Some days nap-time is filled with working out, taking a short nap, cleaning or reading, BUT the other day, I was feeling an urge to do something crafty (and FREE, since I already had the supplies on hand). I've had this old mirror since college and it's been sitting its lonely butt in the closet for quite some time. So, I decided to revamp this bad boy.
Here's the mirror....not ugly, but not too cute either.
I envisioned hanging it here:
I HAD to include this picture with an ADORABLE boys face reflecting in the mirror. I know, I know. I'm a LITTLE biased. Just a little.
I first taped off the inside edge and painted the edge with an"Oops" paint I found at Wal-Mart for 50% off. It's a deep turquoise color. My camera does not do it justice.
Then, I taped the outside and spray-painted the inside with......
.....THIS!
Here's the new chalkboard up on the wall next to the pantry. I've been using it to display what's on the menu for that night. And this is NOT the kind of food I cook on a regular basis, so please lower your expectations of my cooking skills. Haha.
A quick and cheap project that made me feel like I accomplished something today! :)
LOVE the chalkboard and LOVE the menu.
ReplyDeleteI painted a chalkboard on the kitchen wall at our other house and I miss it! This would be alot less permanent which would be nice. We were limited on space at the other house and I had to have something I wouldn't knock off the wall, lol. This may be my next weekend project :).
ReplyDeleteI have a mirror that is just sitting around waiting to be turned into a chalkboard - thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteGreetings! What a fantastic idea! I have seen around blogland making a chalkboard with a mirror frame, but never with the mirror still IN it! So this is really easy. I think I will be doing this soon, so thanks for sharing!
