I have the cutest painted cheese platter to share with you today. But it’s not your average cheese platter … the surface can be written on with chalk!
This project started with a thrifted wooden cheese plate with a glass dome. It was a total steal at $1.98! I loved the shape and size of it but didn’t like the dated wooden base. It was screaming for a little makeover!
To transform my little cheese platter, I used DecoArt Americana Acrylic Paint in Desert Turquoise and DecoArt Clear Chalkboard Coating {my favorite product!}.
I painted the wooden base turquoise then covered it in the chalkboard coating …
… turning it into a turquoise chalkboard surface! Isn’t that fun?
Just a note: the paint isn’t food-safe so I placed the cheese on a circle of parchment paper before placing it on the painted plate.
Not bad for $1.98 plus a bit of paint, huh? I love the way it turned out. Perfect for the next wine and cheese night!

I’m so glad you did the side view, because I thought it was a hamburger without a bun and couldn’t figure out what the words had to with it. I don’t get out much 🙂 Love the plate, so cute!
Love it! I WANT that paint!
Love this idea!
I love this ~ I had no idea there was such a thing as clear chalkboard coating. I am definitely going to be buying some.
This is just the smartest idea ever!! Your pictures are gorgeous too my friend! Hope you have an amazing week!
Take care,

I’m stuck on the toffee cheese. Seriously?!
I love the chalkboard cheese plate! Perfect for entertaining in an rustic but elegant style. I am sitting here trying to think about how to make one big enough to fit all my favorite cheeses!
Never knew of this product…love this idea.
