"These Shoes Were Made for Chalkin'"
We try to stay fairly clear of harsh ultimatums, incontrovertible truths, and rigid political stances ... but we are undoubtedly in favor of having an infinite variety of shoe patterns in a single pair of thrift store heels.

Repurposed Chalkboard Drawers
We haven't kept track of the number of times we've passed up a handsome set of drawers at the thrift shop because of an unfortunate paint job ... but the number wouldn't be insignificant. This idea for painting over plain file cabinets with chalkboard paint, however, is a great reminder of how easily you can transform home decor with a little DIY lovin'!

A chalkboard table top can be treated as if a painter's canvas with careful, elaborate drawings ... but it's a lot more fun to make your repurposed project kid-friendly! A craft like this is perfect for the family room, and did we mention clean up involves minimal small parts for you to unexpectedly step on two days later? You're welcome.

Chalkboard Planter Labels
It's easy to forget which houseplant is which when they're still in their infancy; but by adding a strip of chalkboard paint (or maybe painting the whole pot altogether, like this crafter did), you'll never confuse those sprouts again!
