An old mirror gets a new life as a beautiful farmhouse chalkboard with a flower box for notes, memos or even flowers.

My first thought was to use the mirror but as this project progressed I decided that changing out the mirror was an even better idea.

I built a wooden framed box and attached it to a wooden base I had in my stash from an old curio cabinet.

I attached the mirror to the back of the box and painted the whole piece white... then I had a change of heart.

The mirror with the box was very heavy so I switched gears mid project and pulled the mirror out of the frame and inserted a piece of pre-made chalkboard to it.

The mid project switch was a great idea because the project took on a whole new look! I added some knobs to the front of the chalkboard that work as hooks to hold leashes or keys.

This chalkboard is now perfect for writing notes, stashing coupons, and hanging keys and leashes.
