I got the frame from a consignment shop for $0.61 -- it was home to a water damaged picture that I promptly removed. The frame was still in perfect condition though, so I spray painted it white and then added a coat of some leftover light blue/grey paint that I had on hand.
While the frame was drying, I spray painted the glass with two coats of blackboard paint.
Once the frame was dry, I used a really fine grit sand paper to do some distressing and allow some of the white paint to show through.
Then I glued the glass back in the frame and that's it. Grocery list board = done!
Also, how cool are these chalk paint pens?!? No more screechy scratchy! I think I'm going to buy one next time I'm in Jackson or Ann Arbor.
