Repurposed Table Top Chalkboard Project

This piece of wood used to be the top of one of those bedside tables that you cover with a skirt. Well, it collapsed under the weight of my Martha Stewart magazines.

So stipped the brackets for the legs off the bottom and apinted it with several coats of chalkboard paint.




I then found these 2 wooden cut-outs that looked like summer. And painted them bright blue.


I then drilled two holes in the round board and put ribbon through them to hang it on the door. I painted the wooden cut-outs to give them more definition. Glued those to the board. And added a screw eye with a ribbon and a piece of chalk tied to it.




This will hangon the front door of our summer house. The chalkboard will give us a way to leave messages for friends and for them to leave us messages as well.

Better than throwing that table away.
