In my previous post nearly the laundry room mini-makeover you lot noticed the chalkboard, oh as well as the painted tray amongst the Greek Key design was also inwards this trivial room, you lot tin run across a peak of the tray to the left side of the come about picture.
The novel chalkboard replaced the quondam cork-board I had installed inwards at that spot a yr ago, I liked it, peculiarly the 2 mirrors (the instructions on how to create the mirror's frame is right HERE), but for my liking, it was likewise modest for that wall, that's why I painted the proverb as well as used the wall decals.
Lately, what bothered me the most was the amount of papers the cork-board was holding. My beloved hubby was pinning all of his auto coupon discounts, letters, magazine pages as well as you lot named it, it was right there....it was an oculus sore!
So, when the bookcases inwards my bedroom were built, a looong slice of baseboard was ripped off as well as it was lingering inwards the garage always since, well, it was the perfect slice of fabric for the novel board's frame.
The corners were cutting at a 45° angle. Even though it was a real long slice of baseboard it was non long plenty to consummate the frame :( Out from the fleck pile other pieces of molding came to the rescue ;) though they were non a perfect match, subsequently on you'll see.
It wasn't a at ane time slice of molding or baseboard, it was cutting making certain the mirror fit inwards nicely, leaving some extra infinite on both sides.
It was of import for me to had a tray to agree the chalk as well as the dust that the chalkboard generates, hence using 1 x 2 stock fabric a shelf was cutting to the dimensions of the within width of the frame. Pieces of 1/2" x 3/4" fabric was fastened amongst brad nails to the front end as well as sides of the tray.
With all the pieces ready, it was at nowadays fourth dimension to compass them a adept coat of paint. ASCP Duck Egg Blue was used.
The wall was painted 2 coats of chalkboard paint. -When taking your measurements for the expanse to live on painted, become over the inner lines of your frame ;)
Once the pigment was dried, the frame was nailed inwards place. I never purpose gum to attach this sort of moldings to the wall. I similar to alter things to a greater extent than or less as well as if I purpose gum on this, subsequently on when I alter it again, I volition live on ripping off the Sheetrock amongst it!
The studs on the wall had to live on located inwards guild to install the tray. Their locations were transferred to the bottom side of the tray, then, using the Kreg Jig, bag holes were drilled.
It was installed the same means equally the dining room shelves or ledges right here.
The mirrors were hang onto the wall.
This was my outset fourth dimension trying to practice a "nice" pattern on a chalkboard as well as allow me tell you, I cause got a long means to learn. It fifty-fifty came out amongst a spelling error :/ I haven't noticed it until Faith commented nearly it, Ooooops, distressing nearly that! Since the pictures were already taken, a only mini correction to the pic was done ;) I want I could install a spell checker on this ane :)
Did you lot noticed the mismatched slice of molding at the right bottom side of the frame? I love how pigment sort of hides those imperfections ;)
