Chalkboard Paint for Summer!

I’ve always wanted to do this but just never got around to it last summer so when the  Summer Block/blog party started up I was bound and determined to get this done, to finally paint some planters like what’s on the paint can.

I just did the rims of the planters, don’t ask me why maybe it’s because I ‘vet worked two weekends in a row and we are trying to get everything done before the wedding/picnic on July 9th so much to do and it’s either so hot out or like this morning rainy and cloudy! I guess it will all come together before then:)
So here they are…I know, I know to much space between the two he's I’ll fix that before the 9th…hopefully! I also used chalk ink from Michael’s, so much better than regular chalk!

Here is a peek at my potting bench Mr. K built for me, I’m still not done adding to it. Does anyone have any suggestions, I’d be so happy to have your help on it, sometimes another pair of eyes can see something that I don’t especially with all the other projects I’m trying to get done:0  The window is from my BIL’s family home garage and heavy isn’t the word for it!

I did find these on sale at Joann's for 60% off and hung them on the side or do you think they would look better hung on the choppy window on either side of the glass part?

Seems like I need more color down here on the shelf too!

I do like this arrangement but seems so skimpy or something!


Talk about painting projects I still have these to do, I didn’t give them a fresh coat of paint last summer so this year they really are screaming for me to do it ! This yellow is called Yellow Crème!

The large planter is from Walmart, love them because they look so real but are light as a feather! I got the top part of this vintage chair done and still have to do the very bottom. I have four of these chairs in different styles and all were given to me!

I hope you enjoyed reading my post today, stop by the block party to see what everyone’s been doing!
