Cabinet Door Chalkboard

Finally! I have completed a project to post. Was it hard? No. Time consuming? No. Have we all been sick? Yes! Has the weather been crap? Yes! Did my computer have major issues? Yes! Does it feel like the stars have all aligned against me? Yes!
BUT~~>here I am. Still standing and ready to post my latest project.

I started with a cabinet door & yes, I forgot to take a pic of it before I started. But here is what it looked like after several coats of spray chalkboard paint on it:

(craptastic pic-sweet!)

(lil more real)

FIRST: I taped off the "border" and spray painted the center with several coats of chalkboard paint
When it was dry, I mixed some paint colors to get a dark grey. I put two coats of dark grey on the border. Once that was dry, I mixed some more paint to create a green'ish' color. I brushed it on lightly and let dry. Once dry, I gave it a very light sanding and distressed with Black Soot Distress Ink.
I spray painted a silver drawer pull a green called Fern and added it to the chalkboard with two black screws.

And HERE it is:

    Can I simply say what a relief to uncover an individual who really knows
    what they're discussing on the web. You actually know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More and more people have to look at this and understand this side of your story. I can't believe you are not more popular given that you most certainly have the gift.

    First off I want to say great blog! I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing. I've had a tough time clearing my mind in getting
    my thoughts out there. I do enjoy writing but it just seems
    like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted just trying to figure out how to begin.

    Any suggestions or tips? Appreciate it!

    of exclusive content I've either created myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any solutions to help reduce content from being stolen? I'd really appreciate it.
