Gorgeous color! I had no idea paint would adhere to a plastic frame like this. Thanks for sharing this great project.

I have 2 very similar large, long, and heavy mirrors in my basement that I am planning on redoing as chalkboards and/or memo boards! Glad to see yours turned out so nice looking!

This turned out great! I just love the dry brushed turquoise. It really gives it that extra something and makes the details pop!

Hard to believe that is plastic underneath. The blue is great… what a transformation and for next-to-nothing!

You know we all pass these plastic ones up at sales because we don't have "the vision". I got the vision now!

I think this is a really great idea and you’ve made a lovely job of it. I’m always envious of people that can repurpose old things into something amazing! I’ll have a to keep an eye out for a mirror like that for myself!

Hmmm... I'm really liking the turquoise to bring out the details in this mirror.

Wonder how that would look in the kitchen on my newly painted cabinets?
I'm just not digging the 'black hole' affect. Maybe something like this would look good.
I may give it a try...I could always paint over it.

I love this mirror-- turned chalkboard. Great chalk work too...(lettering) You're so creative!

wow this looks absolutely fantastic. What a wonderful job you have done updating the frame and what a steal for $2. It looks great, and your chalk board writing is much better than mine 🙂

Hi, Gail. I’m a sucker for turquoise, so I love it! I have some dresser mirrors in my basement, waiting to be made into chalkboards or corkboards, but I’ve been neglecting that project. Perhaps I should get on it! I forgot I’d need to take the glass out, though. I guess I’ll use something else lightweight in place of the mirror. They’re real wood frames, so they’re pretty heavy right now.
