Footboard into Chalkboard
This is my latest project that I am so happy about. I totally copied this from ones I saw on other blogs so I cannot take credit for the great idea. I had this footboard left over from a bed I got for $7 from Goodwill. I used the headboard on my guest bedroom bed (click here to see) and decided to make a chalkboard out of the footboard. It is hanging over the desk in my kitchen. I love it! It's so much fun doing a cheap and easy project like this one and have it actually turn out right. Happy Monday and 1st day of Fall to y'all!

What a wonderful transformation. I have seen alot of chalkboards on blogs but yours makes me smile. Love the colors and especially love the knobs.
What a clever idea Angie! I just love it!!
I once made a bench settee from a headboard and footboard that was left over at a garage sale and they were giving away!
Gotta love FREE!!
I LOVE it, this is one of your best projects yet, it looks great against your yellow wall!! I am going to have to copy this!
Very cute! I love the lines of the piece and the red paint really makes it pop. Nicely done!
Oh my goodness! This is adorable, and what a great idea. I love the color too.
I love your chalkboard - I don't think you're ever sitting still! LOL

OMG! This is the most incredible thing I've seen in a long time! It is ABSOLUTELY fabulous! The shade of red you used is just perfect and those knobs you added . . . just more perfection! If I were you, I'd be sitting at my desk for hours just admiring my handiwork! LOL!

OMG! That is just genius! I love this idea. I will be keeping my eyes open for unwanted headboards now. I just love how you repurpose the most unusual things. Your blog is a real inspiration.
Good Night Nurse....how cute is that!
This is awesome!!! I've used footboards for signs but never would have thought about inserting chalkboard paint into it. Fantastic - I'll be trying this - and the colors are perfect! Thanks for sharing! Cathy

Love it. Would have never thought of doing that.
Wow! I love it! I would have never guessed to use a footboard for a chalkboard. Very creative!

I want to thank you. My mother has AZD and I had to quit my job in the workplace. My husband was injured in Iraq and I take care of both of them. I live far, far out in the sticks and going to town is a major effort. With the demands on my time I have few friends. I look forward to your blog and check it every single day, for new ideas and inspiration, and projects to make our home a wonderful place and respite for my soul. You truly are a bright spot in my life.
Thank you again
Heather
So clever and the red is perfect! I am on the lookout for a footboard!
I absolutely adore your style! You have the greatest ideas and you make it all look so easy. Thanks for all the inspiration.
Oh good grief, you are so clever! You inspire me--thank you!
This is just AWESOME!! So clever!!
LOVE the headboard/chalkboard. What a clever idea!!
What a creatively wonderful idea!
A friend sent me a link to this because I've talked about something similar, only using an antique door or something- this is much lighter and do-able! I think I'm going to try it, with the addition of the knobs (so I can hang pretty things from them!) but I was wondering: How did you attach it to your wall? It could be pretty heavy. Do you have time to let me know? I would so appreciate it- thank you! You are inspiring!
Angie,
I have a red kitchen & breakfast den & a gold living room, so I've very much enjoyed browsing your blog.
I used chalkboard paint when my kids were children (now 27 - 40) but never would have thought of this use on the headboard! Ingenious! And very lovely too!
