New Year’s Resolutions Chalkboard + $75 to Lowe’s

D7K_5209

This month’s Lowe’s Creative Blogger team challenge was “New Year’s sparkle”.  If you know me, you know I’m not especially sparkly.  Winking smile

So, what’s a girl to do?

I asked for suggestions on Facebook, and I was still stumped.

I went to Lowe’s and walked around for inspiration and came across these

and then the wheels started spinning.

Supplies:

D7K_5184

Frame (mine was 16 X 20 and purchased on super clearance…you don’t need the glass so thrifted or on clearance because the glass is broken is perfect)
1/8” MDF cut to size of frame
Valspar metallic spray paint
Valspar glitter spray pain
Valspar chalkboard paint

I gave the frame 2 coats of the metallic paint.  It is COLD here, so I painted it in the garage and then brought it inside to dry between coats.  It might still be drying if I hadn’t.

Then, I sprayed the front with 2 coats of the glitter paint.

Glitter is hard to photograph, but here’s the best picture I got of how it looks in real life.

I painted the MDF with 2 thin coats of chalkboard paint, one in each direction.  And then after it dried I put it in the frame.

We each came up with a resolution (OK, we made up that last on on BC’s behalf because he was at work and not answering his phone) and wrote it on the chalkboard.

We’ll keep this displayed all month long to help us remember our resolutions, which will hopefully make us more successful.  Winking smile

  108. Our second child and first son was born on August 28th (hooray!) and we closed on a brand new house on August 31st – and it’s a fixer. Suffice it to say, we have projects. BIG projects!! C’mon, Lowes!

  132. Eileen Engel says:

    I made my New Years resolution in October to lose weight. I figured that if I made it through all the holidays and I stuck to my program I could continue into the New Year and give myself a pat on the back. Well. guess what, I stuck to it !!!! I lost 35 lbs and I am still going strong. So I guess my New Years resolution would be to continue what I have been doing, plus, give myself a pat on the back, and to continue being proud of myself!!!!

  133. I want to get my craft/sewing area organized.

  134. I would spend a gift card on wood to build stuff for my home.

  135. Eileen Engel says:

    My resolution is to be true to myself!

  149. I am going to clean and organize all my fabric and craft stuff. I have two rooms that are not usable because they are so cluttered. We have been trying to get things fixed around the house so have ended up with stuff shoved here and there to get it out of the kitchen and livingroom. SO, this year I am going to organize and get rid of! (Something hard for me!)

  150. Since we are fixing and redoing much of the house (out of necessity – leaks in plumbing, floors going etc) I NEED any Lowes cards I can get! We basically get everything we can from Lowes as I do not go to their competitor, so this would be wonderful to win.

  162. All rooms need a new paint job so I would buy paint!!

  163. To be perfectly honest, I don’t make resolutions because I get defeated when I fail and I would rather be working on something all year long rather than just give myself one shot a year to be successful at it!With that, I have about 8 projects on our home list that we want to update/remodel so we hope to make progress on that this year!

  164. We would use the gift card as we’re starting a DIY remodel/repaint of our kitchen. New crown molding, new microwave, moving a few things around, etc. It’s amazing how fast our money disappears at that store!!!

I’d like to craft more and make more quilts, but also do different things and stretch my creativity a bit. I’m hoping this can be the year where I open an etsy shop and start making things to earn some cash with my creations.

  178. Jessica Nix says:

    I resolve to seize & embrace the moments I have in my harried life with my four young children.

  191. My resolution is to lose this baby weight before summer!

  192. The gift card would go towards a compound miter saw for my husband!

  193. Sallie Fitzpatrick says:

    The usual to lose weight: not only do I have a 10 year reunion this year, but I also will be having my first neice or nephew born this year so I want to be healthy for them!!

  194. Sallie Fitzpatrick says:

    I have lots of things I would have to decide the priority to buy with the gift card :) Light fixtures, faucets, landscaping, etc.!

