Old mirror frame upcycled chalk board

My partner found this old plastic mirror frame out the local depo. I cleaned it up Applied some Crackling Medium to give the aged look (the crackle medium will make the top coat crack and expose the gold paint underneath) Used some left over White ceiling paint as the top coat Then I've filed some of the edges to add to the worn look And finally I painted the back board with chalkboard paint. I think I'll hang this in the kitchen and use it as a message board or to remind me what groceries I need each week [=
