Ok, not something usually to be celebrated, but today, I'm excited because we got a new water heater!! Well, not really excited about the new one as much as I'm excited about what I did with this part of the old
one!
At first I thought it would be awesome as a magnet board, I like magnets, but it's aluminum, so I decided to do plan B. Chalkboard!! I've never tried chalkboard paint and it looks fun, so here we go!!!
First I removed the plastic threading that connected it to the water heater, it left a nice hole on one side, then onto intense, muscle powered cleaning, this thing was nasty, then the primer, just a few coats of the cheapo walmart kind.
THEN, onto three different stores before finally finding a can of chalkboard paint!! Thank you Home Depot. It got two coats of Rustoleum Chalkboard paint then left for 24 hours to dry.
Finished painting, it's enormous, seriously, I should have thought about the size first, where to put it??
I found this pretty burlapish ribbon, and ran it through the ready made hole.
I do love that the chalk sits nicely in the rim :)
OH, where to put it???
Linking up!
