I am a teacher. So I am not loving all of these “Back to School” signs e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e! But I guess I’d better make it more fun while the inevitable looms nearer…
I inherited this easel from another teacher in my school. It has sat around not being fully used, for the past two years in my classroom.
I found this lovely mistinted paint from Lowes for $5.00, and knew it would be a fun classroom color. So I painted the legs this fun color 
Then, I bought my first quart of chalkboard paint, and I think I’m in love! The man was trying to sell some whiteboard paint (did you know that’s the “new thing”?!) But I like the old-school chalkboard.
I measured, made a border with some leftover neutral paint.
and put 3 coats of the chalkboard paint in the middle!
It’s sitting in my living room drying right now, but I’m so excited to bring it to my classroom! I think it’ll be great
*UPDATE: Here is a picture of it in use in my classroom
Another picture… (like those BRIGHT yellow floors? haha)
