Here is my newest makeover. This was a very simple one and an example that starting with a great piece makes all the difference. I purchased this mirror a few weeks ago for $5.00 at a thrift store…or was it a yard sale…all of this junking becomes a blur after a while.
First of all, it needed a good cleaning. I then removed the mirror from the frame to apply a Spray Primer by Krylon followed by two coats of a White Satin spray. I really liked this piece as a mirror, but thought it would look cool as a chalk board as well. Why not have both? So, I painted the back of the mirror with 2 coats of chalkboard paint. I can simply flip it over to reveal the mirror side when I want to. I love versatility!
So, here’s how it turned out. This frame is just to die for! I love the curves and scrolls.
You can spray any frame and insert a chalk board, but it’s the shape of this frame that really makes it a special piece. Keep an eye out for a detailed frame and you can easily reproduce this look. I love it so much…I think it’s going to find a home in my office instead of my shop.
Make sure you come back tomorrow for Furniture Feature Friday! Next week will be the first linky party, so get those projects ready. In my post tomorrow I will show what the giveaway will be in order to provide some incentive and I have a great feature in store for you. If you love furniture makeovers, become a follower, grab a button, and spread the word!
Also, there’s a great party happening at Funky Junk Interiors on Saturday. I’ll be there!

Gorgeous!!! I love the fact that you kept the mirror on the other side so that you can change it out, very versatile!!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving such a nice comment. I usually use the glass knobs too, some of the wooden knobs that I used were ones that I had saved from an old dresser. It's nice to have another use for them, great for kids rooms.
I love it!!! I still haven't done anything with chalk paint yet!

Sorry for offtopic
I'm making on of these as we speak! I can't wait to see how it turns out after I'm done with it!
I had been looking for an ornate mirror for 2 months and finally found one at a local flea market…unfortunately, it cost $16.50 for the mirror (I had found others, but that one was the cheapest)…
I'll post it this coming week! Thanks for the great idea!
