A Repurposed Chalkboard from a Door


The old door headboard turned out great!



But you know how I hate to have left over pieces 
when I make a project.

This was the end of the door I cut off.


Hmmm.

The board slides out of here.


And the mitered trim pieces fit perfectly around it.


Hmmmmm....

Are you with me on this?


I used wood glue and clamps and glued the trim in place.


Then I painted the trim white.



And painted the center with chalkboard paint.


Then I used an old window chain to hang it from.




And a chalkboard ledge to hold the chalk.


And now the left over piece from the headboard is a chalkboard!




Waste not, want not!

  11. You are so good about using every last bit of things...I would have saved the piece...but it would probably sit in a pile for while :). Looks great! Laurel
