I bought this beautiful picture from the Vintage Revivals hoarder sale, and while I kind of loved it the way it was, I decided that it could use an update to better fit into my place.
So I grabbed a can of primer and a can of white spray paint and went to town on the frame, then grabbed a can of chalkboard paint and painted right over the picture... (I still feel bad about that... but I love it this way!)
Every time we have people over they have so much fun creating new pictures for us.
And this is the one I created this morning.
Even though I felt bad for covering up that artists work, I love being able to create my own...

I love chalkboards in homes! A great slate to create. But my mouth literally dropped as I scrolled down to see that you covered over the artwork! Lol. Very brave of you.
I really really do love how it turned out.
Wonderful idea. The frame ist great!

I've been searching for the perfect frame to do just this! I like your version of art better. Cute, cute, cute!
I love that you said you "grabbed" primer, spray paint, and chalk board paint. Ya'll make DIYing look so easy! :) And your project is great-- sometimes when you find an old work of art and don't connect with it, that is the best way to put meaning to it!
brilliant. i love this.
The frame alone is worth it! Very cute - And how fun for your company to come and create art. Such a personalized experience. :o)
I love the idea of this! I also love the idea of painting one wall in a children's room to let them draw all over! :)
Your blog is adorable!

I think I might do that, only with an ugly picture that I don't feel guilty about covering. :D
wow..looks great!!
I love it so so much! Ok... now I need to make one ASAP!
i love it! those kinds of crafts are my absolute favorite.
Love love love it!!! Such a good idea, I need to do this!
Ah! This is exactly what I need! Weekend project :) Where can you buy chalkboard paint??
seriously, ever since i saw this on your instagram i've wanted to do it with some of my old paintings! so so cute.
beautiful frame and what a CUTE idea!!!
Lovely idea, but I would have taken another painting or a frame without anything in it ;)
Love the new frame, but I'd never have the guts to paint over a painting. Maybe because Justin's a painter, but it turned out super cute!!!
So adorable!
Awesome idea, thank you!
I would love if you could check out my blog

I just did this, and the chalkboard paint turned out to create kind of a rough chalkboard surface. Is yours like that too, or did yours make a smooth chalkboard surface? I wonder if I did it wrong...
