DIY Chalk Board

As I'm sure you have noticed chalk boards are very popular...I have been looking for just the right piece to transform and finally found it.  What better than a 1980's calendar frame!!!  As you can see it is UGLY so it needed some help!!!!
First thing I did was take the back off and painted the frame with Heirloom White..my favorite!!  Then I put 2 coats of chalk borad paint on the back.  Added a Longaberger basket and some flowers I already had and it's done!! (the flowers are not that large in preson!!)  I have it in my kitchen and we use it all the time to keep up with what we having going on!!!  And the best part is that the frame was $5 and I already had everything else!!!
