As I mentioned in my last mirror makeover post. I've been cleaning out our warehouse and I've started to refurbish several old dresser mirrors. This particular mirror has wonderful curvy lines that I love, but the mirror had scratches and was too damaged for selling as is. So, I decided to paint and distress the frame a bold green color and then I primed and painted the mirror with black chalkboard paint to make it more updated and functional.
Here's what it looked like when I found it- pretty sad, huh?!
The mirror has come a long way! Now this bright chalkboard has a new home because it sold the second day we put it in the store. A sweet couple bought it for their baby's nursery.

ReplyDeleteI have done two mirror chalkboards and one just keeps scratching. I wonder if I should of primed the glass first to help? I did put several coats of chalkboard paint on and have since learned to moisten the chalk which helps.
