Chalkboard paint and all of its amazing applications have been around the block a few times. And I am still in love with it. Most of us are spraying the glass of a frame to make a cute chalkboard. But the other day I fell in love with a wall of white empty frames at Hobby Lobby. Have you seen these? They are ornate and quite heavy and they are completely empty. I heart all of them. I have been hanging empty frames in my home for years now and love the look. But I bought a couple of little guys with the idea of making chalkboards out of them. Here is how I did it: 
…………………………………. step number one 
……………………………….….step number two Hobby Lobby sells these little pieces of craft wood. Very inexpensive and easy to cut to size. After measuring the inside of the frame, I used a utility knife to score the wood where it needed to be cut. After going over it a couple of times, the extra wood just popped right off. 
…………………………………step number three 
……………………………………step number four 
………………………………….step number five Start to style away. It was a very simple way to turn an empty frame into a chalkboard. And here it is again tucked into our basket on the front porch. 
The wire basket and raffia pumpkin are from HomeGoods. To add a little color I simply cut a few leaves from a garland I had and tucked them into the pumpkin. 
I made two of these chalkboards and I will eventually use them in my children’s bathroom. I have big plans for these little chalkboards. But for now, one of them is helping to greet guests during the fall season. Have you set out any décor out front? What are you cooking up for fall? m a k e i t a g o o d d a y.

Such a darling little project! I am so going to pop over one of these days to take it all in {and then we can finally have our glass of wine!} 😉
Super cute!
Love this basket! The chalkboard is too cute! And what a good looking couple you and your hubby are! We are big believers in the power of a regular date night!
Oh this is fall perfection at its finest! A truly cozy vignette.
While we don't have much fall here in Phoenix I would love for you to stop by to see where I did find a bit of fall.
Have a blessed day!
Now that is just adorable Courtney! Looks so good!!
So pretty Courtney and a perfect way to welcome in Fall!
What a perfect Fall welcome.
AWWWWWW! Aren't those little chalkboards just the sweetest little things!!! I love how then they can be another element to whatever vignette you're creating, so perfect!
I could think of a million uses for this little framed chalkboard. The first that comes to mind is I would write a menu for a special meal and put in the kitchen for guests to see what is being served. Super cute!
These are just adorable! HL, here I come!
