framed blackboards

during our last visit to hubby's family's home in nueva ecija we did a bit of scavenger hunting at the backyard and found this old piece. it used to be the framework of a glass top table.






with a bit of flair and a little elbow grease.....tadahhh! we now have a framed blackboard!







i love the charm of re-using old things and bringing new life into it. i also love the idea of framing blackboards so much that we even had one in our wedding Dennis-Irene-1957 by irene_dmd

  4. thanks, mikey!

    the blackboard is simply nailed to the frame at the back. the blackboard has to be a few centimeters larger than the "window" of the frame.

    by the way, i had nothing to do with the distressed effect...we found the frame that way!

    thanks for dropping by!
