How about a message board?
The picture was nice but had suffered water damage. The mirror was in good shape, may find another place for it.
The first thing I did was to paint it one coat of CeCe Caldwell's Vintage White chalk paint.
Next I needed to distress it. I thought I had a picture of it painted, but doesn't seem to be. You can see the paint job in the top half that I created as a cork board.
I used a piece of luan for the top so I could put push pins in it. I covered the luan with a piece of fabric left over from some drapes.
For the bottom part, I used another piece of luan and painted it with three coats of green chalk paint that I purchased on clearance.
Here it is hanging in my kitchen at the other house. The walls are pale green and it looks great. ![Fluster's #CreativeMuster Linky Party 68 Fluster's #CreativeMuster Linky Party 68](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFrX4QCgVg5BIh0hwPC0PjF-LU6fevccaWUD1V-Wz2pzypdFpHcJwZQhSs4uD10y2lTn2ZIAHCSEbj-6_bjtcAJUQuhr-4lbRT61y_AVL-ZxvBoguP1xoIOk-mTspYDaPN2J2OkigLCpCf/s1600/Party+Button.jpg)
