How to Create a Farmhouse Kitchen Chalkboard
I did this makeover in a round-about way...
not knowing what I wanted to create until I got started.
My first thought was to add a box to the front of the mirror...
a flower box style that could create storage on the mirror.
The base is a piece from a small curio cabinet I disassembled.
On this base I built a box with scrap wood.
I attached the box and the base to the bottom of the mirror using screws, nails and wood glue.
As I said this project took on several changes as I proceeded.
At first I began by painting the whole piece white...
I wasn't happy with the weight of the old mirror so I changed my plans mid-way removing the mirror from the back of the frame and replacing it with a piece of pre-made chalkboard instead.
Turns out this was the perfect touch!
