Easy Noteboard DIY

 I think every barn needs some form of whiteboard/chalkboard/noteboard. I know there are tons of handy apps and tech friendly ways to organize and share things, but I guess I’m just old and still just wanted a place to write things down. 

I wasn’t just finding a lot out there that 1. was big enough for a wall  2. sturdy enough for a barn 3. fit my ultra cheap spending habits.

So I made one. 

Here are your instructions:

1. Find an old glass window
2. Paint the back side of the glass (or don’t - depending on the look you want/effort you feel like expending)
3. Hang it in the barn

Mine works perfectly with dry erase markers or chalkboard markers.

I could have tried harder and made it fancy, but I had blue paint and a big old red window from the house. And that’s as far as I got with that ;)



Final caveat: it’s still a glass window in a barn. It’s hanging in my feed room, away from destructive ponies.

  1. having a good central note board is so so useful... we have two main locations, one with a white board and the other with a chalk board, where both boards are basically ancient and all screwed up with permanent marks and cracks and whatnot... i may or may not fantasize about a nice fresh new upgrade LOL! yours looks great too, nice way to repurpose an old window!

    1. I could have tried so much harder, but for the effort expended it's pretty great!

  3. I love DIY projects. This is a great feed room idea indeed. Nice caveat catch on the glass and destructive ponies part, too. :-)
