I took the picture apart and painted the frame which was originally black with a bit of gold underlay. I spray painted it an apple green color first and then a coat of white on top of that. Then I distressed it a little bit so all the different colors showed through a bit.
After that I took the glass covering the picture and painted over it with a few coats of chalk board paint I had leftover from another project.
Simple, simple project that didn't cost anything to do and my family loves it as much as I do.

Very clever. I like it a lot.
Fantastic idea! I may be copying your cleverness very soon...
Cool idea. Love it.
That is cute! Promise me one thing though... use it. I have had one in my kitchen and I love to write on it, but on those nights where dinner is something lame I never want to write it on my board. Its like the menu chalkboard is to good for say a dinner of grilled cheese and french fries. All it takes is one lame dinner night and my board is blank for weeks.

BRILLIANT!
That's a cute Idea. I'm so tired of my kids and hubby always asking what's for dinner. I just might be making myself one of those. BTW I had to make my blog private...if you want an invite I'll send one to your email.
Yes Cajsa I do!
