Paint Dipped Chalkboard Utensil Holder

May 8, 2014

Hello there Love Grows Wild Readers! Ashley here from Cherished Bliss again! I sure hope you are enjoying the weather where you are! It has officially warmed up to spray paint weather here in Wisconsin. Now I just have to beat the rain ; ) At least it’s not snow… I’ll take what I can get. I have had this mason jar sitting in my kitchen holding my wooden spoons for a while now and I just knew it needed something! It was too plain. So as soon as I could get myself and a bottle of chalkboard spray paint outside, I did!

Paint Dipped Chalkboard Mason Jar Utensil Holder

I didn’t necessarily use the chalkboard because I want to write things on my mason jar utensil holder, but rather just rub chalk on it to give it that “slate” look. I think I accomplished my mission!

Are you eyeing those Wood Burned Spoons? You can check out my tutorial for those here.

Mason Jar Utensil Holder

Our kitchen is probably the most used room in the house. My kids are always hungry, it’s where snack time takes place, obviously it’s where I cook, and we have our family meals every night in this room. Our kitchen doesn’t have a lot of drawer space, and I prefer to not have a lot of stuff on the counters. So if I have to have some things on the counter I would like it to be

a) painted (cause I paint everything)
b) a chalkboard < this isn’t totally necessary, haha
c) in a mason jar

ok ok, I kid! but not really.

Ok, let’s get started on this! Here is what you will need…

Supplies:
– Mason Jar
– Painter’s Tape
– Chalkboard Spray Paint
– Wooden Spoons – so you don’t have an empty mason jar ; )

Tutorial:

First clean your mason jar so you can prepare to turn this little guy into something awesome! Tape it off so that you can create your “paint dipped” style however you would like.

Then you can take this bad boy outside and whip out your spray paint. Note to self – create a holster for spray paint cans! You will need two coats of your chalkboard paint. Follow the directions on the can on re-coating! You can prime it first if you want. I didn’t because well… I’m impatient and I’ll just re spray paint it if necessary ; )

Spray Paint

If for any reason your tap didn’t leave you a straight line, let dry, and then you can use a razor blade to scrap off any unwanted paint. Next up, just take a piece of chalk and condition the chalkboard paint. (you typically should wait 24 hours for this)

Now, just wipe off the chalk, slip in your spoons and skip a night of cooking! You deserved it, and you should probably sit down and admire your work ; ) Pizza night anyone?! : )

My kitchen is a work in progress, I hope to be getting some remodeling done soon. Here are a few other accessories I have made in preparation! : )

Hello, my favorite beach hat. I’ll wear you in t Hello, my favorite beach hat. I’ll wear you in the warm sunshine again one day! My suitcases are looking awfully lonely lately, and I’m getting the itch to take the boys somewhere... ANYwhere. I’d take a road trip and some sunshine and a change of scenery in a heartbeat. Anyone else feeling ready for spring and getting that travel bug?

Share some ideas for safe travel destinations that we can follow all the distancing rules, but feel just a little bit of normalcy again. ⬇️ Where would you love to go this year? (even if all we can do right now is dream about it 😉)

HOW TO PAINT WICKER FURNITURE:

The perfect example of design on a budget. I feel The perfect example of design on a budget. I feel like kids go through so many phases of what they do and don’t like as they get older, and we’re often changing the boys’ bedrooms to make them function better as they grow out of each phase (way too quickly, I might add 🥺).

I’m a big believer in teaching kids to be mindful of taking care of their belongings and their home from the time they are little, which is why I don’t worry so much about light colored couches in the living room or white walls throughout the house. BUT kids are also kids, and I design their bedrooms with a much more frugal budget so that if anything gets old & worn or needs to be replaced/repurposed... I don’t sweat the money that was spent!

In this room we used inexpensive pieces from IKEA, Target and Walmart to create a cozy teenage boy’s room, but it definitely doesn’t skimp on style. We’re planning a little makeover again in this room soon, and I’m excited to show you what we have up our sleeves for my now 15 year old... good grief, where does the time go?

A weird side angle of the living room as proof tha A weird side angle of the living room as proof that a giant TV does in fact exist in here, and we are just a normal family who loves movie nights snuggled up on the couch with the dog & football Sundays with all the yummy food during the game (one benefit of having an open concept living/dining room). I purposely placed the TV in a spot where it isn’t the main focal point of the room and designed the space to draw your eye to other much prettier things like the big picture window just to the left of this photo.

Want to try something like this in your living room? See if you can arrange the furniture so the TV isn’t the main focal point in the room, but still has visibility from the majority of your seating. Try making the focus a fireplace, window, or create a gallery wall with pretty artwork if you don’t have any standout architectural elements!

Just a little tidbit of advice I’ve learned & loved & wanted to pass along... Happy Monday, sweet friends!
