When I brought home my hoard of antique windows recently, and did some dumpster diving in the salvage that was torn out of a very old building, I found a lovely old cabinet door buried in the dumpster.
The inset panel made it perfect for converting into a chalkboard, so I did a dry-brushed coat of white paint over the frame and added a drawer pull to the bottom to hold the chalk.
I was sorta hoping it wouldn’t sell, because I would have squeezed it into my house somewhere, but it did.
I’m picking up a super old counter that needs a bunch of TLC. I have NO idea where I’ll go with it, as we don’t have a place for it inside our house and I don’t have a booth, but when the man told me it was mine for the taking, I couldn’t say no. I rarely pass up a freebie, if it has any potential at all, and this counter has a lot of potential.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Blessings,

What a wonderful idea – never would have thought of a chalk holder like that. Love it!
That turned out great and I love the chalk holder idea!
Hi Angie, What a fabulous cabinet door. Perfect vintage chalkboard material! I’d love to go out scavenging and come across this! xo Pam
This is such a gorgeous idea! Thanks so much for sharing it. Definitely pinning this one! ps. I never pin anything I haven’t already found on pinterest. So this one’s especially special! Nicely done.
ps. I adore your blog header!
that’s a great idea…I think I’ll steal it, but I’ll paint my exisiting kitchen lower cupboards so my grandson can practice his artistic talent while I’m cooking dinner. :0)

Beautiful, as always!
I cannot for the life of me find an affordable old cupboard door… for a chalkboard like this! Seriously, and if you keep showing beautiful pieces like this I never, ever will!!!! I love the old drawer pull for the chalk holder! And I cannot wait to see what you do with a counter…which is another thing I seriously need!!!
What a great find and makes a perfect chalk board!

Love it too! I purchased several old cabinet doors recently that I’m making into chalkboards too. They’re always a great addition. Visiting you from FNF
