Easy DIY with Chicken Wire!

You guys, I've been trying to decide what to do with the empty wall space in the hallway for quite some time. I wanted to put photos up, but I also like to change things up pretty often. That brings us to today's super simple DIY.  I just adore the way it turned out!

DIY Wall Letter

Make Your Own Letter Decor

The inspiration for this project comes from this post that I came across on Pinterest. I knew I wanted a big L for my living room wall and buying one was out of the question. For the size I wanted, it was just too much.

I was really excited when I came across this project because the only supplies I actually had to buy were tape & spray paint.

Mirror to Chalkboard Makeover!

Is it just me, or does Pinterest make everyone want to spray paint stuff? I have a habit of buying vintage mirrors that I don't really need and was stoked when I found out that you can easily turn mirrors into chalkboards!

This is the mirror that I started with. It was pretty, but not really my style. The frame is plastic, so I thought it would be perfect for a makeover. Also, the back easily unscrewed. I prefer to take frames apart instead of taping them off if I can. It saves me a lot of time and the trouble of doing touch-ups.
