I made a pretty chalkboard using a great mirror frame last summer. I put it in my booth to sell and as it was so cute, it was put outside to attract attention along with other goodies. Well it fell down when a gust of wind came up and broke one of the little curly ques so I took it home to fix it where it promptly was forgotten.
I spied it earlier this week and thought broken or not it would make a great subway art piece for Christmas!
I think this may just not make it back to the store now!
I think it was made for this wall! It is sitting on top of the old time radiator that helps heat the room
Have you used Subway Art in your decor?
I had so much fun writing out the words- wish I were a bit more artistic in the penmanship area but I think it looks pretty good for the most part.
If you would like to see more of the pretty room plus tons of other Christmas-

If you are wanting to try to make your own ,
I just found a great little tutorial over at You Seriously Made That? on how to make you
own Subway art using the Picnik Program.

I would totally keep that home! I love the way it looks with the subway art!

Pretty board, worth keeping broken or not. I like the tree too. Happy holidays, Laura
I hope you really do decide to keep the chalkboard, because it is definitely perfect for that space.
I can't tell you how lovely is has been for me to go through your home tour to see all the beautiful Christmas in your home. Your built in china cupboard is gorgeous!!! And the new cover on your fainting couch is so pretty my friend.
Wishing you Joy this Christmas!!!
hugs from here...
Mary,
The Subway Art Chalkboard is a "keeper"!!! I adore how you've propped it on the rad! I use one in my kitchen for the Menu Board! Thank you for showcasing the compote full of silver ornaments. I have my MoMa's compote (very similar) and I never know quite how to give it the attention it deserves. You have some of the BEST ideas! Thank you for your sweet comment and visit...stop by again, soon!
Fondly,
Pat
I didn't know about Subway Art until I read your post. I like your little chalkboard, and think you should keep it.
I LOVE this! Thanks for your kind comment on my open house post!
This chalkboard makes a perfect addition to your Christmas decor. Thanks for posting the tutorial on how to make your own on picnik!
Merry Christmas to you!
Oh, it's adorable! I have a 6 foot tall chalkboard I made for my kitchen and I sympathize with your handwriting agony, though yours looks really good-- really! (Wa-a-y better than mine!)

This is so cute. I am currently obsessed with chalkboards. Everything I see I want to turn into a chalkboard! I just did a tutorial on my blog on how to make these. Great job!
I love that chalkboard subway art. I would so keep that. It's too cute to part with.
That's pretty cool, Mary. I love it....Merry Christmas...Christine
Great idea, Mary. That room looks beautiful, and the chalkboard fits in perfectly. Yep! I think you'd better keep it there. Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas and new year. laurie
I love it, keep it, use it and enjoy. Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving such a sweet comment. Richard from My Old Historic House.
So pretty, Mary! Love the subway art! Merry
Christmas!...hugs...Debbie
Very Pretty! I am your newest follower visiting from Coastal Charm. Your blog is very pretty too!
What a great idea. You were clever to pattern that after the subway art.
Perfect...I think it was meant to be at home with you :) Laurel@chippingwithcharm
i love it, the frame is gorgeous xxx
The chalkboard looks lovely. I love the angel cushion as well. Thanks so much for dropping by L'Heure Bleue At Home.
You are so right, it looks made for that spot! Just ideal.
What a good idea...subway chalkboard art! It is adorable!
Oh, it's beautiful....it was almost like a 'Where's Waldo' moment as i was trying to find the broken peice....it's gorgeous as is! xoxo, tracie
So pretty! Love that photo with the tree in the foreground. Stop by and link up if you have time. Merry Christmas!
