A Kitchen Chalkboard - or two - or three ..................

I don't have much wall space in the kitchen .................

But I do have hutch space - and not one to ever leave anything clutter free I decided to create a chalkboard on the side of it !

A little picture molding - and voila - a place to keep notes ( and believe me this is going to come in very handy - since my memory is horrible these days )
This could so easily be done on a pantry door - or even a kitchen cabinet door ( if you HAVE to have a chalkboard and don't have wall space, that is LOL )

Since I painted the whole unit in chalkboard paint it was pretty easy - I put a coat of polyurethane over everywhere BUT the section I want to use as an actual chalkboard

And then because one wasn't enough - I painted an old clipboard I had

( I kept it open with a twist tie so I could paint under the clip )

I added a stencil ( with a chalk pen )

found a stand at the dollar store

Which was the perfect size to rest the clipboard on -

And then what the hay - while I was at the dollar store I found a cutting board with a hanger on top
for 2.00

And made one last one

probably a terrible cutting board - but it makes for a great little art piece

I added a hook to hang a whisk from

Okay I've got to beat it myself now - I have too many appointments and errands today and too many layers of clothing to put on to try and keep my core temperature at a level I can live with .............
Hoping this cold snap leaves soon - it's really been unbearable lately

I may hang a chalkboard from every piece of furniture I own LOL !!!

Have a wonderful day everyone !
Much love
Me
