My office decorating is almost complete, I have a few more things to do, like install a closet door and paint it\u2026sounds like fun right? Um not really. Anyway, over the weekend I finished up a project I have been working on. I had an old mirror that I wanted to make into a chalkboard for my office. I wanted a place to write all my \u201cto do\u2019s\u201d and keep things a little more organized. Plus, these cute little frames are soooo cool and fun!<\/p>\n

So, for the instructions on this project. All you need is an old wooden picture frame or mirror. I simply took the mirror part out and then went to the hardware store and had a piece of 1\/4 inch MDF cut to fit inside the opening. There is a small lip on the inside that kept the glass from falling through. I got smooth MDF so that it would be\u00a0easier to write on. Then I painted the wood with black chalkboard paint. Next I spray painted the black frame teal blue. I originally got the mirror from Home Goods several years ago on clearance, it was only $15 bucks. There is a small chip in the wood frame, but I couldn\u2019t really tell. The frame was originally gold leaf, bleh, so I painted it black and now teal \ud83d\ude42 Once it was dry I inserted the chalkboard part and nailed it into place. Then hung it on the wall \ud83d\ude42 The entire project was around $15 bucks and I have lots of left over paint and wood so I can make more!!<\/p>\n

Here are a couple of images \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"Now that everyone can see my\u00a0\u201cto do\u201d list for the day, I am off to my Disneyland, Target \ud83d\ude42 Oh and I can cross one thing of the list, I folded the mound of clean laundry in my living room.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Thanks for stopping!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
