Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware,
Ballard Designs, Antique Farmhouse,...
So much to love...
so little budget.
I sure hate to let all that inspiration
go to waste, so after my first attempt
at creating a knock-off project
{my Restoration Hardware "metal" stencil knock-off},
so little budget.

at creating a knock-off project
{my Restoration Hardware "metal" stencil knock-off},
I decided to try my hand at a few
other knock-off projects.
I'll be showing you some over the next few weeks.
None of these projects will require
a lot of time or advanced skills,
because few of us have either!

Today's knock-off was inspired by
a Round Wall Chalkboard & Magnet Board
sold by Antique Farmhouse for $28.
I snatch up old baking pans whenever I find
them inexpensively, so I already had mine on hand.
I thought the shape looked pretty close to the "model" piece,
and would give me a similar look.

I gave it 2 coats of chalkboard paint,
using a blow dryer to speed up the drying time,
and 10 minutes later had it finished.
I prefer using a paintbrush, rather than spray paint
to create chalkboards, because the brushstrokes
give the chalkboard a textured look that I
think makes them look older.

Umm...HELLO!
I love it and I didn't pay $28 for mine.

Because mine is a pie pan and not
a shaped piece of metal like the one sold by
Antique Farmhouse, it's slightly smaller.
Theirs is 14-1/2" in diameter and mine is 10-1/4",
but I think the look is pretty close
Next Thursday I'll share another
knock-off that I hope you'll enjoy!
Blessings,
Angie

This project is simply delightful . . . like everything else you do. I have the chalkboard paint, so I'll be looking for a pan while shopping garage sales this spring. Come on over and visit my blog, I would love to have you follow me, too. Your devoted fan and follower, Connie :)
ReplyDeleteNice job, Angie! I like to use a brush as well, and rough it up a bit. It has so much more character that way.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did! I saw that chalkboard being offered by Antique Farmhouse but wasn't going to pay $28 for it. Its nice to know I can make it myself!! I'm so glad I found your blog and I added you to my favs on Etsy too. :)
