Chalkboard Herringbone Side Table

September 25, 2013 By Jacque 9 Comments

The other day I shared with you my cute herringbone side table makeover.  What I didn’t share with you at that point was how I wrote “hello” on the table.

DIY Chalkboard Side TableWell I will let you in on a little secret, it was super easy and didn’t hardly take any time at all!DIY Chalkboard Side TableHere is what you will need okay get your pen and paper ready.  A foam brush and Americana Clear Chalkboard Coating … yup that’s it!  Probably shouldn’t have asked you to get the pen and paper, hehe.

DIY Herringbone Side TableOnce you have painted your piece, frame, tray whatever let the paint dry a few hours.  When they paint is dry take your foam brush and paint on the chalkboard coating the first coat I did horizontally.  Then one hour later applied a second coat going in the opposite direction. DIY Chalkboard Side TableWait 24 hours and then season your chalkboard with a nice coat of chalk!  Wipe off the chalk and it’s ready to be written on!DIY Chalkboard Side TableI love this product.  The clear coating does not take away from my pattern or design and of course the best part; it was SOOOOO easy to use!
