Ornate Frame and Chalkboards2

More painting this week, found a very ornately framed oil painting (mid century modern) of roses and two promising chalkboard projects, one a small tray and one that was originally a large slide in calendar holder (all thrifted). Laid out the newspaper, put on my red painting apron and opened the CeCeCaldwell Simply White Chalk paint, the Rust-oleum Black Chalk Board paint. 

Chalk paint of ANY kind is an ongoing favorite. I love painting stuff.

This is the gold framed turned white. Used MinWax Polycylic as a top coat over 2 coats of CeCeCaldwell Simply White Chalk paint.

I worked on all three projects so that each coat of either white or black had time to dry, mini assembly line.

The dark green frame with masonite insert made a great chalk board. I painted each side of the masonite so the board can be used both sides.

The last project was a small wooden tray. I didn't take a before picture, just an in progress.

It is small, very useful as a backdrop and would be handy for naming and serving.
