Pink chalkboard paint

I found this cutie-patootie- pink chalkboard paint at Michaels the other day.


I turned this $5 garage sale mirror into a chalkboard for my daughters room.

I really didn't want to paint over the mirror- so I removed it and turned it to the backside and painted over that. If I ever decide I want the mirror again, I can just switch it back!



Meanwhile, I'm in the middle of repainting all this:
these were also garage sale finds: $35 desk, $25 desk & hutch




My garage looks like a furniture warehouse.
Head on over to Rhodas Southern Hospitality for more fun finds.

My $1 chalkboard

Out on one of my garage sale hunts I came across this magnolia tin tray for $1. Im sure in a former life it was "in style".


I was about to pass it up but my friend from WeAreTHATFamily- reminded me it would make a great chalkboard- there were two, so we each got one. I decided to use it as a Welcome sign for the front porch. I drilled two holes in the top & added ribbon. You could even change out the ribbon for the seasons. The black knob-thing its hanging from is an old door knob- I spray painted it black- filled it will floral foam and stuck it over a nail head- cute eh?

Move over spray paint.....

Move over spray paint cuz there is a new love in my life.
