This year for Thanksgiving Michael and I hosted both of our families - ten people (and one dog) total. I wanted to do some special decor this year so I decided to buy a chalkboard and make my own art. It's all over the blogisphere so why not jump on the bandwagon?
I ordered a chalkboard from Restoration Hardware (this was their small!!). And I found this design on Pinterest.
Totally daunting at first, but I jumped right in. At first, I looked up how to create a chalkboard design via Google, but to tell you the truth it got a lot complicated, i.e. drawing quadrants, using a projector, etc. so I just decided to free hand it. I turned the board on it's side first.
While I did this, my little helper seemed very confused.
Once I completed the 'Thanks,' I turned the board right side up.
And then added the corn stalk.
Then I propped the finished product up on the make shift bar.
Everything looks better on Instagram.
By Thursday, the bar looked like this.
In order to entertain ten people, I ordered a farm table and cross back chairs from a place in Franklin - Southern Events. I highly recommend them.
And when the table was set, it looked like this.
Not too shabby huh?
E! Thanks for the post and the shout out. I am so very impressed with your chalkboard.... Who needs quadrants, etc.hope you had a lovely turkey day!
