Vintage Room Screen turned chalk board
by
Lori Choman
Here's a Vintage room screen that I fell in love with but didn't have a use for in our home. So I took out the curtains, inserted 1/4 inch plywood in the spaces. I had originally planned on using it in my granddaughter's room so I painted the frame pink. Then I made homemade purple chalkboard paint and painted the inserts. It made a wonderful large chalk board. Since there was no space for it in her room, I hung it on the wall in my craft room. When I changed my craft room around, I reduced the size by using only one panel and hanging it back on the wall. I glued clothes pins around the edge for hanging patterns, instructions, tape measures and other things. It's really handy to have on the wall and my family can leave me notes on it as well!
This is not the actual one I had but it's like it. I forgot to take a picture of the project before!
Here is the screen with all three sides together. You can see the clothes pins and how they hold things.
Here it is over my new sewing station.
