Chalk This One Up To a Mistake
Remember the mirror I used for my hall tree? I said it had been a mistake mirror, one that I had messed up while sanding the frame. The mistake mirror was just right for the hall tree, and the frame was calling to become a chalkboard.
The piece of masonite that backed the mirror was perfect for chalkboard paint.
The frame had originally been painted black, which wasn't going to work with the black chalkboard paint.
Some fun turquoise paint, some sanding and stain made a mistake marvelous.
What have you made from a mistake?

I love chalkboard and I love the color of the one you made here! I would have to say that the MAJORITY of my best projects come about because I made a mistake or screwed them up somewhere along the line. LOL!

ReplyDeleteLove it! I made the same mistake last week! I painted over a pic that I thought was a print with chalkboard paint. After the first coat I realized it was an actual painting!! You could see the strokes through the chalkboard paint! So I turned it over and painted the other side, lol. Going to post mine soon! Love the green/teal frame.

Looks great, love repurposing! Love the color too.
ReplyDeleteYour chalkboard is fabulous! Love, love the frame!!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, you got me thinking now. I don't know that I ever was on task enough to think of how to reuse a mistake, unless it was dinner! Decorating mistakes I probably just lived with, but that was before....... of course now when I have a opps, I'll be saying WWBD...."what would bloggers do?".
