Bread Board Chalkboard






This was a very quick and easy project.  I had this great bread board, but alas it had a crack in it so I didn't want to use it for cutting food.  I thought it would look good as a chalkboard, but I wanted to keep the wood look.  
Before:
Front



Back

I got out my chalkboard anything product and started to paint away.
I painted on the coating vertical and then let it dry (with the help of a blow dryer of course!).  I then painted it horizontal and let it dry.  When my daughter saw it in the kitchen she called  her dad at work and said we were having pulled pork sliders ( her favorite) and then she was disappointed when I told her I had just wrote that on the new chalkboard for pictures-LOL!

Here is the end result:







I love that I can write on it, but it stills has the warmth of the wood.
