Menu board

I had one more triple frame to paint yesterday and I thought I would try something a little different with it. I decided to turn it into a dry-erase menu board.
I painted the frame black and then I took a nesting box and chopped it down with the chop saw and painted that black as well.
I glued the nesting box to the bottom of the frame. I figured that would be a nice place to keep the markers. With a little vinyl lettering I created a place to write what's on the menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Easy as pie and I'm up for anything that can help tackle the "what's for dinner?" question.

    Very cute idea. I like that you reused a pre-existing frame.

    that is so fun! The only problem is that you have to plan at least one meal ahead for that.
