Whiteboards may be useful, but they're also often unattractive and cheap-looking. That is, unless you cleverly reframe one and make custom magnets, like this excellent DIY version from Voyages of the Creative Variety.
It's a quick project, and one that's perfect for both family kitchens and stylish offices. Plus — other than the frame and whiteboard — it requires materials you probably have on hand, like paint, masking tape, and wire cutters.

I *think* glass also has the ability to be a dry-erase board, if you use the dry-erase markers. So, couldn't you just put a nice piece of fabric behind the glass?
I write on our glass food jars with a sharpie --- it stays on great without smudging yet also scrubs right off with a soapy sponge.
I did a similar project using the same frame with my sister a few years ago, we used corkboard painted white.
This is cute. Another option is On Young House Love, they use a framed mirror as a dry erase board. Same idea- an attractive way to keep lists and messages. With no work.
Tin snips ≠ wire cutters.Thankfully the person that made this knew the difference.
