DIY | Photoshop Chalkboard

I've seen a few tutorials online for creating pencil-like and chalk-like drawings, images, and words using various brushes and downloadable tools.

But then I was on the train for an hour, wanting to create a Wish List and draw arrows using a "pencil," and unable to get online and download anything.

Sometimes when we're sans-internet, we curse the internet gods. Sometimes, it makes us get creative and figure-sh*t-out.

DIY Decor | Chalkboard Bedside Table

Tweet this!

Two Things: 1. The need for a bedside table in Justin's apartment was beginning to get a little overwhelming for me.2. The need to turn any and everything into a chalkboard can be difficult to shake. So why not kill two birds with one stone?

We did some searching around various thrift stores to find just the right item, but the search yielded no results. So we decided to use a table that I had in my room. We got some awesome drawer handles at Ikea, some paint at Home Depot (special thanks to the dancing paint expert who manually dialed up our paint mix as the store was closing), and decided to go to work.
