Chalkboard Globe

A few months back I found this cute little globe at HomeGoods while shopping for some bookshelf accessories for our house.

I snapped this up because I loved it's size (small) and I loved the shiny silver finish on it...but I wasn't so in love with the actual globe itself (not loving the color scheme).

Last week I was finally able to give it a quick (and I do mean quick...likely 10 mins of my time total) makeover.


BEFORE

My materials included the globe, a small can of chalkboard paint, a foam brush and some newspaper to cover the table...


After two quick coats of paint, here she is perched nicely on one of our shelves...



I can't remember where I found that quote but I thought it was fitting for a globe
"Home is Wherever You Are"


And now I'm just dying to get my paint-on again...I've completed a few other projects that have involved my chalkboard paint...stay tuned!
