Picture Frame Menu Board

I purchased a picture frame recently and before I could use it I broke the glass. I could have purchased a new piece of glass, but it was an inexpensive frame and that would have cost more then I had spent to begin with.

I stewed about it for a while and then had the idea to use it to pretty up my menu area.  This is what the area previously looked like.  

Functional but not at all pretty.  I put the frame up and got a general idea of the inside area of the frame and then taped it off. 

I dug out the can of chalkboard paint and got busy. 

I used Velcro to attach the frame to the door. 

The menu would only take up about half of this space.  I then needed to decide how to use the bottom half.  I thought about using it for a to do list or for listing shopping items.  In the end I decided to write a scripture.  I ended up choosing Matthew 4:4.   I used a chalkboard marker from Hobby Lobby.  An indulgence that I have never regretted!

After seeing how pretty it looked I was on the search for an attractive menu calendar. 

If you are interested I got my menu here.  It is 8x11 standard if you print it.  I saved it and put it into my Hallmark card making program so that I could change it to print landscape. 

I love when I am able to take something that might otherwise become trash and make it into something useful.  Especially when it becomes beauty!  I can't tell you how many times I have opened the cabinet door to peek at this. :)

May your day be filled with joy and contentment!
