I bought a basic chalkboard from Michaels and I would like to "beautify" the frame part. Its just a wood color but its smooth, so im wondering if paint would look ok or if i should buy wood to put over it? i want it to have a beachy feel. I like the wood on the chalkboard frame that you made for your parents. Any suggestions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927526976748945841.post-21072388952258674952013-01-24T23:49:19.825-05:002013-01-24T23:49:19.825-05:00I am so glad you like your pillows, Melissa!
