Did you hear about the big Pinterest Party at Michaels Craft Stores?

My day and my project began with a walk around the neighborhood and a great find!  Wow! Another great find just sitting out for the garbage man. Last week I found another fabulous find! It's been some great week for vintage treasures.

Repurposed kitchen cabinet door projects!  Day made!  A friend called me with a curb alert... well actually it was more like a store alert.  Someone was throwing out the contents of their cabinet store... did I want it? 😳 I was soon on my way and filled up my car. I could have filled up a truck but I had to draw the line somewhere. 
Some of the cabinets were wall displays with doors that opened.  For this project, I removed the door and drawer front from the frame. I'm only going to use the frame this time. I glued and nailed the drawer front to the bottom of the frame. 
Next, I cut a piece of pre-made chalkboard from the hardware store to fit the door space.  I glued and nailed the chalkboard onto the back of the larger space.  This cabinet is a beautiful natural wood color with a clear fini…

This project began with another repurposed kitchen 
cabinet door. 
A repurposed cabinet door and a piece of chalkboard I found at Tuesday Morning, a store by me that has a little of everything. 
The first thing I needed to do was to choose a color for my cabinet door and since I love green I decided on a chalky paint by DecoArt that would be the perfect "garden green". 
I stenciled a bee from the DecoArt stencil Americana Decor Collection onto the chalkboard in white so it looked like chalk but would always be there. I then cut the chalkboard to fit the center of the cabinet door and used wood glue to adhere it. 
The bee came in a pack of 2 stencils with a couple of cute bird stencils. 
Once I glued the chalkboard into the center of the cabinet door I added a Scrabble ledge to hold th…

When I had a long thin piece of chalkboard leftover from another project  I needed to think of a creative way to use it...

I'm repurposing an old frame today and creating a display for a few of my favorite things.

Today's project is one of my favorites!

These wood slices didn't start out as you might think.

This pretty round chalkboard started out this  process a little scary!

Today I'm making good use of the parts from  a very unusual old trunk I found on the side of the road.

Message centers are great to hang in your home.

I've been busy lately making and selling message centers.

This chalkboard was pieced together from a few different broken tables.

If you love making chalkboards like I do you're  going to love these helpful hints...

Here is a mirror I've had for a while. It's been painted a few different colors but now is repurposed into the perfect farmhouse kitchen chalkboard.

This one is for all you chalkboard lovers out there.

I love green chalkboard, it's so vintage...

Today I'm combining my love of chalkboards with my love of Christmas!

I cut a green chalkboardinto 1" strips then cut them into lengths that would create a triangle or Christmas tree shape.

I hot glued the chalkboard strips to a stained paint stick.
Then added a rusty star to the top and a length of jutefor a hanger.




And the best part is that you can write on the chalkboard strips! I used an erasable chalk marker.
