Several weekends ago Emily was feeling crafty. She found this chalkboard on clearance and decided to transform it to match the nautical colors in Jonathan's bedroom.
First she added a groove to hold the chalk and sanded down the old paint job to prep the surface for it's new colors.
Next came primer. Then then a coat of yellow followed by a generous coat of crackel. She finished it with a top coat of dark blue. 
As it dried it cracked to give it an aged finish.
Emily had fun with this. Perhaps she has been watching too many episodes of "This Old House"
