I have about 285 things on my list I’d like to get accomplished before Thanksgiving and instead the other day I spent hours cleaning up this mess out in the garage: <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-iDbZzKtw4PY/VG9k0StkosI/AAAAAAAAtCQ/Lt6M5Tf5OiM/s1600-h/unnamed%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="667" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-w-6Qhptcumg/VG9k1bDcvpI/AAAAAAAAtCY/4282pxGVrmI/unnamed_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="" width="500" /></a> It needed to be done, obviously. But it is not on the list. ;) Food and cleaning this house are, however. But noooo…I focus on things like this. In my defense, it’s been driving me crazy for months. ALL of that wood is trim from the renovation. It was way bigger than this – we saved a ton of trim when we took down the wall so I used a lot to do the board and batten in the family room. There’s still a good amount I’ll use in the kitchen – on the crown, base and board and batten. Some of the pieces I gave away and the rest I’m keeping for future projects. I hoard scrap wood – it’s my thing. ;) Anyhoo, I finally got most of that area organized and then I kept going in the garage. Usually this time of year is when I organize our garage but usually this time of year isn’t 12 degrees with snow. So I’m doing bits and pieces and I’ll just have to wait till spring for the rest of it. While I was organizing I realized the truly insane amount of painter’s tape I have. It’s from working with the lovely FrogTape folks – but there’s no way I can use all this tape myself. I LOVE this tape and have worked with them for years but a few months back I pulled out -- I couldn't think of worthwhile projects to do anymore. If I can’t make it worthwhile for you I don’t feel right doing it. So I definitely don’t need all the tape I have and decided instead of dropping it at Goodwill, I’d pass it along to you guys! I have nearly 20 rolls to give away. I have three rolls of the chevron shape tape: <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-dVqIW1nSX54/VG9k16qHBvI/AAAAAAAAtCg/o6jMLDNUQ-c/s1600-h/IMG_0622%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="chevron painter's tape" border="0" height="418" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-iQh_Mu7Pmno/VG9k2pUoXVI/AAAAAAAAtCo/Z3K7a_3MxMk/IMG_0622_thumb%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="chevron painter's tape" width="500" /></a> I’m not a huge fan of chevron but I did use this in a different way to get a <a href="http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2013/11/chevron-take-two.html">unique look</a>: <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-hnHpgycbSjQ/VG9k3TDlWcI/AAAAAAAAtCw/xUZGZ_GaUFQ/s1600-h/ft2%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="chevron painters tape design" border="0" height="750" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-7vaTnZiC-eI/VG9k4K-HOnI/AAAAAAAAtC4/L49vKTShBLc/ft2_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="chevron painters tape design" width="500" /></a> So even if you’re not a big Chevron person, it still can be used to make different designs! I have three wave tapes available as well: <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-rVKOjLxJuAU/VG9k4_2ZWGI/AAAAAAAAtDA/HFRr43EuqDE/s1600-h/IMG_0632%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="wave painter's tape" border="0" height="385" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-pi3IClUJNtY/VG9k5ld1xrI/AAAAAAAAtDI/wLp7t9eVf-Y/IMG_0632_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="wave painter's tape" width="500" /></a> I think this stuff is super cute, especially for a bathroom. :) I made <a href="http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2014/05/making-waves.html">this art</a> for my son’s bathroom and still love it!: <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-ji4m8WvuQao/VG9k6Wi1EkI/AAAAAAAAtDQ/sWY79FDLaic/s1600-h/IMG_8982%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="nautical art wave painter's tape" border="0" height="333" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-pXifUoIyVa4/VG9k7FZDDWI/AAAAAAAAtDY/QZG8lEOvSgo/IMG_8982_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="nautical art wave painter's tape" width="500" /></a> I think the scallop tape is pretty too. I have four of these to give away: <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-2ILbpCssx_4/VG9k71a1MSI/AAAAAAAAtDg/3FUEgUJEVNI/s1600-h/IMG_0623%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_0623" border="0" height="333" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-SU39-4WpCdg/VG9k8p0St9I/AAAAAAAAtDo/GQ8m7jeJgis/IMG_0623_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_0623" width="500" /></a> I used this on my <a href="http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2013/10/candy-corn-crafting.html">candy corn bunting</a> last year: <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-h1qp6VtV7XY/VG9k9a1V_GI/AAAAAAAAtDw/Sg2nAnmhJL8/s1600-h/IMG_7043%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="candy corn bunting" border="0" height="780" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-EMybSjqwOY8/VG9k-GRgmrI/AAAAAAAAtD4/3TpGeBJmSls/IMG_7043_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="candy corn bunting" width="477" /></a> So cute!! I’m clearing out some of my regular tape as well – I have six of these available: <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-d05gSd08l74/VG9k-zZJnoI/AAAAAAAAtEA/KK_TFSmXLBA/s1600-h/IMG_0620%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="frogtape painter's tape" border="0" height="487" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-FzJeS30bpcA/VG9k_aSD0iI/AAAAAAAAtEI/H6_EZQdV4tY/IMG_0620_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="frogtape painter's tape" width="500" /></a> This is truly my favorite painter’s tape. The crisp lines can’t be beat. I used it to make this <a href="http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2013/08/an-ombre-wall-guest-room-progress.html">pretty ombre wall</a> in our guest room: <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Limi_liuU-g/VG9lAa8F8dI/AAAAAAAAtEQ/ym1LDTvkSjk/s1600-h/ombre-wall%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="ombre wall with squares" border="0" height="759" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-etezzKgO6EQ/VG9lBDkwH7I/AAAAAAAAtEY/A2JBJnBxzVY/ombre-wall_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="ombre wall with squares" width="500" /></a> I’ve mastered the art of cutting in so I just don’t use painter’s tape as much as I used to. And this stuff I’m really excited about – it’s FrogTape for textured surfaces: <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-K1EY6RkTna0/VG9lBy8LedI/AAAAAAAAtEg/nvS-DGGVHJE/s1600-h/IMG_0621%25255B2%25255D.jpg"></a> <img alt="painter's tape for textured walls" border="0" height="454" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-9QfG5Ou1L-E/VG9lCb4RwDI/AAAAAAAAtEo/oQLVhfJywug/IMG_0621_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="painter's tape for textured walls" width="500" /> I’ve never used this so I can’t speak to how well it works, but it’s worth a try! I have three of these to give away. Here are the deets: This giveaway is now closed! :) I will be taking most of next week off to spend with my family. I may be back with a post next Friday but that will most likely be it. I’ll be back with CHRISTMAS when I return though. :) I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I am so thankful you follow along with my escapades every week!

The new back door

Happy Thursday friends, one of my favorite days of the week! I’m SO happy to share this final addition to our renovation with you today! It’s not done, so bear with me because there’s a lot left to do. But I’m excited about how it’s looking and that we’re done with this reno! So if you’re new here – this past summer we <a href="http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2014/07/tearing-down-wall.html">took a wall down</a> between my office and our family room to give us more space. You can see the completed space <a href="http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2014/10/family-room-reveal.html">here</a>. :) What we didn’t realize till we knocked down the wall was how much this was going to completely transform our kitchen as well. So part of the plan was to tweak the bay window area a bit, where our back door used to be: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc5plgJ2n9nG8fTzg1-zNFBhULCbp6c2Zl0jO9fioy50HeL-DdJG7XdtihGAYuMczttAUmNuEcf1SYZj-N4xFNgA0xO-jfjMJ6WE78LignCVdgOSpa3E4aRUNppi_xo4zj75HECTXTcHk/s1600-h/IMG_0485%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_0485" border="0" height="750" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXh2rSsrie34YXxsltbb_y-pcI4N8WFVfs8D5aO9domKb81YE3u_M1M_1N5zxp1DxwsI4J4526Qxn82IQodKFTIP0PN9TA7jra8kLqk-PJhE3V5h8c3CyaedOAW2KTOFBv8GE09IrcYOc/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_0485" width="500" /></a> It’s now all windows