I'm a bit late jumping on this trend. My cheap thrifty self didn't want to fork over the money for chalkboard paint (which means I'll NEVER get the new rage of chalk paint because that's even pricier!). Sure I had a million ideas for how to use it but I kept putting it off.
Well after I picked up this piece from the lovely Sue of Sullivan and Murphy during her porch sale I got off my rumpus and bought a quart.

| The before I've been a chalkboarding fool ever since. Much like my glitter addiction I can't stop putting this paint on. I've made tags and trays. I put some on the niche in the Master Bathroom. No surface is safe! If the kids stay still long enough I might even give them a chalkboard make-over. Think how easy it would be to clean them up after a wet soccer game or melty popsicle on a summer day!  Why did I wait so long to get this stuff?!!!  |

I've done chalk paint before, and it is the handiest stuff!!! Love it, and love what you did with it!
Did you use the spray paint or the brush. I wasn't impressed with the spray paint. Your table looks Great!
Carrie, I like what you did to my sweet orange table. Now you can write notes to the kiddos or the husband! Or even write a note to yourself~ I'm glad the table went to such a good home!

And most moms threaten death to their kids who write on tables!
DAWN TO DUSK
Yellow’s the color I wear at dawn
When dancing dewdrops spangle the lawn.
Red is the color I wear at dusk
When earth and sky are dry as a husk
And nothing stirs—not even a wing
Of bat or swallow or anything!

This is such a cool project. I found my chalk paint at a garage sale. ; ) I have done some projects with it too. It is awesome.

That is a sweet project--how many times I've passed up a little table and could've done this (had I thought of it)--thanks for the inspiration--love it!
What a cute project. Love the red with the chalkboard paint. Thanks for linking up to Share the Love Wednesday!!

Do we have to call chalkboard painters anonymous for you? I love the texture of that paint and have painted some non chalkboard type things with it. It's even flatter than regular "flat" paint.
I love your chalk table.
Chalkboard paint is wonderful stuff--- glad you took the plunge..it looks so sweet! :)
