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!
Have a great night, and remember:
Always have a plan b!!
