My CHalkboard "Wreath" was featured over at WhisperWood Cottage

WhisperWood Cottage is hosting a Chalk Talk Linky Party as part of the 1 year anniversary of The DIY Club. There are 4 great linky parties going on.


I am so pleased that they featured my repurposed table that I turned into a "wreath" for the door at our summer home.

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.
