How to Make Chalkboard Lamps
Give your old lamps a new look with help from design blogger Janell Beals.What a thrill, I am exited to share that my post showing how to make chalkboard lamps has become a tutorial on thenateshow.com! Check it out here...
When I painted the chalkboard lamps it was on a whim. I had a pair of lamps that needed an update to fit into the new design plan for Max's room and I just happened to have some extra chalkboard paint on hand, left over from painting the chalkboard stripe in his room. Nothing like needing to figure out how to use what you already have to inspire creativity. I'm certainly happy I thought up the project now...
Okay, I promise, no more Nate for awhile! Maybe...

Congratulations! Your ideas and projects have always been such an inspiration to so many, especially me. I just want to cover everything in chalkboard paint now. I have to restrain myself.
Ha!! I ever wrote a post about that urge...it IS rather addictive! Janell
That is a big accomplishment to be on Nate's show, we are all so proud of you, so don't feel like you have to hide your success. When people see that I used chalkboard paint on my dog's food bin in my pantry, they say I have too much time on my hands. How rude! They just don't understand how addicting that stuff is!
Oh I am so thrilled for you. It was wonderful to see you featured on his show. You are such a talented lady. Hugs, Marty
Janell, that is awesome. I remember well when you were on the chalboard paint kick....I've got many of your uses filed away in my inspiration files! Also, missed your post from the weekend but it was inspiring. I totally agree. I talked about starting my little business for nearly two years and finally did it when timing was less than ideal....but I realized that you have to start somewhere and put your mind to it eventually. Congrats for all of the recoginition that has come your way! It's by no chance!
That is hilarious Stephanie, even I haven't thought of painting anything belonging to my dog!! :)

It can be a very easy to more difficult project, the second link is to the simple version! Good luck if you decide to cover some shades and let me know how it goes!
Janell
This was a great project.
How exciting!! Love the project and to get to be on Nate...beyond fabulous -
You are one lucky girl! How exciting! All your hardwork and creativity has payed off!
I find the chalk board paint trend rather amuzing as I first painted my own ceramic work with chalk board paint instead of glaze 7 years ago. It is simply fun and interactive.
I am your newest follower! I love the Nate Show and congrats for being featured on the show! This ia a great tutorial and I am getting ready to redo one of my lamps in the master bedroom this week! Thanks for the inspiration :)
Congrats! It's a great tutorial, and I'm sure the world will be jam packed with chalkboard lamps now! :-)
How cool! I saw that segment on the Nate Show and just stumbled upon your blog today for the first time. Very nicely done! Congratulations!
Still so excited for you! How neat! How did he find your great tutorial? By the way, love how the master bedroom is coming along!
