Do you all still love chalkboards, or do you think the craze is starting to pass?  I still love them, and don’t care if they are no longer “in”.  They are so “old “school”, which of course, I love.   worked on a few more chalkboard projects last week, but didn’t get them all photographed yet, but wanted to share this one.

I seriously don’t know how I accumulate so many old bed headboards, but I still have  few more in my workshop that I’ve never done anything with.  They are like stray puppies that follow me home.  I needed the posts from the side of this headboard to use on a tiered stand, so my husband cut those off, leaving me the main part of the headboard to work with.  This piece is identical to the chalkboard I made a few years ago, that included the legs.

I thought about turning it into a sign, but couldn’t decide what to put on it, so I made another chalkboard.  It looked fine, but the pretty shape seemed like it was asking for some other embellishment.

I loved the antique wreath graphic that I used on my seed bag pillow, and it seemed like the perfect shape for the sides of the headboard.  It came from an antique piano advertisement bookmark that I shared here.

I cut a vinyl stencil, then spent the next 20 minutes trying to get it placed correctly.  That’s always the part I like least about stenciling.  Once it looked right close enough, I gently sponged some white paint over it.

I distressed the edge, and a bit over the wreath image.  I’m thrilled how it turned out.  It’s available in my shop here.

    Hi Angie … cute welcome sign … I like the wreath on it. You are always so creative.
    Shipping those large items is not fun. Do you do you own packing?
    Have a great week.
    Hugs,
    Audrey Z. @ Timeless Treasures

    For me, they will never go out of style. I think they have become a new classic. I do love your stuff and hope to sell some things so I can buy for myself a little. I so love your style.

    I love your chalkboard and I agree with you that they are great! I just repurposed an old headboard too-into a coat rack. Have a good week!

    At every garage sale I went to last week, I was on the hunt for a headboard. I did see some, and I liked them but they all had that word on them that tells me I’m too late…. SOLD.