and ready for me to build <a href="http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2014/10/a-window-seat-in-kitchen.html">the window seat</a>. Yum. We decided to move the back door over to where the double windows in the room are: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmRJ1GYhM-yMvzS7yyLh9YPqk6yZjpu4N87hzGoS6SNET3zo_IAEN9_A4r5aO53gOxxiDp8S5oaIFJYzOyjGw_Q8YuelA1TT4Mq9jOCJB33P4RerCADsiJuzBcnU9ghfRk8dhQ-yGmykQ/s1600-h/IMG_0446%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_0446" border="0" height="750" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV9e4QsrP0NmSp9J8EKjG2W7YHPVhLX0111CWfpS0vJlBeku_GVQV22FvFWvx-xM1NAquIpgcx5knvo1rRkfxeodzYId29QKLaESRwTF-PK_bgcw-AtjDtbgVb3CGLSp27iPdFiDzPtUs/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_0446" width="500" /></a> It just made more sense overall – that window just felt like the logical spot for the door when everything shifted. Here’s an idea of how where that window was in the old space: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaM-ERHk_Rmc6mPJ7rThyKNL1dwQK9eByB31Xx6pn1jXkr9lQ-N5PJR28L1L7KyP1UeI6a6IfTeHmh9J2oTSbT_bNPqTP2IeJuyjrxcvde5FafB3Yh9kpXJQ3tGRwFgaqQPperWQ_ZY_o/s1600-h/IMG_76764%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_76764" border="0" height="334" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6LTfx1JSEo2sWMWaGO-JjrHiXR1NPCeITE2oatMYwnmj-Prnv-0rb0S7MCtPnIOM-9gXYTL-7Cgu2O8ksXpchI3G5Sl9OeiKGLPp1akAIJ2bEQ7FtZnDOTZaxXpUId8Yndu2ry1_NAF8/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_76764" width="500" /></a> (OH my goodness, look how little my baby was there!!) The sectional sat up against it, which I didn’t mind too much but try to avoid if I can. So here’s the thing – we ordered the windows for the bay area and the new door at the same time from Lowe’s. The windows were coming in in a couple weeks. The door was going to take 28 days. I never expected either one of them to come in on time, just because I’m no spring chicken. ;) Well the windows came in on time but they never called to tell us, so on the fourth week I stopped by to check on the status of things. They told me the door was scheduled to be delivered that week, exactly on time. Whoot! I was so excited, so we picked up the windows and went ahead and had those installed. Before they replaced our back door with the third window I called Lowe’s again – and they told me that the door would be in that day. So I had the guys go ahead, knowing it would only be a day or two before the new door went in. We never got a call so I called again later and they told me again in was in…but it wasn’t. ;) It was delayed a little over a week, which was annoying but fine, not a biggie, #firstworldproblems. But a week turned into two, three…four. :) Finally this week it came in. It took the guys just over half a day to get it in and when I walked into the room I LOVED it!: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGv0O7e6GSQmfdzsCLzPxH3WgqLn-PwLb3HenfmUPqr8oqUpXnNV6qkFrmWQJ1Znrl3TsPio4z59GOIo72VhWTCs8HYWIrGy7LI6qTeEZ9sjkFSA6CA6eibjSuHAwyUDs5hFREMhlEYxs/s1600-h/IMG_0614%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_0614" border="0" height="750" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_1DJTF0SIqfWABNyCP4Kpsb5himgl2szPgRyOriYw0e1fzbaX5pPW4D-xYyqXBJD1FmZ26kGHeSWBi7jKyYnuTVvTWPFdXIH8rsmj4EPVFH7MWh-h8bRr5Cl-I7ZOAsXflAFqNh3Qqdk/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_0614" width="500" /></a> It was worth the wait. :) It is exactly how I envisioned it – it makes total sense in that spot. Only one side of the door opens – the other is stationary. I just felt like this way would be more secure. I had dreams of having two doors opened up to the deck and having the warm breeze waft in…and then I woke up and realized we have four animals that we’d never see again. Ha! You can see in that pic how much work I have left to do – they are framing out the door today in my <a href="http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2014/10/black-and-white-and-awesome-all-over.html">Craftsman style trim</a> and then I’ll paint. I also have to finish that wall to the right with the base and board and batten that goes throughout the rest of the room. That speaker isn’t being used anymore so I need to patch that drywall as well. I think it’s going to look so beautiful when it’s all done! I can’t wait! Our main floor windows are super tall, 72 inches. Because of that we had a big space to fill – instead of having them fill in the area above the door with drywall I had it made with a transom.

