Pretty much every item you can think of on this earth (pun intended) has been covered with chalkboard paint, hasn’t it? So, I am pretty certain someone has already thought to paint a globe with chalkboard paint.
I think it is a great way to revamp an outdated globe and to honor our dear Mother Earth on Earth Day! I just couldn’t convince myself to throw it out during the purging of all the old ‘stuff’ I cleared from the ‘new’ guest room…I have a particular fondness for globes – outdated or not – since one of my children was born on Earth Day!
So, now the old globe sits proudly in the new guest room.
And, since the globe is an accessory (my second!) in the room where guests will be staying, my idea was to decorate the chalkboard in one of two ways:
1. To write Welcome! in an outline shape of my state (Connecticut), or
2. Draw two states – mine and the one the visiting guests hail from!
In light of the occasion, you may also enjoy this post on repurposing brown bags…Happy Earth Day!
Thanks for stopping by!
P.S. I took the butterfly photos in this post used with the quotes last summer – we haven’t had any weather yet this year that warrants butterflies!
