Since I've started decluttering, I've been looking at objects I have and considering whether I can make them beautiful and exciting or whether they're better off finding a new home.
I had this white platter that was covered in brown flowers. It was a present when we moved to the country and while some may like it, it really wasn't my taste.
However with a few quick coats of paint it was transformed.
I used a white paint first to cover the flowers and then two coats of chalkboard paint seems to have done the job.
Isn't chalkboard paint amazing for upcycling things?

I've got this on my to do list as I have some paint left over...but wasn't sure how it would go with food on chalk board paint...do you ever put 'wet' things on it (i.e. cake) or just stick to fruit?
ReplyDeleteI only just finished it a few days ago so have just used it for fruit but i've seen projects where people use cheese etc. I think that would be fine. I think cake too would be okay- I'll test it out and get back to you :)
DeleteThis is so cute! I pinned something similar on Pinterest but, of course, have not gotten around to doing anything! Yours looks awesome!
