Taking Risks!

I have a pantry in my kitchen that I love.
 I love it so much that when we remodeled the kitchen, 
with moved walls and all new cabinets, this piece stayed! 
It was custom made just for me some 20 years ago by Tom, 
our friend and house guest.
Floor to ceiling, it holds a tremendous amount of stuff.
This end of the kitchen is kind of blah, not much going on.
So, we had scraps of this..

Then I took a chance and used this magnetic primer,
then the black chalkboard paint!
I think I really like the finished project!
It's such a fun way to jazz up the end of my pantry.
The magnetic primer enabled a plain wood/formica  cabinet to accept magnets.
The chalkboard paint, just fun.

 Best of all?


Finding little notes like this!

Wait a minute, how am I not on your family blog reel...? :)
What a great idea! (And how fun to find such sweet notes!)I've been wanting to find a spot for one in my house ever since I saw this post (http://dcwvinc.blogspot.com/2010/11/chalkboard-wall-thanksgiving.html) glad that you took a risk - it looks great!
