More fun with chalkboard paint

Two years ago, the branch of Washington Federal I work at had a Christmas Eve morning brunch and gift exchange.

That morning I got a not so beautiful plant pot (pictured below). Actually, I think it is kinda ugly. What do you do with something like this?? Its not something I would put in my house but yet I still have it two years later.

I also have a spider plant that was given to me by a co-worker at Horizon several years ago that badly needed to be replanted. So what do I do....

I sand the entire pot and saucer with 220 sandpaper. It didn't look like it, but did the job enough so the paint could hold.

And then I spray painted both pot and saucer with the black chalkboard paint I got at Fred Meyer for my wine glasses. Following the directions and three coats later...I think it turned out perfect! And the spider plant looks very happy in its new home.

I'm actually really excited to be able to write messages to the girls on this when the get a little older :O)
