I had an old homemade chalkboard
that needed a little something...
I had a little spice rack that needed
to be used or be gone.
We put them together.
When I saw "we" I mean Wild Bill
did it for me.
Sure, I could've done it myself.
But the man needed a job to do.
Anyway, I was busy staring at
these paint sample cards.
The left one is Gray Squirrel
by Martha Stewart.
The other is Behr's Macchiato.
I did the hard work of unscrewing
the wall switch a little so I could
slip the paint samples behind it.

So much easier than painting large
patches of paint samples on the wall and
leaving them there for 6 to 12 months!

I'm making sure the paint colors
look OK with the kitchen cabinets.

I'm now convinced I don't want to
paint the cabinets -- but everything
else in the house is fair game!
Anyways...back to the chalkboard.
So glad to finally have a project done!
Joining the following parties this week:
The chalkboard and the spice rack look great! Nice paint color chips.
ReplyDeleteI love how you put these two things together. How creative. You can never have too many cute chalkboards around. Also I look forward to seeing the paint color you pick. I'm the worst about selecting paint colors, I have to put them all over my walls because I need to see how the color changes during the day. But I like both of those colors, they're so cozy!
ReplyDeleteCurrently our walls are painted a brown that may not be too different from the one you're considering. I've really liked it (older house; white woodwork; oak cabinets)...but I'm ready for a change and it's going to be grey. I just have to settle on the actual shade - but I'm going darker....
ReplyDeleteLove this!! It looks positively darling!!
ReplyDeleteIn my youth, I painted my kitchen cabinets. What a job! You'll need Wild Bill for that one. Love your chalk board.
ReplyDeleteI think painting cabinets would take us 2 years. thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteIt will take 3 months of paint samples to make a decision. I'm very indecisive when it comes to paint.
ReplyDeleteLove the spice rack paired with the chalkboard....looks great! Have a great weekend :o)
