The nice guys at Lowes cut a piece of wood for me the same size as the old mirror, and then I painted it with chalkboard paint. And I really did make cheeseburgers in a pan, but usually that menu will say, "You're on your own, I'm having microwave popcorn."
And here is a new rug I got at Target.
Zach dripped pizza sauce on it approximately 26 minutes after I got it home. Which is REALLY awesome.
