Is there anything that doesn't make a great chalkboard? My latest chalkboard creation is a vintage skate box that I made into a chalkboard and shelf!
I grabbed this gorgeous red skate box from an estate sale. Saturday is usually half price day. I never go on Fridays! I just love the color on this and the old metal hinges and details are fantastic!
Just check out that worn handle!
To turn this box into a shelf, I first cut 2 pieces of 2x4 and attached them to the top of the lid. That way, when the box is open, the lid sits nicely against the wall. I painted the 2x4 pieces in Graphite.
I painted some Surfboard from American Paint Company on the inside of the box.
Your comments make me smile :) 'Til next time!
