DIY Chalkboard Menu

Ever since I bought my house I thought there should be a chalkboard menu somewhere in the kitchen. I had grand dreams of writing the menu out for whatever I was cooking and even calling it the 1812 Cafe in honor of the year the house was built. Well......those dreams went by the wayside as I focused on larger concerns like getting a couch. Fast forward four and a half years and I still wanted that darn chalkboard! I looked high and low and couldn't find one I liked in the right size so I said what the heck and decided to make one myself. I found a frame I liked at Michael's and chalkboard paint completed the illusion. Here's how I did it. I hope you'll try it out yourself!
