Children's Chalkboard Table and Chairs & a few more vacation pics

Here are a few more pictures from our wonderful vacation.

Chocoholic's buffet . . . everything was displayed so beautifully! I only tried a few things, because it was so rich! But the things I tried were very tasty!




We ate at this restaurant a couple of times. We got the kids chicken tenders . . . it was a welcome change from the huge portions at the buffet.



Here we are hanging out in the Bliss Lounge. Can you tell that we had a great time?





Okay, enough of our good times. On with today's project.



We came across 5 of these vintage folding children's chairs.




We knew we wanted to make a chalkboard table to go along with the chairs. We found this end table for 1/2 off at a local charity thrift store. Regular price $8.08, our price $4.04.


I put 2 coats of primer on the table. I spray painted primer on the chairs.




In order to paint the chalkboard paint on the table top, I taped it off with some paper. I spray painted several thin coats of turquoise paint on the table and chairs.




The top of the table with primer on it.




I used a foam brush to apply several coats of chalkboard paint to the table.




These chairs fit so perfectly with this table.





This picture is more of a true representation of the color.




I'm linking to the following parties, you should really check them out! So much inspiration!






























































hello to all my tar heel state friends! :) Thanks so much for stopping by.

Great finds, on those chairs and the table. The finished product looks fantastic!

I have a small can of chalkboard paint lying around that I bought on clearance but haven't decided what to do with. I think you may have just inspired me to get a move on!
