BEFOREThis was our phone area the other day...lacking...what to do, what to do? I know! I will turn this panel into a chalkboard...makes sense. I am always looking for pen and paper.
Step 1- Remove the ugly keys hanger that came with the house.
Step 2- Give the panel a light sand to give the paint something to key to.
Here is the paint I used. Water based, no fuss...brilliant!Step 3- Paint on 2 thin coats with drying time between.
Step 4- Once dry, rub white chalk over entire board. Then rub it all in with a dry cloth for that softer, used, school board look.
Step 5- Hang small cup hooks to hang our keys from and test out with a few messages that I had better not forget!
Step 6- Put everything back......and add my 'new' Bakelite phone that Mum brought on the plane with her..yay!
Isn't it great? Still needs a good shining and clean, but I think it is just perfect for this space and goes so well with our old home.
Voila!! project done.
