Painting Projects

Remember this mirror I found at Home Goods over Christmas break? It was on clearance because there was a small crack in one corner.

So, I painted over the mirror with chalkboard paint {the Martha Stewart kind from Michael's} and then painted the frame with leftover white paint.

It's now the perfect chalkboard menu in our kitchen! Our old menu board was actually just a decal. I was on the hunt for a different one because I thought the decal wouldn't really transfer well to a new apartment.

I also got around to one of my resolutions, painting our tv stand white.

It doesn't look like much now, but in the future, I'm hoping to make a little media center with our white bookshelves.

I can't quite cross this resolution off my list though. The tv stand is a hand-me-down from my parents and it's missing the back. Getting some plywood cut to replace it has been on my to-do list for, let's see, almost two years. I swear I'm finally going to get it done this week!
