I found the above frame at Goodwill for only $3. I loved how large and chunky it was, but it was otherwise really ugly. Fortunately, it wasn't anything that a little paint couldn't fix. I bought it before we moved here and wasn't certain how I would use it. After we decided to make Sarah a little reading nook, I knew that the frame would be perfect for a magnetic chalkboard. The ledge on the frame is even large enough to hold a few pieces of chalk, a lucky accident.
