Ya'll are funny! Nothing like a little pressure to get the job done..well almost done.

I will show you what I have so far.. One window screen. Remove the moulding and screen.

Many of the screens have these great little metal numbers on them. Guess they had so many windows they needed to number them? I don't know the reason behind the numbers but I sure do love them!

I made sure to keep the integrity of each screen, meaning leaving holes where there once was hardware. After some sanding I placed the screen to the side and started working on another board in which to place inside the screen space. I used chalkboard paint. In Love~

Are you feeling it yet....wait for it...

Add a lil fancy wood jewelry to her and...wait for it..

Here you go..

Half finished! I have a few ideas for the empty space but you will just have to wait a lil bit longer..

Now just so you don't go all frettin' on me here is a finished one for you to rest your sweet eyes upon. You like?

Here's another ...these are HUGE and to think these are the small ones.
Here is a little history lesson for you..... Ever wonder why windows were so large back then? In the olden days,like plantation day's, doors were taxed on homes built. They got smart and got around that tax by having large windows. They would just open the windows and go in and out. Now remember,they were much shorter than we are today. A 5' man was believed to be of very tall stature. That would have me walking tall...hehe. Rooms were taxed back then as well so they left out closets...this would be the reason behind all of those wonderful Armoires! {Can you tell i use to be a tour guide at our local plantation..back in the day!}
So far I have these two black ones complete and the white washed one halfway...

I really like this one...

Wouldn't it look great where the vintage keys are? Right by my backdoor it could hang. A message center of sorts...I'm liking this...2 and a half down = 13 and a
half to go. What would you rather next to your chalkboard? Cork..fabric..dry erase board...would love to have your input~
