I recently painted an extra mirror and turned it into a chalkboard for our breakfast nook. I also painted a decorative scroll I had to match the chalkboard. I'm really happy with how they fill the space!
To convert a mirror into a chalkboard:
I sanded the frame, but not the mirror, and wiped both surfaces clean. Next I applied multiple coats of chalkboard paint using a foam brush to the mirror. If I remember correctly, I waited about 4 hours bewteen each coat. Next, I painted the frame, let it dry and then seasoned the board with a layer of chalk. Finally David hung it on the wall for us and we oohed and ahhed :)
