Chalkboard Accent Wall

Did you all have a Merry Christmas?

We did! It has been wonderful having my son here for a week! 
So sad he is leaving tomorrow...

I'll miss that guy.

While he and Hubby are killin' it playing Xbox...

I decided to do a little project. :D

I have this wall that's at an angle in the kitchen
 and decided it would be an excellent accent wall.

So, I jumped in with both feet, grabbed my 10 yr old can of chalkboard paint from the basement and started painting!

Once I got started, I was determined to finish the whole project!

My daughter, is playing photographer and is a bit snappy happy :P 

No taping, no drop cloth... That's just how I roll.
  I didn't even put on painting clothes.  

Thank goodness, I'm a pretty neat painter!

I painted 2 coats without any issues.

Next the wall needs to be "chalked".

This allows the writing to be easily erased and you won't have words and such permanently on the wall.

You can tell I lost my good lighting!
And yes... one day I will remove every single
boob light in my home!!

Next I "rubbed in" the chalk with my hand and just wiped the wall down
 with a dry towel. The chalking, rubbing and wiping
 makes a nice little mess on the floor...

I vacuumed up the mess and was ready to start on the scripture verse.

I've always wanted to put scripture on the walls of my home. 

I chose this one for now... 
I thought it would be a good one for our New Year's Eve Party.

I made this on PicMonkey and printed it up.

Then I slid it into a sheet protector and traced the words.

Now this next part... I will be doing a post on later.

Have you ever made your own DIY Projector?

Soooo EASY!

I rigged up this baby!

I know, I know... The skills are incredible!

Board, books, bungee and a hammer.

But LOOK!!

Can you say A.W.E.S.O.M.E!!!

Wow! I see sooo many possibilities right now!!

This turned out perfect!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!

Later on my sweet daughter is going to add some art to dress it up.

Oh Magnify the Lord with me 

&

Let us exalt HIS name together!

Blessings,
