Holiday Home Series: Christmas Menu Board Tutorial

Welcome back to The Holiday Home Series.  

In the dining room, I usually have a round black mirror over the buffet.  I moved it into the living room when I decorated our Christmas mantle.

To fill in the space I used an old mirror I had stashed away to create a Christmas menu board.

Here is what it looked like when I brought it up from the dungeon (also known as my storage room).

I gave the frame a quick coat of Krylon primer and my very favorite Krylon Cherry Red Spray paint, the same color I used for the Christmas Highchair.

After the frame dried, I applied Rustoleum Chalkboard Paint from the can, directly onto the glass mirror. They sell a primer that is recommended for adhesion but to be honest, I skipped that step and it turned out great.  

It was a little early to decide on the Christmas dinner menu so, I hand wrote the lyrics to one of my favorite Christmas carols for the interim. 

Since we have a faux tree, I like to use fresh greens throughout the house for the fresh pine scent of Christmas.

In this case, I picked up a basic fresh pine wreath and embellished it with glittered snowflakes from the Country Living Ornament Collection at Kmart.  

I bought every last snowflake at The Dollar Tree so for this project,

 I had to resort to the $2 snowflakes at Kmart.

My plan is to display our Christmas greeting cards around the menu board using double sided tape.  

Hopefully, in the age of the internet, we will get a few.
