So I started my first project with one of the cabinet doors. I picked one that i thought was the perfect size for a chalkboard Laundry sign.
First I sanded "The Chosen One" and taped it off. Then I used chalk paint to paint the frame of the door.
Once the chalk paint was dried I carefully removed the painters tape and then retaped so that I could paint the chalk board surface. Using Rustoleum Chalkboard Paint I painted a first coat on the chalk board surface and then waited 24 hours to let it dry before I applied a second coat.
Then I took a sanding pad and distresssed the chalk paint frame. Later I put some black paint thinned with water and a rag. I rubbed it all over the cream chalk painted frame and rubbed it in to further distress and give it an aged look.
The next step was to take a clean rag and rub wax into the chalk paint frame buffing it as I went. I'm not quite finished waxing and buffing yet as I want to put two coats so I applied a second coat of wax and am waiting for it to dry now.
I then painted the word LAUNDRY on the black surface.
VOILA my laundry sign made with a cabinet door!
Haha the chosen one ! That's funny. It looks really good finished. I like the last picture beside the wreath. Hopefully other people will find this informative and make their own !!! Good job :)
