Recycled Window Turned Chalkboard

I'm not immune to the whole chalkboard craze. And, I can see how it can be a little addicting. First, I did this old, weathered window I picked up at a local antique store for $30.

I liked the little ledge on this window...perfect to put little candles and knick-knacks on. I tore off the quilt that was on the back and removed the hook that was in the upper corner. I used the chalkboard paint you brush on (I couldn't find the spraycan version). Here's the finished product:

Since then, I've been eyeing up all sorts of things around the house. Next on the list is to create wine glasses like these from Pier 1:

What chalkboard projects have you done or seen around???

I. Hate. Painting.

And, most of all, I hate painting the same thing 4 times. Or was it 5? I lost count. With the exception of drawer pulls, the cabinets are finally done! We didn't sand them and used a coat of Kilz as a primer. Followed by another 3 or 4 coats. With 22 doors to paint, we had to set up a work station in the basement and could only paint half at one time. As of last night, all the doors were finally done! Now we are in search of some pulls. I'll post some better pics soon, but here's the before:

And after:

We decided to leave the doors off of two cabinets to make open shelves for some of our cookbooks. I'm thinking of painting the back of the cabinet walls blue to add a little contrast.
