I decided to make a cookbook holder instead for the kitchen, modeled after this $124.77 one I saw on a <a href="http://www.bonanza.com/booths/uniquebotique/items/Kitchen_Garden_Chalkboard_Wall_Organizer_Storage_Bin_unique_23503503" target="_blank">different website. </a><br /><br />I paid $80 for the Grevback, less than $5 dollars for the paint, about $20 for the letters, and $1 each for the knobs (so $6).   <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCmsOrIeDt33Nu2AHfryjjV0ArdlA8AEpjX5jADinSq4RVU1gyBPv7JvQkkc63fa7aobz0T6a7r-dOS8BC6BldxemmJeZcXpkthnXyu0QfUGpRU_KHpjUGal2CHL9FyDxTloXj5GBUAJRG/s1600/caba-719896.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="400" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545467763037831810" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCmsOrIeDt33Nu2AHfryjjV0ArdlA8AEpjX5jADinSq4RVU1gyBPv7JvQkkc63fa7aobz0T6a7r-dOS8BC6BldxemmJeZcXpkthnXyu0QfUGpRU_KHpjUGal2CHL9FyDxTloXj5GBUAJRG/s400/caba-719896.jpg" width="306" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV1uGc-vehFVWMFHo9sl6Ow2EZhjwogLh6wnw0Uoh2njg7_lo0qJ5HDvvAmhMDyUuX1hL-iGbRKZv43Ocd3cBE5csG8zqYUQb6MzBEC0BbwtASfwQRTNc2lpxeJlPQcUjZ5FM9mjn6HiMN/s1600/cabab-730194.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="300" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545467776262305490" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV1uGc-vehFVWMFHo9sl6Ow2EZhjwogLh6wnw0Uoh2njg7_lo0qJ5HDvvAmhMDyUuX1hL-iGbRKZv43Ocd3cBE5csG8zqYUQb6MzBEC0BbwtASfwQRTNc2lpxeJlPQcUjZ5FM9mjn6HiMN/s400/cabab-730194.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />First I taped the doors and used chalkboard spraypaint on the inside center.  I did about 5 or 6 layers over the course of a few days, giving it ample time to dry in between coats.  Then I put together the cabinet and used heart shaped knobs instead as a decorative accent that I found <a href="http://www.dlawlesshardware.com/hearknobinsa.html" target="_blank">online</a>.  The final touch was adding the rhinestone letters using <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Permatex-25905-Contact-Cement-1-5/dp/B000ALDYPM?ie=UTF8&tag=ikeahacker-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">contact cement</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ikeahacker-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B000ALDYPM" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" />.   <br /><br />The cabinet I made says "LOVE NOTES XOXO" but you can add whatever you want to customize it for yourself.   <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKUUiltc__tpCAPYx5txaL-ETSaU_kqnWBFbGbs8tePs45MMoDXUQdHD2ftt-mE8jecJ8CUQwDPucy8g2dqfT5d_L7OBr8FSDcLFLioQMRA0_lg5XnXIzcbQlryahy73QJKqSk8r-twtQ3/s1600/cabac-747998.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="300" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545467849053461282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKUUiltc__tpCAPYx5txaL-ETSaU_kqnWBFbGbs8tePs45MMoDXUQdHD2ftt-mE8jecJ8CUQwDPucy8g2dqfT5d_L7OBr8FSDcLFLioQMRA0_lg5XnXIzcbQlryahy73QJKqSk8r-twtQ3/s400/cabac-747998.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />Finally, write a cute message on the chalkboard, and viola!  Beautiful chalkboard cabinet for less than the used original one I had found online.  <br /><br />~ Christin Franco, Chandler, AZ
