Dresser Mirror Frame Into Chalkboard

by Robin @ Redo It Yourself Inspirations
(IC: blogger)
A huge dresser mirror frame was at the curb. I grabbed it and brought it home.
Only to find out it's laminate.
So I painted chalkboard paint on the mirror backing (mirror missing, probably why the frame was tossed.)
Then lightly sanded with a foam sanding pad.
Using a wooden fruit tray scrap from my stash, I made cubbies.
I sanded the little cubbies and applied dark wax before attaching them to the board.
I used hot glue to hold them in place while screwing behind to secure them.
(Chalk dust)
Proof that laminate can be painted and appear antique! :)
Enjoyed the project?
