How to Make a DIY Upcycled Chalkboard

I recently found a very ugly picture in  a really beautiful frame.

Luckily... My Valspar free sample came today!
I popped out the picture and gave the frame a coat of white. 


The frame looks beautiful in white!



Then I painted the backing board that was inside the frame with chalkboard paint.



I let the paint dry, and then rubbed the side of the  chalk over the board and erased it, this keeps the chalk  writing from staining the chalkboard.

And the result is an awesome chalkboard in a beautiful white frame! 


I hope you enjoyed this project and you'll take a look at my Amazon Shop for craft supplies I recommend. Also while you're here please sign up for the Homeroad emails on my sidebar so I can send my latest DIY post straight to you. 

How to Make a French Welcome Sign

Bienvenue! My Valspar sample came today!



I got a free paint sample of my choice, a roller and a plastic tray! I wasted no time trying it out.


I'm making a French welcome sign.
First I painted the board... I printed out the word bienvenue in a font I loved and traced it onto the wood.
Then I hand painted the word and gave it a good sanding and distressing. Next I gave it a coat of Poly for protection.
And now it's ready to hang just about anywhere!
And my personal favorite!



Bienvenue!

Make A Wish Foundation Bedroom

My daughter had the pleasure and privilege to have her wish granted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

If you ever get a chance to donate to this wonderful charity please do so... The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants wishes to children who have life-threatening medical conditions. 


My youngest daughter Kenley has Cystic Fibrosis and had her wish of a room make-over granted. Cystic Fibrosis is a life threatening, chronic disease that effects the lungs and digestive systems of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States.


A room make-over was her wish, to have a beautiful space she could call her own. To have privacy and comfort where she could watch television and do her treatments. The Make-A-Wish Foundation made this come true for her.


To say that Make-A-Wish was generous is an understatemen…

Numbered Clay Tags

I saw some cute clay tags made by Vintage Sky I thought I'd try them with my own spin.

Rusty Tools for Decorating

I found these awesome rusty tools in my garage!

They belonged to my father-in-law. First I hung a couple and I liked them so much that I added more.


I will admit it, not everyone sees the beauty in rust.


But the history and the obvious wear-and-tear on each one is a story in itself.


How hard he must have worked with some of these tools. He even built my husband's family home. 

What else did he build? What did he fix in his home?





I'm really proud to hang them up in my craft room to honor the craftsman of days gone by. They inspire me.


And besides... I love rust, it's my favorite patina!
