Extra bonus? The price tag. $1.95 made this my proudest moment! (Second to the birth of my son, of course!)
I sanded the little puppy down so I'd have a nice smooth painting surface.
And after a few coats of chalkboard spray paint I have the perfect little chalkboard hanging on the wall! I managed to remember to pick up hardware to hang it while at Target...but I forgot chalk! You better believe I'll be grabbing some tomorrow!
And a little sneak peek at some nursery progress. I've been busy hanging!
I'm trying to save all the nursery pictures until the end, a sort of "final unveiling" if you will. Hopefully it'll be worth waiting for!Still left on the list:
- Hang the curtain rod back up.
- Sew the curtains! Then hang them.
- Still need an air vent cover to replace the old one we removed.
- A few more frames to hang and fill with pictures.
- A few floating shelves to be hung (have them marked...but didn't have the right screws).
- Find a comforter for the twin bed.
- Hopefully follow through with an idea I have for the closet door curtains!
- Make the computer desk sitting in the corner a little more presentable

I can't believe you destroyed someone's art like that, Heather. Someone worked on that prairie dog for at least an hour making sure his beady eyes were expressing the right emotions. Awful. But your chalkboard is cute so I guess its okay. Haha. And I love the preview of the nursery. Can't wait!
Of course Sara is feeling sorry for the ugly prairie dog, being a fellow artist. Thankfully her art is so much prettier, no one would ever paint over it.
And yes, that is so the neatest idea ever! I've seen some chalkboard decals, but this would be cheaper I imagine and more fun knowing you did it yourself!
