DIY Message Board

In the kitchen there is a very narrow wall next to our breakfast counter that I have always thought would be the perfect place for a family message board.

In the past I have hung a chalkboard in the spot for that very reason.  I quickly found out that I love the look a whole lot more than I liked using them.  So bye - bye went the chalkboard.



A white board made more sense, but it's hard a find an attractive looking one.

After multiple unsuccessfully shopping trips, I dug a lonely wood frame out of my laundry room to make my own white board.


I used a piece of drop cloth fabric as my background and added a simple stencil to jazz it up a little.



So far it's working out perfectly!

Have a great day,

Robin

  7. We have a clock that is a chalk board, but I like the idea of glass I can just wipe clean.
