Upcycled Menu Board
It is very old, has a rusty old hinge at the top and dowel
pegs on one side to fit in as a table extension.
I thought if I stood it up on one end...
and stapled a piece of cotton ribbon between the pieces, it would open only partially...
I thought it would make a great menu board.
So I taped off the part I wanted to make into a chalkboard...
and drew and painted on the word "menu", then distressed it a little.
Now everyone at my next barbecue will know what's on
Bon Appetit!
