I had no idea you could use chalkboard paint on glass. That is awesome - I'll look for an old picture at the thrift store.
Nice work girl
That is so great! You are so talented! I finally took spray paint pictures of the flower pots I did. Now, to find the time to post them on my blog!
I love the cream with glaze!

This is great! I actually have two pictures that are ready to be redone and this would be a great transformation for them. Did you spray right over the glass then?
I love this idea! Chalk Board paint is one of my favorite Diy projects...it's so darn easy isn't it? Thanks for linkin' up to Frugalicious Friday...I can't wait to see more of your fabulous finds!
