Megan-First of all, if you actually read or looked at the project, you would realize that it is not a MIRROR make-over, but an ugly plastic frame make-over. Had it been me who was in possession of that ugly thing I would have tossed it in the trash; I guess you would prefer to hang it as it was in your bedroom, all dirty and gross.

Monica-excellent use of an otherwise horribly looking frame, you made quite the transformation! Very Nice! =)

Sorry to be the one who feels the need to be brutally honest, but there are a thousand other things that could have made that poor ugly mirror into something better than a monotone pegboard. I kinda feel sorry for the mirror.

Wow! What a transformation. You’ve inspired me to hit the local flea market. I did something kind of similar a few years ago. I bought an ugly 70’s colored ceramic deer head wall hanging, and spray painted it white. My friends were dubious about the deer initially, but loved it after I painted it!

I absolutely LOVE your framed memo board. It turned out so cute! I am a sucker for houndstooth fabric and I think the green is fun. Great job!

You have such a great eye! I would never have seen the potential in that original mirror!

Valerie – Yes, I still recommend batting, but you can also skip it and cover the homasote with fabric, like I did in this project: http://www.craftynest.com/2008/08/bulletin-board-with-shutters/ Send me a picture when you’re done, and I’ll add it to the reader gallery!

I love this project, I just picked up an ugly plastic mirror this morning at a freecycle free for all and I’m thinking of turning it into a bulletin board similar to yours…would you recommend using batting still? I was wondering if maybe I could just skip that and cover the homosote (sp) with fabric
