{diy : chalkboard}

my latest obsession is finding an old frame to make a giant chalkboard for my entryway in my town home. yesterday- i found one at thrift king! on sale for 8.99 and such good quality. ever since i saw these gorgeous chalkboards on pinterest- i've been dying to make my own. thanks to my husbands help for getting the mirror out, we successfully made the most beautiful yellow chalkboard, which currently has various christmas words :) i cannot wait to use it for checklists & inspiration quotes. i sort of want to make more & smaller ones for photo sessions.
