I found this cupboard door recently at the ReStore (Habitat For Humanity) for$1.00. I figured there was something I could do with it. I decided to make it into a menu board to sell in the craft bazaar.
Here was the condition it was in to start with. It was water damaged on one end so I knew I would need to sand it down.
After sanding I applied a coat of primer (Kilz) and let it dry.
I taped off the frame and sprayed chalkboard paint on the center section.
I then removed the tape from the edges and taped paper to the center section so I could spray the frame (I forgot to take a picture of this step).
I added the vinyl lettering and some black upholstery tacks to the frame for interest.
Because there were eight sections it left a space so I thought I would make a "requests" space. I am always up for ideas from others. I have joined up with Poppies at Play for some linky fun.

I love this! Great job. The tacks added just enough and the requests square was a stroke of genius!
That is fabulous! I love how you were able to transform the door into such a usable piece. That will sell in a heartbeat!
Have a great weekend.

That looks like a project that might make me get a little more organized with planning my meals. I think I need to go to Habitat to get a door! Great job and good idea too!
Connie.. I LURV this! What a great idea. I want one!
I love what you did! Seriously so cute.
Great idea! Turned out really cute. Unfortunately, it would remain blank most of the time at my house--I never know what's for dinner!
What a perfect project and tutorial; love the repurposing on this door.
How do you do that? I would never think of something creative to do with a old cupboard door.
I love it!!

Brilliant idea, and it looks great!!
What a great idea. It turned out perfect. Mine would be left blank all the time. I am a terrible meal planner.
What a cute idea! It turned out great!
I LOVE this! It's so cute! Man, this would save me having to answer the 'what's for dinner' question I hear many times a day! I'd just point to the sign! So cute!!!
