I love this project that reader Christina did with her dad.
The best part is the steps are super easy! She bought a gorgeous mirror off Craigslist and removed the mirror. She had the hardware store cut a sheet of metal to fit the frame, using the old mirror's cardboard backing as a template (great idea!). Then the cut sheet metal got a couple coats of chalkboard paint.

Isn't the result fabulous? I love the soft white color of the frame! Dreamy.
