Mirror Chalkboard

I purchased a French Provencial dresser for our living room and I was the "bit seperating" deal on CL.

So I got stuck with a tri-fold mirror.

I knew what I was going to do with the center piece, I was going to make a chalkboard.

I have been dying for one this large, but refuse to spend the money on one that was already completed.

So here we go:

Tape it off.

Two coat of spray paint chalk.

Pulled the tape and then taped the board to paint the frame white.

Tadaaaaaa!

It's new home!

                                                                                           

Garage Sale STEAL!

When I travel around the south and check out all the great stores and their antiques or sometimes even the thrift stores, it always crosses my mind.

"I can find a better deal then that."

Some of the time, I don't and later kick myself for not grabbing certain items up when  I saw them for $10 cheaper somewhere else.

But that philospie has helped out this past weekend. We were on the way to grocery shop and passed by this gated community. In the six years we have driven by this place, I have never even seen a car go in, but today there was a Garage Sale sign out front. So we had to go.

And I am so glad that I did. I got everything for....

$5!!! Yes FIVE dollars!
