That’s how I managed to get my jars looking so cute, in case you were wondering.

At the bottom, a basic 2×2 piece of lumber allowed him to create a little “sill” for the chalk to sit on.He finished it off with some more decorative molding.

The end result looks pretty and classic, and it’s exactly what I had in mind!.When it came time to hang up our fancy new chalkboard, we couldn’t just do the basic “nail in the wall and a piece of string” method, now could we?Well, actually I totally would have if it was up to me.

Or I would have just hot glued it right to the wall.Of course Chris stepped in and decided to do things the “right way”.

And his right way was, well….

We don’t really want a wobbly chalkboard that could fall down at any second hanging in our daughter’s room.Or maybe light fixtures.

Scott’s been known to recommend using just a teeny bit of “bling” here and there..But you know what he said?

Safety concerns!Well, isn’t that just too smart?