  195. I have to say, my New Years Resolution would have to be now, to go into a Lowes store.
    Nope, I never have been in one.

    Nance

  196. Ok I ad to go to the Loews website for this second entry.
    I have a room (the whole house but need to start somewhere) in my home that is paneling.
    I hate it. It is dark and just depressing.
    I don’t really want to just paint, and can’t afford to sheet rock it.
    So, maybe something in the way of filling in the grooves of the paneling, and then painting with a strong good primer, then a coat or two of a seafoam green, sand stone or ocean blue.
    There ya go….. a start

  197. MY theme of the year this year, is BE PRESENT. I need to spend more time being mentally present with my family as well as during conversations with others. I need to spend less time thinking about the past and worrying about the future. I need to live in the now.

  198. Same ol’ stuff! Eat healthy, be a good mommy, be a good wife, and lead by example!

  199. We have some fence posts down that I would replace and work toward finishing an unfinished room in our house.

  200. Same old resolution, but it has worked well for the past few years, so I’ll go with it again – lose weight.

  201. I would spend the gift card on paint for my interior walls and for my front porch.

  202. Very clever

  203. One new year’s resolution is to finish organizing my house. I made great progress over the Christmas break and I want to keep that momentum up and make sure everything has a place.

  213. Thanks for the opportunity for this! I’d love to give this to my husband, who has taken all of his time to do my projects rather than his! He’s building a work bench/storage in the basement

  214. My resolution is to be more patient with my 3 year old and to let him try things himself. He desperately wants to pour his own milk and cereal, why can’t I just let go and let him?! I will – very soon.

I’m not doing so well as I came home from my quilt guild meeting last night and immediately cut into my new bundle of Madrona Road fabric. :)

  263. I’d love to win a Lowe’s gift card. We just bought a 1920s farmhouse to restore. I love your framed chalkboard. I didn’t realize they had whiteboard paint also, or I’d have been an addict a long time ago. Seriously thinking about whiteboard painting and chalkboard painting an entire wall of my new office!

    I would use the gift card on some organizational items to get my craft area disaster a little less disastrous!

  286. Ashley Lindberg says:

    If I were to win I would use the money to buy trim for my basement. We want to sell our house in the near future to meet the needs of our growing family but have to take care of a few cosmetic things around the house.

  287. To have a softer response to my children.

  288. Paint. I so need to paint my house.

  312. Anne Zayas says:

    One of my new years resolutions would be to be more organized. My craft things are all over the place which is the reason I would need the $75 Lowes gift card to put towards shelving & other tools needed to make this happen. I have recently started crafting & have no place to really put anything so it’s scattered & have trouble finding things. Horrible, isn’t it? This gift card would help me jumpstart my crafting & sewing in the right direction! Thanks again! :o)

  313. Great project! It has so many uses after the New Year. I need to get all craft supplies organized and easy to access so I would spend the gift card on storage supplies or things to make my own storage containers.

  314. I am going to try and walk the stairs more often and park farther from the door when I am out shopping.

  315. I’d spend the gift card on clearance christmas as well as some of that chalkboard paint for some kids crafts.

  319. I resolve to get organized and donate a lot of the crap I’ve made…and bought! My husband is convinced I have become a hoarder, so I must prove him wrong! I would spend my Lowe’s $$ on shelving to make custom shelves for different rooms, and to add storage to our bathroom downstairs, which has a pedestal sink and absolutely no storage cabinets or shelves. Pick me, pick me!!! ;) (waving emphatically). ;)

  320. Wanda Warfield says:

    I would use the gift card to help with my make-over of my bedroom.

  321. Wanda Warfield says:

    A new Year’s resolution is to eat better food and not buy or eat as much processed foods, hoping to be healthier in the new year.

  327. My resolution is to be more intentional… you know, with my time, my money, what I eat, etc. :)

  328. Oh, I’ll totally buy paint if I win! I gotta get me a chalkboard up in here STAT! :)

  329. How did you attach the MDF to the back of the frame?

    • Char @ Crap I've Made says:
