I’m still on my quest to get this house organized, digging into all those forgotten and messy places! I wanted to get our coat closet organized and functioning better. This in one place in the house that can get out of control fast! I was tired of going to grab a hat and having the whole pile come tumbling down.
So I picked up my supplies:
4 canvas bins
Chalkboard paint
Paint brush
That’s it!
I got these bins for cheep at Walmart. They have an opening on the front to slide in a label. The idea of cutting a piece of paper to fit the opening, writing what’s in the bin, just to have to do it all over again when I want to change what goes in the bin, does not thrill me.
So I decided to just use chalkboard paint instead. I used DecoArt’s paint as I have a ton of it and it’s a pretty good product!
I used my paint brush and applied the paint directly to the plastic window. I just used a small brush and free handed it.
I gave the window two coats of chalkboard paint to give full coverage.
Once the paint was dry I let it sit for a couple days before I labeled the bins with a chalkboard pin.
I just love bins and chalkboards and organization! It makes me so happy!!!
Simple. Easy. Functional.
