My Grandma's Grandfather built it for her when she was 3. The frame is very orange & as much as I love white I am nervouse to paint it. I thought if I just stained it a little darker that may help? I am just so nervous about hurting my great great grandpas slate. (My Grandma had it reframed by a handyman in 1955, so that helps me feel comfortable to restrain) I am also curious about how your hubby made the little grooved piece & attached it. Ours has a little tray for chalk, but it is flat & the chalk always rolls off. I'd love to put a grove in it If it wouldn't ruin it.Mary Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02178600279867837248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696992016149740083.post-73472172625864058862014-10-10T00:25:23.387-05:002014-10-10T00:25:23.387-05:00Love it Des!Love it Des!Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283260830637529760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696992016149740083.post-67955711197299204162014-10-07T19:10:39.689-05:002014-10-07T19:10:39.689-05:00Beautiful Des.
