Semi-gloss cloud white for the trim - 2 coats for both trim and chalkboard
*You are going to see a lot of textbooks in the next few posts - thank goodness for education!
We already did a chalkboard when we made the basement into an office - quite appropriate for a teacher! I thought that having one in the kitchen would be good as well. The basement I use for my "to-do" lists for house projects, but this one would be for groceries, and reminders for plans and just cute notes between married people. So when Matt was at Home Depot a few weeks ago, he bought a flat piece of wood, nothing fancy, and some trim, and the project began! The only "before" picture of the wood and trim, among other reno items Matt primed the board - very important with the chalkboard paint, even though it's black! Although the trim is sort of white to start, we still primed and painted them. It was raining, so I had to paint upstairs while Matt used the saw downstairs Semi-gloss cloud white for the trim - 2 coats for both trim and chalkboard Super strong glue to hold trim to board...held down overnight by textbooks *You are going to see a lot of textbooks in the next few posts - thank goodness for education! Finished product! Quite similar to the basement one but a bit smaller. Here's the trim on the basement board - a bit of a braided look to it ...and the kitchen chalkboard frame - see - they are slightly different! The finished product! Now to write my grocery list...
