Here is one of my latest projects//

Turning cabinet into chalkboard mini wet bar///I found this vintage piece in Florence, AL while visiting Emma and doing a little antique shopping. Enjoyed the blue color for a year but was wanting a change, thought the black chalkboard paint would look nicely in our place and my-oh-my did it turn out great.
