personalized chalkboards for my boys

This week I decided to enter the CSI project challenge. I've had this project on my to do list for almost a year so this gave me the extra push to start and finish it.

I've had these cabinet doors for a while now and had always planned on painting the fun colors and making a chalkboard out of them.





My kids love to draw so I decided I would make them each their own chalkboard. Here is the final project...


I added a drawer pull that I turned upside down to make a nice resting spot for the chalk when not in use...



I personalized each one with my kids' initials...



Distressing each one will also help hide wear and tear over everyday use...



The other two...







And even though he is just over 2 months old, the baby has one waiting for him to enjoy also...





I love how they turned out and the boys are so excited to draw on them... (the chalkboard paint has fully cured yet so until tomorrow they are only for viewing)...

I have cabinets just like those that I just replaced in my kitchen. The stack of doors has been sitting in my hallway thinking of a project I can do with them. What a great idea. I am thinking of adding hooks somehow to the bottom of mine to hold keys as well.... Thanks for the inspiration!

Ok...those are awesome! I've been looking to make a chalboard for the longest time, but I haven't been able to find that perfect mirror or picture frame to use and here you go and make (multiple!) gorgeous chalkboards from old cabinet doors. Why doesn't my mind work this way?! Great job: )
Using the cabinet pulls upside down is an INSPIRED idea! Thanks for sharing.
Soooo cute! I love that idea. Thanks for linking up to my party. I can't wait to see what else you do. I am your newest follower.
