DIY delay.

Since I've been slacking on blogs lately I've got to update everyone on ONE of the MANY DIY projects I've completed. This one was really fun! I bought this mirror at the CHKD thrift store several months ago and knew immediately what I wanted to do with it. I bought all of the stuff and then it sat around our apartment for at least three months.


This little baby only cost around 3-4 dollars!


These were my weapons of choice!




First, I cleaned and taped the mirror with Frog tape. Because let's face it, Frog tape is Green and way prettier than blue paint tape! Yeah, I said it! BOO to the YAH.


Then, I started to paint.


And..paint.


And paint some more. The painting became very tedious because there were a lot of nooks and crannies. "But, Megan, why didn't you spray paint?" You ask. Well..that's a long story and maybe I should have, but I just didn't. Plus this was way more fun!


Here, you see Lee "helping" me apply the chalkboard paint. He insisted that he helped on this project.


After chalkboard paint is applied..


And here it is, proudly hanging on the wall in our dining room area..


Ta Da! We didn't really need any of these items, but it seemed fitting. It now says Lee hearts Megan :) And there you have it..this little project cost me less than 20 bucks and I will be sure its hanging in my big gourmet kitchen one day! :) haha
