This was my first try with chalk board paint...and on a mirror no less. I thought I did pretty good...I'll let you be the judge!!
I got this mirror for $2 at my awesome auction!
Yes, it's pretty hideous! But I knew I could do something with it...so it sat around for about 2 months! My husband loved it! hehe!!
I finally decided to paint it. I taped off the mirror, just leaving the wood exposed.
I decided to paint it Heirloom White since that is what I had on hand.
As you can see...I didn't do a good job of taping it off!! Oops! Good thing I wasn't going to be using the mirror part for looking at my beautiful face!
I bought some Chalk Board Paint for about $4 at Walmart. I got these paint sponges at the Dollar store.
Now this is my first time with chalk board paint. I read the directions, it said to apply a few coats, letting it dry inbetween each coat.
After 3 coats, I primed it by rubbing chalk all over the board and then wiping away.
And the end result -- my pictures are bad today, but just go with it!
It was my son's birthday - Andrew turned 2!!
