Making Memories Carousel Makeover...

My friend bought me a Making Memories carousel when I first moved into our new house...I loved it! And still do...even more now that I gave it a make over a couple of weekends ago...



I painted it black...



And then added chalkboard paint to the cubby sides...



And used chalk to list what was there...(even though it is fairly obvious what is there...come on now, it's just darn cute!)

Love it!

But be forewarned...it took about four coats of black paint and two more coats of chalkboard paint and all weekend to dry! Worth it? I think so!
