Backyard Art Project - Part 2

Last week, I shared the beginnings of our backyard art project with a curbside table Dave found.  After seeing this post at Granny's Attic, I knew our curbside find would make a great chalkboard table for the kids! 
We bought a can of chalkboard paint from AC Moore using a 50% off coupon (love those coupons!).  Dave painted the table top according to the directions on the can.


After a few days wait, the table was ready for the kids to enjoy!


Thanks for stopping by!

    What a great idea for the kids! My daughter LOVES her outside chalk, so I just might have to make one for her, that way she stops drawing on the door!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment!

    I love this idea so much. I have a table that I really think this could work for.

    I would be honored if you would link it to my Upcycle Awesome party over at www.thetshirtdiaries.com

    Hope to see you there!

    what a great idea, it looks like the kids really enjoy it. i also really like the color you brought in with that picture frame tied to the chair. how creative!

    thanks so much for stopping by the cape on the corner, and for your comment on my container eggplant. believe me, i had no idea either, i just stumbled upon it when the supermarket had their flowers on sale. i didn't know you could even buy one for a container.
