Make Your Own Dry Erase Board

we all are acquainted with these generic dry erase boards. they are pretty straight forward and quite boring. well, i wanted something different for our family room.  i was researching all the different types of solutions and even came across a type of dry erase paint.  well, my family helped me in this department since they were all writing on my glass tabletop!  so, when i saw the better homes and garden project of making a dry erase board with glass, i totally felt stupid not figuring this out on my own.  this design is so incredibly cool since you can pick out your own personal color.  well, actually that also makes the project a little difficult since there are so many paint colors to choose from!  once you pick out your color, choose out a frame that you want for the board.  i happened to have an aaron brothers frame that i bought with their great sale of buy one frame and get the second one for a penny.  next, you’ll have to clean off the glass with windex.

this is the paint that i used first. it is glacier from restoration hardware.

i used a roller since i wanted the surface to be smooth. and you’ll paint only one side of the glass. i ended up putting 2 layers of paint on the glass so that it was opaque and no streaks were visible.  let the paint dry (according to the instructions) before painting the second layer. 
then, just place the glass back in the frame with the non painted side facing out. here is how my board came out with a darker blue, the glacier blue was way too light and just looked like the hue of the glass. this color just kind of sat on top of our tan wall color and really didn’t add anything to the room.  i wanted a little bit more of a pop!  

well, hello green!  this color is from benjamin moore and it is called, dill pickle green. it is just the color i was looking for.  i have quite a bit of this accent color in the room.

it is also adds a nice contrast to the tan walls and plays nicely with the grey chevron print on the my letter j.

my daughter had fun drawing this colorful picture of summer!  we use the standard dry erase markers. my son wants me to make him one that is black and then he will use fluorescent marker, which should be fun.  i hope i have inspired you to make your own fun dry erase board. if you wish to receive my latest projects please sign up for my blog. thanks for stopping by!
