Have I mentioned how much I LOVE chalkboard paint??

Hello again! I have officially been on summer break for one week! Woo-hoo! I have been busy with projects around the house (and enjoying every minute of it!). One of my favorite projects I've completed this week is making a dresser for Olive using chalkboard paint and this plastic storage bin. It's inexpensive and easy to do!

Start with this (BORING!):

        Use painter's tape to mark the area you want to paint:

 You know how Rachael Ray doesn't like to measure when she bakes?? Well, I don't like to measure when I d.i.y. I prefer to "eyeball it." It adds character when things aren't perfectly perfect! (If you really feel the need to measure to make sure your rectangles are exact, then go right ahead...I won't judge you!!)

 Apply several coats of chalkboard paint:

 I applied 3 thin coats on day one and a fourth coat the next day.

Let it dry for 24 hours after your final coat of paint.

Be really careful when peeling the painter's tape off!!

Label with chalk:

Tah-Dah! The boring storage bin is transformed into a cute dresser, perfect for a toddler's room!
