Chalkboard Contact Paper Hutch Makeover

Before

 After

 

For a while I have had this idea to paint the inside of my vintage hutch with chalkboard paint. 

 But....it would be permanent and although I didn't spend a lot for this piece($60),

I still wasn't sure if I would like -FOREVER.

I realized

if I put contact paper up first over the glass &

then painted with chalkboard paint it wouldn't be-FOREVER.

So that is what I did & you can to, with just about anything!

Let the truth be told,

I adore chalkboard piant now but maybe not in years to come,

so this way it's a win win.

In case you were wondering......

this

is what you will need.

Benjamin Moore's chalkboard paint is the BEST!!!

You know when you wipe & it leaves a white fog over the paint, well this doesn't.

Also, the Mod Podge tool is a must for those air bubbles. Work from the middle & out.

Oh, I forgot you may need an exacto knife especially if you are painting a mirror or an inset.

If you want clean lines use painters tape, it is worth the time!

Also, I did have to seam it in the middle so don't worry if your contact paper isn't wide enough, once you paint you won't be able to tell.

THE RESULT

It's fun & unexpected and the best part -REMOVABLE!