I want to build some kind of decorative cover over the door since the door opens out instead of in. I knew it would take up valuable floor space to have it open in. We didn’t have any coverage over the old door and it was fine but I think it would be nice. I don’t want to block the sun though, that’s the only thing. I see this spot with big beautiful planters on either side next summer too. Can’t wait! We are also having a new porch light installed to the left of the doors. So overall we’ve added two additional lights to the back of the house and more light is always nice. Of COURSE I plan on painting the doors black on the inside. ;) All of our interior doors (at least on the main floor) are and I know it will look stunning. The only problem is the panes on the transom are inside the window – but I think I have a solution for that. Stay tuned. :) I can’t wait to get this finished up and start on the rest of the kitchen next year! Whoo!! Oh, and by the way, the windows were ordered were Pella and they came in right on time. This door is Jeld-Wen and I’m not thrilled so far. Not only because of the delay (it was an issue on their end, not Lowe’s). It’s a good solid door but they really cut corners on things like the trim. You can kind of tell in the pic above that the exterior trim is a mess – it’s all getting redone. Thankfully Lowe’s covered the cost of all the new trim. At least we didn’t have a big <a href="http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2011/06/when-diy-goes-oh-so-wrong.html">hole in the house</a>! Living without a back door for a month wasn’t a big deal. Have you ever had a reno mishap that you didn’t plan for? I knew this whole thing went way too well. ;)

The new back door

Happy Thursday friends, one of my favorite days of the week! I’m SO happy to share this final addition to our renovation with you today! It’s not done, so bear with me because there’s a lot left to do. But I’m excited about how it’s looking and that we’re done with this reno! So if you’re new here …

EASY image transfer method

Hello my friends! I’m back today with a REALLY simple way to transfer words or images onto basically anything! I was so excited to find this tutorial because I used to do this <a href="http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-i-stencil.html">by stenciling it</a> – so I would use an X acto knife to cut out each letter and then use it as a stencil and paint. This method is SO so so much easier, and much quicker. Whoot! I did a little holiday message on our chalkboard to show how this is done. I found this tutorial on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv7VNNoL8xo">this YouTube page</a> so if you want a visual be sure to check that out. I started by figuring out what font I wanted for my words. I just use Word – easy is my key word here. :) For <a href="http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2014/11/knock-off-pottery-barn-advent.html">the advent calendar</a> I showed you yesterday I used a sharpie for the letters, but I knew I was using chalk for this one so I wanted the letters nice and fat: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsBO9CIoEWGHXEvQOhIh8Mg09OZHvzUUlH_RIS3QCn1eMxMSj_UrDBNifr1sPKWQucs1dnPCTMx3xQu1uXoX7AiD_mB_sdS5ewQtqC4TijjgZwAE18RLezpW7f_3WPhGWMf0HGi24-Zu4/s1600-h/IMG_0572%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="transferring letters to wood " border="0" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9RyqFi9REJRaxuVAobSP1NDW0sV6smXCu710qcA1EdjFBaSYwCSZpfDDayGnK9pbItYcZUXiFDbEPjFOAhLEMsZYGN5OevCrcSjjPQzXIRUIyPUcNKFMQufQAIu9VL75TR-TpF6POM2o/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="transferring letters to wood " width="500" /></a> Obviously because they were so big the words were broken up on the page. You’ll want to cut them down so they’ll fit together on your surface. The only problem with that is matching them up when you tape them to the wall or whatever else you’re transferring