I was reading HGTV magazine, which I picked up as an impulse purchase at Safeway {totally recommend this magazine, by the way. It is full of colour, ideas, and awesomeness} and I came across an article about repurposing all manner of kitchen things as vases. What really struck me was how they used salt and pepper shakers.
So pretty, right?
I picked up some s&p shakers at my local thrift store and had them sitting around my room for a while.
But, I also had just bought some chalkboard spray paint at my local hardware store, and thus, an idea was born. {Link here to the spray paint on amazon.ca, I used the one in black}
After much shaking, newspaper, and two coats of spray paint, and some weeds from our backyard, this is the end result:
They are cute. And I love them. Possibly more than I should. I'm going to have to figure out where to put them as currently my mother has commandeered them for the mantle downstairs.
I have not actually tried writing on these to see if the chalkboard paint is actually, well, chalkboard. But I just like the matte black look of them and my brain is already thinking of other things I could spray paint and write on. Because everything looks better with a coat of spray paint. Everything.
