so while project #1 is on a brief hiatus, project #2 got a little facelift. i saw some super cool chalkboards made from old vintage frames on design sponge a little while back and decided to do something similar. found this little ditty at the thrift store
removed the print, gave the frame a new shade of yellow and added a piece of sheet metal sprayed with chalkboard paint. now it resides in our laundry room right as you come in from the garage. a nice cheery welcome and a fun place for love notes. loving it!

Love it !! And, love you got the drawers to go under your washer/dryer. We have the white Maytag front loaders and couldn’t get the pedestal drawers because I also have white cabinets above and they wouldn’t fit by just a few inches 🙁 Anyways, love the chalkboard idea !
way cute, love it! i also love your color coordinated props for your photo 😉 your awesome. can’t wait to see the dresser!
LOVE it!!!!
Your home is so warm and cozy. That sign is the perfect intro. to the rest of your lovely home…feelin so welcome!
I *LOVE* this idea!
i am going through some nesting as well…even though i am not pregnant. i am refinishing a dresser and a hutch as well, hopefully it won’t be too hard. i love the chalkboard idea, i might have to steal that, i have a lot of blank walls around here.
What a brilliant idea!! I so wanna do something like this. Thanks for sharing! Love your style and colors too btw!
Gosh, I tried re-using some old frames and found that the paint won’t adhere as I’d like. Any tips?
rebecca…i sprayed the frame with a coat of primer before i used the color. don’t know if you already tried that but so far i haven’t had any problems. hope that helps!!
total cuteness
coveting the w/d that you have too!!
Can I ask where you found that cheery rug? I love it!
