Another Chalkboard Project
Hello ladies, how is your Monday going?
Thought I would share with you one of my latest chalkboards.
You all know how I love mirrors. Well, this actually started out as a mirror, and I fully intended on keeping it a mirror! I found her at a thrift shop (I know, in my excitement, I neglected to take a "before" shot!). Anyway, the mirror was not removable, so after I painted it, I used a razor blade to remove the paint which had inevitably gotten onto the mirror. Well, I ended up scratching the mirror! It was a tiny scratch, but since I was putting this in my Etsy shop, it had to be perfect! So, I managed to remove the mirror, and had hubby cut a piece of masonite, which I then painted with chalkboard paint. Guess it's always a good thing to have a Plan B on hand!!
I love these pretty wooden appliques! You can find them at Hobby Lobby or Michael's. I used a bit of epoxy to adhere it.
I painted it a pretty light blue, followed by some distressing and glazing. While it would've been nice to have remained a mirror, I think it's pretty as a chalkboard, too!

So pretty! And again, you've blogged about another project I keep wanting to tackle but haven't....something with chalkboard paint! Fantastic work (and advice....plan Bs are a must!).
I love chalkboard paint. This is another fabulous project.
Hi Donna....thank you for stopping by my blog. I love chalkboard paint too! I have used it on so many projects. Your project turned out just beautiful!
Donna, You have an addiction. LOL
Did I tell you I have a glue phobia, too? I only use my hot glue gun and elmer's. I can do glue stix.
But nothing else. No super glue. No apoxies.
I feel much better after that confession.
Hugs- Tete
I think your plan B turned out great! Looks wonderful!
Very pretty and elegant, I lake it!
I think it looks fantastic, Donna!!! So perfect!!!

Donna- I think I actually like the chalkboard better than I would the mirror! It IS wonderful! You always do such a GREAT job on your finds! Bet this one will fly out the door! Hugs- Diana
This looks great!
FYI...you can also get those lovely curlicue decorative details at most home improvement centers (Home Depot, various lumber places) and they are usually a much better price there than Michael's (at least in Canada)..at a sale I once got a whole bag of assorted sizes for about a dollar at the Windosor lumber store here....just a thought...
Love the chalkboard. I think this came out wonderful. I write too big else I would buy this one. I need a huge chalkboard because of how large I write.
