Be Nice or Leave

To say we are all just a little addicted to Pinterest would be a gross understatement!  You know it. I know it.  If there hasn't been a support group in your area, maybe you should start one...  

Nah!!!  

Who are we kidding... I mean, who wants to give up Pinterest?!  Not THIS girl!

So. I made a decision.

I am going to finally get off my kiester and MAKE SOMETHING!  I even have a folder named

 "Things I really must accomplish" 

to help push me in that direction!  {I'm not lazy, really.. just a procrastinator!  A major procrastinator... As in QUEEN of PROCRASTINATION (and spider webbing... but that's another post, another time)"}

Ok.. so here is one of the very first things I saw and pinned. I LOVED this!!

Don't you just LOVE it?! I not only love the chair, but I simply love what it says!  "Why?" you wonder? 

Because  I have 3 teenage daughters!  With that.. comes arguing, bickering and complaining. 

ALL. THE. FREAKIN. TIME.  

When they can't seem to get their crap together and we've had enough, we yell at them to get outta here and go upstairs!  ask them kindly to leave the room!

But now... we don't have to ask.  We don't have to utter a word!  

We. Can. Just. Point!  

and I LIKE that idea!

And since I don't have this fancy a house, with the fancy chair, I improvised....  (and you can too!)

Like me, you can go to Goodwill.

and

 Hobby Lobby.

****

  @ Goodwill, you can find cool junk, like THIS!

  

{it's actually kinda pretty}

And pay this...







And, like me, when you're leaving, you'll get weird looks~ like this..

But they don't  know what a genius plan you have... SO... onward you march!
With your head high and  a goofy grin smack across your face because, like my inspiration, yours is THAT awesome, too!


So you get it home and lay it out on your paint sheet; like this.


[Oh Wow.. It's really quite large!]

4 cans x 5 cans!


GAH!!  IT'S PERFECT!

Then. You grab this, this and this.
 {cuz we're super fancy like that!}

 Then, you spray 2-3 coats of the Chalkboard paint all over the faux painting;  like this.

And  you use the paper bag to shield the board so you can paint the frame; like this.

**What can I say... I stun even myself with how improvisional I am sometimes.  HAHA  ;) **
{yes huh, it's a word!}

 
And if you get a little over-spray, like this... don't fret..

You've got a paper bag.  You can spray over it.  Like this.

Then, you'll end up with something quite nice.. Like this!

Now... You need to use a piece of chalk to "prime" your board; like this.

Then wipe it off with a damp towel.



Position your letters, you know, the one's you got from Hobby Lobby for half price!! 

and fill in the letters with chalk, so you can have something that's as spectacular

AS

THIS!

 

 

(By the way~ Don't ever pay full price at Hobby Lobby! EVER!  There is always a 40% off coupon available to print, or show the check out person from your phone, if it's not already on sale in the store)

(weird how lighting changes the wall color!) my walls are yellow.. like this..

 

I hope you love yours as much as I love mine!

Even my kids ♥ it!  :)

 {{and I didn't have to explain it's meaning either!  wink. wink.}}

hugs,

k.