to: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlkMnlawhgO-THei97pC7KxanhcPTscTNOzwaRATJZGXLTCUWPXvAKI22HKja1zGbY812E96KZ4BHivgiiiHI1oKWJczgx_oeVmityUAOMs2PyFyKR5KJW3tJ6Th0gSR4umYWnRSDHYSA/s1600-h/IMG_0575%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="transferring image to chalkboard" border="0" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheR6Xq53Scb2xxdmvcVXdEJRIFvX3mICOms9KsmdFwkTJut7GlVhokQhFaIIVLog52_vWEMSvelzOolIoQ2uU07ZmudLrvi7oguD1DT1DI2cPxNwLLXvG9S3qNZQIjpH4ykwtn4iO0Kvc/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="transferring image to chalkboard" width="500" /></a> I just eyeball it. The lettering on my advent is not perfectly straight but it adds to the charm. Or something. :) So this where the easy comes in – grab some chalk. If you’re transferring to a light surface you can use colored chalk. For a darker surface white is perfect. Just flip up your image and “color” the back: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicjCKCwN147gNZJey2NdesUX6I8_BtWkWniuPqIG3OiugzmpU083qXI2hHuduq9N4JP9D0Vje4vnrTR7Fcam737SQDBmI9zXGNwEIuTyibmCo2RGhqu97UJ7-aiK3Qb4SX4Z7Gx1OetWw/s1600-h/IMG_0578%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="transferring image to chalkboard" border="0" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjaHxfWWXBbJhatiGlwlfS65t7BXulB9BSCoyz5iXfS93e113s2QJn0n4EsQlrpOB_ebKA6zdKKaDBYMRo4Yvdyn24JlyJh6-jppItBSfe-O2jyg-_N7CWEESHnC2RA4Yf9tiy48W0oBA/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="transferring image to chalkboard" width="500" /></a> You don’t need to do the whole thing, just cover the letters. Here’s how it looks after you’re done coloring with the chalk: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBiEgthHiG2Z8V9UBNr_g9DDTcarcwMZr247G8EsMtEjqRuLWOMyJHLSVJug2UAPVITkhvQFKpV8RxlC-njIgL_f6hnfe-o9qfvPv75Ml0onEDgRZIvbKlsuknFeto7_zjH3Q_r4teY3U/s1600-h/IMG_0588%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="easy way to transfer image to chalkboard" border="0" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaAAJISDoEjWAMDiTlm-wDK6Yt-MvzR2SATnn3Br-1WQfJrBmOTQLk4QtGj0xkywTAzQstDpClzmknF5TFlJ5vr6-Wa3vDnA0VdeaXRMNQExUEC9HGDytu1lFiZ4aXOeeKj7L9cNGicfo/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="easy way to transfer image to chalkboard" width="500" /></a> You can blow the excess off – you’ll still have enough to transfer. Then flip it back down (I tape the other side so it stays put) and then just trace your letters or image with a ball point pen: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggnLomLOSlq4igyDH3bXZsgRbCGjNTEn_sJfxTcP6FOSy92g7R0njwfFPCFmJD81MxXLNQckBV9Enku7yGaesoC4yfVMx42oN1pzFQScrbd-zIZ3GcJghCbFfvkgesT1ddnzDhM5xKy_0/s1600-h/IMG_0581%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="transferring image to chalkboard" border="0" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL7HG6W-oMQY7HvCxO-kOq76iMm_MmOxEMQpAP6qwIW6E8w-4pGWZ2nx_yqRo-KRdyKTffngd83eU1bOvs_HZhSUA26Uh7ajckIKfj2w7WsZ51ES47CNzcfDj0M5TSrDnImP_sunWTsrY/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="transferring image to chalkboard" width="500" /></a> That’s IT! SO much easier! My surfaces were a little bumpy but the great thing is you don’t have to be exact. You can fix it later if you are tracing over it again. :) Here’s a better shot of how I traced: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTjw8hvTWvlzw-2nqLPou-XAgJRQv_E-1rZ2focNa9Do4KcL1SvJtafxM7zGiwDJFIZoKeDJK5nEZxlcLE8-OKWaN2P3VmMNALGSN-hERV_rchiDmuOJ-trDKHZ3gUq3M_iiaadvO3etU/s1600-h/IMG_0595%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="transferring image to chalkboard" border="0" height="371" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Yq4PRemBM8UONIC55s1n6LusCJlpiG08K1oQcesV3eGtpHxC5QGbrFg9q4d-bYNTpUBWa9TgGnPttF9YmIJLTPVAHVbI2S_UOEwKR7VM2Eu50xyF3Ni1UQgdDPOTKcQq_3g-2naVp6s/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="transferring image to chalkboard" width="500" /></a> Again, if you mess up, not a big deal. When you pull up the paper you will have an outline: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbqFb1-DCWKPYjdbonHaU1vv8jnKTiTkY3qbwtfIBssLB-eCnhaZQWzvipweyox3aOgRqP6NflyYnn4qt-s1woYnDbfVdwDygGKVl9SErMYN7c4zt1uGz0J2Tcmi66H9RJ9BH2emRd2NM/s1600-h/IMG_0582%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="DIY