Coffee Cupboard with Chalkboard Menu

October 27, 2010 by Aliesha

As our family grows, I may not always have the luxury of having a cupboard in my kitchen solely devoted to coffee, but for the time being it is really wonderful!

I recently jazzed up our coffee cupboard by painting the inside of the door with chalkboard paint and writing a “menu,” coffee shop style.  (Note: I bought a quart of chalkboard paint.  Tad has ten bucks riding on half of the house being painted by the middle of next week.)

I taped the area with masking tape and painted three coats of chalkboard paint, allowing each coat to fully dry in between.  I seasoned the board by rubbing the side of a piece of chalk all over it and then wiping it clean.  Now I’m looking for more things to paint…
 

And, yes, I can make everything listed on the menu!

P.S. You’re going to want to try this Pumpkin Spice Syrup recipe!
