Anyone remember these dishes from Pottery Barn a while back? I couldn't find them on their site anymore, but I did track down this picture. I always figured I could make my own, but I could never find any dishes the right size (and cheap enough for me) at Goodwill.
Then, while packing up Christmas a few weeks ago I came across this plastic $1 store tray that we haven't used in years. Lightbulb moment!
I gave the whole thing a couple of coats of spray chalkboard paint.
And then I painted a white frame around it. I don't have the steadiest hand, but I went slowly. I think it's alright!

That turned out wonderfully! I definitely need to get some chalkboard spray paint--very cool! And I love how it looks framed in white! I'm pinning this too!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I think this is genius!! I've been wanting a small-ish chalkboard and seeing so many that cost too much money. You've just inspired me to make my own! I'm your newest follower- I'd love for you to stop by my blog and follow me back if you'd like.

I love this!! Never would have thought to do this in a million years. Off to get some chalkboard paint! Found your blog today, and I'm your newest follower.
ReplyDeleteWow, how cute (and simple and inexpensive)!! I spend a few too many dollars at PB, so it's nice to save some money and recreate it at home. Thanks for the great inspiration!
