mirror or chalkboard?

Remember this lovely, to-die for dresser and mirror?
 Well the lovely young lady that bought it did not want the mirror.  So, it has sat in my garage for a long time. I kept wondering what to do with it.
Then it hit me- a chalkboard.  We took out the mirror - and wow did they make those things heavy back when.   We put in a lightweight plywood and then painted it with good old chalkboard paint.  
Now I think she is ready to grace a lovely buffet in someone specials dining room.  And the big meal holiday is right around the corner..Thanksgiving.
She heads down to the booth tomorrow..
Where would you put her?
until later, tammy

  12. I just got a mirror very similar to this on Craigslist and found your blog by searching "Mirror to chalkboard" on Google. :) Just wondering, how hard was it to cut the wood to fit into where the mirror was?
