It was very, very, dog ugly. The board was green and the wood tray portion was brown. It was trashed. I was so excited to transform it that I forgot to take a before picture.
I cleaned it up, well blew off the dust, ok?
Sprayed on some chalkboard black paint and
then painted the rest white.
See the little hooks at the top? It will be easy to hang.
I'm going to put it in my sewing room.
It would also be great in a mudroom or at the backdoor entry
for family notes and messages.
Isn't it great?

What a find. It turned out very cute.
Love it Sissie. You did a good job.
You have a great eye Sissie. The chalkboard sounded pretty bad before your makeover...looks wonderful now.

What a great find and redo project. Perfect!
Hey Sissie
You know what I was thinking about those waffle towels...You can iron on those monograms you find in the fabric store. KNow the ones Im talking about? They would look great too~
Sissie,
Another very cool thrift find! I just read your last couple of posts & all I can say is...the silver is sweet but that smile is BeauTiFul!!! Lisa
I found an amazing Shabby Chic Chalkboard for $100 at an Antique Mall. I love the great frame, etc. But...I'm waiting for it to go on sale! :) Aren't they just GREAT?
Love to you~

OMG... we are two of a kind for sure Sissie.
Found you through your comment at Orphaned Decor in Spokane Wash. How I found her I have no idea. Strange how we meet.
I LOVE your spirit, your energy...oh and your SMILE. I can see in your pics that your beautiful face wasn't showing any teeth..and there they are!!!! You are a very happy camper, I can tell.
Now your booth, and your home are just divine to say the least. I have no idea where you are, but I'm sure it's far from me. I'm in Canada.
Yup Canada, too far right?
Well just stopped in to say hello.
Love your sweet blog and your fur babies. I have 9 of them!!!!!
Have a great week
Love Claudie

it's fabUlous just like you doll!
Great little find. Cleaned up nicely and will be a great addition to your sewing room. Have a great week. :) Tammy
Lovely!! What kind of chalkboard spray paint did you use?
It looks fabulous!Aren't you lucky to have come across it and brilliant to know how to transform it!
You are a magical shopper, Sissie! I can't get over your finds, the prices you pay and the changes you make to turn them into treasures!
Well played! Bravo!!!
very cool sissie! don't you just love thrift shops!
I have a love for chalkboards. When I was a kid I had one and I spent hours playing with it each week. It was one of my favorite things. Your cute-refurbished chalkboard makes me think of that. The nice part about yours is the little tray at the bottom. Very useful!
Sissie,
Beautiful chalk board. I love that you can see the potential in something.. I need to work on that ..see things for what they could be.
Blessings!

It is great! I have my green chalk board from when I was a kid. I really need to do something with it...but I don't have a place to put it!
A gorgeous finished product Sissie....I just love this.....it looks like something from the pages of a Pottery Barn magazine.
Happy day!

Wow, this is a great find! I love chalkboards! Not sure why...but I just do! Have a great day.
Blessings,

Sissie, First let me just say this - coming over here is sooo much fun and very uplifting... I enjoy coming over to see you.
Your chalkboard is cute and I can imagine the shape in was in before you did your magic. The thing I like most about it is the open storage shelf on the bottom of it.
Until next time- TaTa
Love your chalkboard. Goodwill is one of my favorite places to shop. The board will be lovely in a sewing room. Love the white.
What a lovely idea-I remember our big green chalkboard in the hall between the kitchen and living room. We kids used it all the time-And Mom kept in touch on it too. Love your blog! Sherry
I love it! Another beautiful creation!
SISSIE, THANKS FOR VISITING MY BLOG AND LETTING ME KNOW. YOUR CHALK BOARD TURNED OUT BEAUTIFUL. IT'S SO FUN MAKING A SILK PURSE OUT OF A SOW'S EAR! (THAT'S WHAT MY MOM USED TO SAY WHEN SOMEHTING WAS IMPROVED!) LOL.....AND YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL SMILE!

You are a lady after my own heart. I love such finds. And what a great idea to put it in your sewing room. It might also work well near your computer. You made it look so nice.

Geez girl...you find the most awesome stuff. It's a good thing I don't live near you...we'd be serious enemies!!!!

I just love Good Will! I also love your blog, just gorgeous!
Beautiful chalkboard! What a find!!! It will enjoy a happy life in your sewing room. My husband found me an enormous chalkboard that he rescued from the garbage, it's a favorite in our house. I can't imagine life without it.
