This tacky mirror was left in our house by previous renters. You can't really tell on the picture, but the frame is cheap plastic. I like the curved top and it's the perfect size for the wall where I want to hang it
So take it apart and paint the frame white.
Paint the mirror! I've discovered that when you use chalkboard paint it's best to give whatever you're painting a good coat of regular black paint before applying the chalkboard paint.
When the frame was dry I put on a layer of Dark Walnut Stain. (Love that stuff! It makes everything look amazing!) When it's was about half dry I wiped it down with a rag, 'till just the right amount was left. Left it to finish drying then gave it two coats of Polycrylic.
So there you have it! It really doesn't look that great in the pic, but on my wall it's so adorably,cute!
The corner of the frame where you can see the detail a little better.
very nice :)
