Here's another great place
to display photos in your home!
I had a side table with a glass top
so I gave it a chalkboard look with paint.
I painted the body with white chalk paint
and sanded the edges.
Then I wiped on clear wax
followed by black wax on the edges.
For the top,
I base painted black.
Then after loading my brush with clear glaze,
I dip half of the brush in white and half in black
and apply in a figure 8 motion.
Chalk your pattern onto table
using a damp paper towel to make corrections.
Now I have the pattern laid out.
Spray with a clear sealer.
The chalk lines will fade but still be visible.
Using a liner brush with white paint,
lightly brush over lines so you can still see
fuzzy irregular chalk pattern.
On the circle chalk design,
use your finger to rub on the white paint
for chalk like appearance.
You can spray seal again,
but I just left mine.
I sprayed the handles with
black hammered finish.
Then I added some black and white photos
and put the glass top on.
Easy to change out.
If you don't have a glass top,
you could decoupage them onto table,
or have glass cut.
Just another way to think about function
for the furniture in your home.
Thanks for stopping by!

This is an awesome idea!!! Now aim going to have to go back to goodwill because I was there Friday and they had two glass top end tables for $10 each!!!
oh clever :) I have a small featrure wall that divides my kitchen living area and was thinking of chalkboard paint but not very practical for the kitchen side......this would work beautifully....thank you x
Two things from this post... never would have known that wasn't chalkboard paint, and we have a glass covered chalkboard table that I never thought of making look like matted photos.
This looks amazing Deb! And so creative! My boys would love something like this... they love checking out pictures of themselves:) Thanks for the tutorial!
Deb, what a darling idea! I love all things chalkboard!

That's really a cute idea. I like how you outlined the areas where the photos should go. The glass makes it practical.

A wonderfully functional...and pretty...way to combine furniture and display! I love what you've done here. Beautiful...especially the personal touches (the photos, the hand-drawn chalk art).
This is too cool!! Great project Deb!!
Who knew there were so many uses for chalkboard which I am seeing everywhere these days. Your table is terrific.
This is marvelous! I am honored that you shared at Home and Garden Thursday!
