Our DIY Chalkboard Table


Last weekend, we turned the top of our kitchen table into a chalkboard to use with our homeschool lessons.  We received the round table, plus three leaves, from friends a few years ago.  Our own oblong dining room table was too big for our kitchen and this table was perfect.  It wasn't in the best condition, but we loved it.  And we loved that table into an even worse condition.  ;o)  I've wanted to make the top a chalkboard for several months.  We even bought the supplies at the end of Spring, but it's been too hot outside to do this and I did not want to do it in the house.   Last Saturday was beautiful, not too hot, so we decided it was time.  We only did the table top but we plan to do the leaves in the future as well.

This is the "before" picture.


Close up of the stains, I mean, love we have given this table.
