i found this mirror at a flea market for $10.00. it was a dark brown wood in really bad shape but i liked the detail at the top.
the silver was flaking off the back and was not usable as a mirror.
so i removed the mirror, painted it white, distressed the detail and slapped a piece of mdf board behind the frame.
two coats of chalkboard paint later and we have the perfect display for our new
family motto....
happy tuesday...

I LOVED the mirror as it was...worn but you did a knock out job with it as a chalkboard!
Hi Cindy,

Cindy,
Love it! The detailing at the top is soooo pretty! Your family motto cracks me up! :)
You wanted to know what my husband thought of the gray battleship? He likes it and said he knew all along it would turn out great~ yea, right! I guess I surprised him! :)

Very nice...beautiful transformation especially the white paint. The original mirror was lovely too, but I agree, the chalkboard would be more useful.
Saying hello from a fellow WW participant. Please stop by when you get a chance, I'm having a nice giveaway. Au revoir.
