Chalkboard Photo Frames Painted on Side Table

Here's another great place

to display photos in your home!


Pin It!







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.


Pin It!




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.




Pin It!




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!

Chalkboard and Coffee Chair Design

Coffee Crush Here.
 
Chalkboard Love a close second.
 
So how happy is this to combine the two!
 
 
 
 
 
Pin It!
 
I'm taking this little old lovely...
 
 
 
and bringing her into the "Starbucks" era.
 
 
 
Dry brushing white on black.
 
Transferring chalked back to painted surface.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Shading with Raw Sienna.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
and rubbing antiquing wax on the edges.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Because she needed a hip replacement,
 
I had to drill large sink holes
 
and then pilot holes with a smaller bit
 
to anchor the sides to the back with screws.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Then using mattress foam
 
and a coffee sack I reupholstered the chair seat.
 
You can find details on padding a chair seat
 
on my other blog posts (high gloss white) Here
 
 and (coastal chair) Here.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
where to sit ....
 
or to sell.....
 
 
 
Pin It!
 
 
 
 
 
So a 1980's do goes 2013 trendy
 
with Chalkboard and Coffee.
 
Thanks for stopping by !
