Here was what the mirror likely looked like in it's previous life:
I found this at the antique store a couple weeks back marked $120. But mine (below) I found with the mirror cracked and in the trash down the road a bit... I took it apart and found a piece of wood hanging around the garage. My husband cut the wood to fit and drilled new holes to attach the frame to the wood. What a guy!
Next up... white spray paint for the frame and chalkboard paint for the wood background. Here's a close up:
I just love the detailing!
Now it hangs as an inspiration board/meal planning board near the eating area and my desk!
(sorry for the photo quality... no sunshine here in days! :( )
I call it a "free" project... my husband adds up little odds and ends we needed (paint, chalkboard paint, screws, and his time) and prices it out at about $30... either way - it was worth it! Now it houses my current favorite Bible verse, this fall it will likely be meal plans!
