Life size chalkboard with Vintage Architectural Rosettes

Get ready to ooooh and ahhh....

This life size chalkboard was custom created for our home. We used Vintage Architectural Rosettes dating back to the 1800's!  The complete design was crafted around those pieces.  I'm a fan of all things "Fluted" and LOVE Rosettes!! Especially ones with nail holes and dating back so long ago!

Everything else but the Rosettes was crafted by the husband and I think he did an amazing job bringing the vision to life!!

Total dimensions are - 27 1/2" X 59 3/4"
Yes, almost taller than me!!

Amazing side view to show the 2" depth and curves of the base and another 2" depth of the ancient Rosette!




Our color inspiration!!


Love what you see??  NEED a Mirror or chalkboard or frame like this??  Email us @ courtlynandcompany@gmail.com.

And as always, THANKS for looking!! And feel free to share!!

Salvaged Cypress Window turned "Chic Chalkboard"!

Our refinished, salvaged, cypress window turns into a Chic chalkboard! This cutie is finished in Teal and the bold contrast with the blackboard is stunning!!

 Available for sale...





All original hardware remain, including the rope.  We think this will look amazing paired with a vintage backplate and crystal door knob to be mounted on the wall and hung by the rope!! (See pics below). Just ask and we can include that pair with your purchase for an additional $35. 





These are LIMITED in quantity at the moment so reserve yours today.  You can do solid blackboard (chalk), solid cork board or combination chalk and cork.  

Here is a combination Chalk/Cork finished in a minty "Sea Glass" and walnut finish:








 Available for sale ...



This is my personal piece and is hung on a vintage crystal door knob and vintage, rustic backplate.  I chose double cork as I have a large chalk board in my kitchen. This one is finished in a minty "Sea Glass" and walnut finish.

 (This one is Not for Sale but can be duplicated in the smaller window size)

Up close of finish...

Hung by original rope from vintage crystal door knob and backplate!  LOVE!
