Chalkboard Toaster Tutorial

UPDATE: So I just got a comment from someone telling me, that Latex Paint can be flammable. We gave our toaster a quick test run and it seems fine (obviously that doesn’t prove anything!). Just wanted to let you all know!! Maybe it wasn’t the bestest idea I’ve ever had icon wink Chalkboard Toaster Tutorial I didn’t delete this post because of the tutorial itself. Before you paint something ask yourself this question: could this go up in flames?? So paint boxes, jars, furniture, but maybe not toasters icon biggrin Chalkboard Toaster Tutorial

Yesterday I got the Chalkboard Bug… And that meant, that I just couldn’t resist to paint our ugly red Toaster with that AMAZING paint icon wink Chalkboard Toaster Tutorial

When we first got married, I decided in a whim to have ALL our kitchen appliances in red. Thank goodness they didn’t have my KitchenAid Stand Mixer in red that day!! (even though, then I had at least a good reason to turn that into a chalkboard as well icon wink Chalkboard Toaster Tutorial )

Pretty simple, right? Here a few pics of the process…

This is how it looked after the first layer of paint. Let it dry completely (doesn’t take long at all, maybe 20, 30 minutes) and then add a second and possibly a third layer.

I used a foam brush and a cheap normal brush for the more delicate areas. Make sure you rinse them when you don’t use them.

Now, I haven’t used the toaster yet (we’re out of bagels…) and I can’t tell you how it will hold up over time. So don’t blame me icon wink Chalkboard Toaster Tutorial

Hope you guys liked this one icon biggrin Chalkboard Toaster Tutorial

I got the triangle idea over on Pinterest. It’s actually a lot of fun to do! And it’s worth to pay the extra bucks for a really good watercolor brush! Just a suggestion icon wink Watercolor Summer Style

feather net Watercolor Summer Style

I’ve never painted feathers before, but really wanted to add some to my gallery wall. I almost gave up as they just didn’t want to come out nice and then I had the idea to sketch them with pencil first and that really made the difference icon wink Watercolor Summer Style By the way, the big feather I found on the beach in Monterey when my friend had her Bachelorette Party icon biggrin Watercolor Summer Style The small one is from the doves that live on the roof at our place icon wink Watercolor Summer Style
