I have a sweet friend that hooked me up with some awesome window frames.
(The frame in the center was recently remade into a chalkboard. You can see it here.)
Anyway, it's not everyday that I run across arched window frames. This one was begging for a chalkboard.
So I started by painting it Provence.
I had the hubster cut a board to fit and I painted it with chalkboard paint.
It was only fitting that I put some kind of quote on it before taking it into the shop. So I tried this one.
Love the quote, but I'd say the lettering was a failure!
That's the beauty of a chalkboard - erase and try again.
I found inspiration from this piece of chalkboard art, so I sat in the floor and whipped this out.
Ok, I'm in love now!
I'm thinking this one may stay at the house a while!
It's only appropriate that it displays with the adorable trike that I bought this weekend. My grandsons are going to love that!
Sharing at some awesome parties
That is just gorgeous Cyndi!!!
ReplyDeleteI have an arched wood frame from an old hutch that I may try this on - ( it's warped and will not go back on the hutch properly so I just have it leaning on a mirror - but this would be perfect )
Beautiful Job!
What a fantastic idea, and this chalkboard looks great!
ReplyDeleteoh, cyndi, i love your artwork!! i have the twin to your window, but, don't have the talent to do the artwork--just awesome:)
ReplyDeleteLove that arched top, Cyndi! You find such great frames for these projects. I was even thinking what a great sign it would make. You know, for someone who has a booth. ; ) Your chalk lettering is much better than mine. I just rewrote on mine when I moved it into my kitchen. If I decide to make a permanent text, I might just get stencils and paint it.
ReplyDeleteAwesome chalkboard. LOVE the arched frame!
