When my nephew was flooded last month, I helped him paint and he gave me most of his cabinet doors. I painted one and put it in my kitchen:
It is so handy for leaving notes for loved ones, and to myself. I never knew how handy a chalkboard in the kitchen could be! The one I made for myself was a good size to hang vertical. Many of the doors I got from him were so skinny that they really need to hang horizontal.
I painted this one sort of with a dry brush technique to give it an older look.
In this picture, it’s hard to tell, but this one is painted a dusty rose color. It is such a pretty light pink, with slight hues of red. The paint was given to me by my niece.
This one I painted with my oops black. I got a gallon of this paint, and I still have a little over 1/2 of it left.
This door has the original finish, all I did was tape it and use the chalkboard paint.
I used D rings for hangers on the back of these chalkboards. I used 3 of them on each of the doors. I put 2 on the end, making the one on the right side easily movable. I also added one on the opposite end , so that these boards can be hung vertically or horizontally.
