Frame to Chalkboard: Third Time's a Charm


Third Time's A Charm





 I have a hard time passing by any frame: garage sale, curb alert, thrift store, they all end up in my home cluttering up my work table (I actually have two work tables because I can't keep one clean enough!).

For this project I picked the larger frame, the one with that "gorgeous" cat in the middle. Not sure why this pic was framed so nicely. ???


I did rip off the backing, again, a very nice frame job for such a funny picture. I don't get it. Maybe at one time it had meaning to the owner...before it ended up a freebie. Anyways, I only ripped it off to salvage the black matting frame...who knows when that will come in handy? 



This is the first version. Decided to use it as a monthly tracker for our "total debt paid-off." But I wasn't digging the all black look. Just didn't seem to fit into the room. Click Here to see the Tutorial on the Credit Card Chalkboard in the back.

Here is a photo of Take 2. Eh...still not digging the frame color. (The brown portion in the photo below.)




Third time's a charm, right?


Here it is above the stove replacing a garage sale plaque. I like the message way more than the colors. 





Its too big for this space...too bad I hammered in two addition nail holes to mount this...lol. When I find a smaller frame I can repeat the idea. Now to find a place for this frame with some "elbow room."





Here it is perched on top of the Credit Card Chalkboard in our dining room. It won't last there long since it isn't anchored to the wall. Eventually this bright colored beauty will find a permanent home in our home.

...until then it'll stay a wandering chalkboard with fun quotes sketched on it to keep us motivated.
