DIY Chalkboard Coffee Table

I found a really ratty coffee table, but the base still looked good. I dragged it home, removed the moldy old top and cleaned up the metal legs. I decided to turn it into a chalkboard coffee table! I bought a piece of 1/4 inch mdf, a can of chalkboard spray paint and some bolts to attach the top to the base.

After I cut the top to size and drilled holes for the bolts I gave it two coats of Kilz primer. I sanded everything smooth and sprayed on two coats of Rust-Oleum chalkboard paint.

Yay, chalkboard coffee table! It's going to be fun sketching, jotting down notes, or even playing games!

Original acrylic painting on canvas. Available on my website.

Anatomical Heart Painting

Here's a sneak peak at my newest painting. I've been facinated with anatomy since I was a kid. I even had my own dissection kit which I brought to my biology class in middle school. That's probably why I didn't have very many friends...

Turkey Stock

I'm making stock today with the bones I saved from my Thanksgiving turkey. I'm following the recipe in "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" and using fresh thyme grown in my Aerogarden. I can't wait until it's finished!