image to chalkboard" border="0" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJWEcCrbZ71OHhpSTMNsVA9f4t8_o1fQHH0RrHRAgdR7FcJCKFWcnxC3ghPyuUAXy_yO_wJYOCoP32veul3nANu31V8YRwUh87u32fTz-ack1TWpXU1_5l4FKvpjR5w8dWWCHZCYk-2r8/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="DIY image to chalkboard" width="500" /></a> Brilliant. I was afraid all that chalky dust would be all over but it doesn’t transfer – just where you trace. Awesome!: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijeS005ykBtwifHvl8CghS-T1B6BoCKG7fz_EUnFwLLKbAVKyxtvNyB_BBwgtKUkNQioAUG-oi1qvPclHVMestkB7ZFxzOF2iPSXOfOzJch8K_9fBcpvELoq39Bj43e8-ka1_cMAFHS_g/s1600-h/IMG_0592%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="transferring image to chalkboard" border="0" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs_ZMi8HpXQlPaPDoq7j-UbaGVhq63DjHC3JI49wXmlnOqydAs8NrBPnahOfbphoe_Kz1lwoyunrc0jntNlUCQdP6UCEWR9ok7tzpBQXgCocnJZjqDyh4lGd3nGE6Cu-stVFfrfCVezQA/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="transferring image to chalkboard" width="500" /></a> So you can leave it as is – I actually love that lighter look. I wanted something that would stand out a little more for our chalkboard so I traced with a chalk pen: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSxGTFr8rRLGx7FtWr2i-J47mWPjqBEMs8zByE3qRNzvINW-VU90pfLvLMzO68jtOKmEqKw4AKduY0ngo6kQ1yw-eHTiGE0m73jdzGvqIARvRAGScm6C8e9OYOogHQV4IL7L7B9EXYWJY/s1600-h/IMG_0585%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="transferring image to chalkboard" border="0" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhJbfHoqi_Q79seM_lyJRBkpFiVXtmQlnS3rien8gXA1gtOx-96Gw0It5a8RYv1GoxsJVHN-VuTPlZfGdbl__fQUhHEfiyIYJ_6JTN7zGOA6Bv9NapiVB5Z8Y2wEIKG_mN432cZIZf5fE/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="transferring image to chalkboard" width="500" /></a> Then I filled it in with real chalk to get that look. I have a couple different types of these pens – the Chalk Ink are my favorite and I am pretty sure you can only get those online. Anyone know if they are in stores now? The Bistro version is at most craft stores and they are OK, I just don’t love them as much: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4kz6o78h_Bx22CHw9SaPh55q0Ye_ma17ZFuO8P6GIf8zBOSXpfztu2BJ9Ue62rtysdi-w_K5woKQXO0eV6F4oPNeywHjW8Ja-0dDqu8bk41NkErrZYMGcS9-RurPDv8DkhqJ1IiB68M8/s1600-h/IMG_0593%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="chalk markers" border="0" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_72NoGSp_zAS5nfoCfXgS_OUwf2g0EYmKVM5z6mGFLj-0cXjt_rZq4TuebEeLR7RPwMRyGJ6_YJyjTgfNVGJU4L8bMnaOyjYI7zrTIkIUflwNZlE6WbTk-1A-6f3EE8VP8Wqmx9H78_k/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="chalk markers" width="500" /></a> It still takes some time but it’s nothing compared to cutting out the stencil like I used to do. It took me maybe 30 minutes to do this one? Now that I know how to do this I may actually put some cute stuff on my chalkboard from time to time!: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQZphkSqK7jV8zZiad0cjTynE_XrO18mqppG65EQKzpa0tbHGXkm5Vuo9tIHkv5mGroBX0S9EsoIZhNnSaOcygO1_gujfPgYD_1gg9Jn1wCzawZLbPnAjkfKP7d4Hvn3dDUjf8JvwyhJs/s1600-h/IMG_0599%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="transferring letters or images onto chalkboard" border="0" height="576" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_RHu4eDpYdmIiJebkpEvONB8J6RZ8JG7lgvlZaOuU72NeP53rhV4HdXkuVzxMp1pHNFdbhVPV_vXr1TjGUWHHJfjovXph0NiXGLe-K7ykfvbcbtbaO2s7Z9wv-fCwGlVoBLcaij5GHJ8/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="transferring letters or images onto chalkboard" width="500" /></a>Side note – since that year I spelled Christmas as “Chirstmas” on our cards that went out to everyone we know I’m always looking at it 15 times to make sure it’s right. Haha!!  I love it! What a fun way to add some seasonal fun to your chalkboard! I’m not great at free handing that stuff so this is great to know. And of course the possibilities are endless with wood – you could go crazy with fonts and do fun signs or art. And it’s practically free!
