Happy New Year everyone! Another year has flown by and it's time once again to make those New year resolutions. Gosh... where to start!? So, as the new year rolls in we all have to pick and choose which new years resolutions are something worth sticking too. Well, like many of you I made more than one (probaly becasue I'll only stick to one). So the organizing freak that I am decided that this window chalkboard would be a creative way to spruce up my office but also remind me (daily) that I have set goals for myslef and I must stick with them. And for those of you smart people who have choosen to NOT make resolutions.. smart But this is still a great project for you!
I found this old window for FREE on craigslist......
When I got to the location I had found out there were STACKS of windows. So I did when any junk collector would have done.... FILLED my car! Yes, I literally stuffed it to the point of not being able to see out of any window other than... well, my windshield of course!
I believe it was Pinterst that had sparked my interest for this project and I can't wait to try each idea. I kept my first window pretty simple with just a little bit of chalkboard paint to see how it would work. I first had to sand, sand and sane some more! The picture shown above was actually the back of this project and the other side has layers of chipping paint and dirt. I then painted the white and then free handed the chalkboard paint (with several coats). The chain was a very cheap purchase from Home Depot. This was a quick and pretty simple project for those of you looking to dip into DIY!
The best part is that I still have a stack of windows to play with. I can alter colors and styles. There are ENDLESS possibities for customizing these windows. I added a few of my favorites (from Pinterest) that I will be sure to dabble in soon! Be sure to come back to check out the rest of them!
