Dinner Menu Dry Erase Board

I have been sick for almost three weeks now and it has not been fun. I was in the middle of refinishing the gun cabinet when "it" hit me, and now that I am starting to feel better I just had to accomplish something from start to finish and quick. So I decided to make this...

I took a $5.00 frame from Walmart...

Added one coat of blue paint...

Applied my favorite glaze with a lint free rag...

Sanded and stained some of the corners with Minwax Dark Walnut...

Bent the little metal things until they fell off...

Hot glue gunned the glass in...

Soaked some strips of ripped muslin that I had stamped in water with tea bags...

Attached the strips to the mirror once dried and ironed...

Put adhesive velcro on a dry-erase pen and the frame...

Hung it on a nail in the kitchen...

and glued an old button to the nail.

Ta Da! A finished project.

I always plan out 7 meals in advanced, and now I will be able to remember the meals I bought food for.

Here is a sneak-peek at the gun cabinet.

It still has a ways to go though... the doors need to be stripped and painted... I need new hardware... a board has to be cut and painted for the bottom... shelves need to go in... the whole thing has to be glazed and have a top coat applied... and molding needs to go on the top. Hopefully I will finish it in the next couple weeks. Don't hold your breath though.
