Cabinet Door Turned Chalkboard

My latest project was an easy one, finished in less than an hour.  My husband, firefighter and handyman, had this old cabinet door leftover from a handyman job.  I couldn't resist doing something with it.

Get ready for a face-lift, old door.

First, I removed the old hinges and handle.   Next, I filled in the screw holes with putty.  After that, I sanded the whole thing down.  I wiped it down with a damp cloth and allowed it to set a few minutes in the sun.  I rolled two coats of chalkboard paint in the middle section and finished it off with white trim paint on the outer section and sides. 
All Done!

I recently used it at a storybook baby shower.
