the finished chair. and a matching chalkboard--What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday, #296
Good grief it's been a whole week already! Finished the chair, the girl child likes it loads--AND the matching "chalkboard" to go with it, which will hang on the wall next to the desk:
The "chalkboard" has the same crackle finish as the desk, and the same colors--the lighting here is a little funky, as there aren't any windows up on the landing where this set now resides, so it looks a little off to me in these pics. The chalkboard is really a picture frame, and the glass has been finished with Americana Gloss Enamels Chalkboard paint--pretty amazing stuff! It's like a really real chalkboard now!
The chair has the same yellow and green which were used on the desk, in the stencils--this photo was taken while the desk was still downstairs, the colors show more accurately here, you may remember this photo:
The paints are all Americana Chalky Finish paints, along with the Crackle Finish and Satin Varnish AND stencils from the same line--so easy to use, I'm totally hooked. Seriously, I keep looking around for more things to paint, it's getting ridiculous . . . the daughter-in-law wants me to do up a desk for her now, too!

That's such a pretty chair, no wonder she's delighted with it. I love the chalkboard effect. Thanks for visiting me already :)
Wow, didn't you do a great job?! That chair is fabulous as is the chalkboard too. I'm not surprised your DD loved it!! You ought to go into business :-)
Hugs, LLJ 26 xx
What a fabulous job you have made of that chair. I love the stencilling. I agree with LLJ you should go into business - you could charge a fortune for that work.
Hugs, Neet (and thinks for visiting me when I was out) xx
I'm loving what you've done with the chalkboard and chair. Very impressive

Oh that furniture looks wonderful! I love chalk paint. In the UK they have Annie Sloan's chalk paint (see my WOYWW last week when I did a workshop).
I love the stenciling on the chair. Brilliant.
Thanks for visiting earlier.
Have a great week,

Nice job on the chalkboard and the chair! I'm always impressed with people who can write neatly on a chalkboard.
Thanks for the visit to my blog earlier and for the kind words.
Happy creating and happy woyww,

Super result. Lovely to see it all finished. Anne #40
That is amazing you can just suddenly turn glass into chalkboard. The chair is soooo adorable!! Thanks for the sweet visit. Sandy Leigh #61
Your chalkboard and chair look great! Very creative. Thanks for stopping by and for your nice words.
The finished products are completely lovely. I love the vintage looking paint jobs on everything. I can see why you are looking around for more to paint. Plus I'm jealous of your chair. I have no hard chair in my house. I really want to get at least one (I have a bum hip that requires an exercise that I have to sit on the closed toilet to do because we have no hard chair). Is that not insane? It doesn't even have to be painted fancy like yours.
The chair looks great, such lovely subtle colours lol at your looking for more things to paint .... I can be addictive can't it .... Good luck

Well done, Trisha. All finished and gratefully received - makes the hard work all worthwhile, doesn't it? It looks great.
Thanks for visiting - no, crochet isn't a poor option - it was just that I have so many other things to do, too, but needed to be downstairs on hand for the workmen...
Still, done and being enjoyed.
Take care. God bless.
