You Guessed It...

You guessed it.

Another project...or two.

This whole SAHM thing is awesome.

I get so much done since I am child-free all day long.

Awesome.

I found this mirror at one of my favorite consignment stores in Dallas:

Sorry...I couldn't figure out how to take the pic without myself in the reflection...and Carter.

Silly boy.

Ugly, huh?

But...I had to have it...especially once I saw the $34 price tag.

I loved the shape and details and immediately thought

it would make a great chalkboard.

SOLD.

I started with spraying the frame with this:

I then took out some glaze we had, tinted it with some acrylic paint

on hand as well and began fauxing...is that a word...the heck out of it.

I then rolled on the chalkboard paint directly to the mirror.

I finished by adding some brighter gold in some

places and adding more glaze in others.

Result:

 

Next project.

I am decorating a little differently this year for Halloween,

and in doing so, I needed a new banner for the fireplace.

The letters were .99 for the whole package, the paper came in a small Martha Stewart scrapbook paper book which after my coupon, cost me about $3.00 and I already had the ribbon.

On to the

next project!!
