This is another post from MAY BLOG-CATION---
I may have been away from the blog-spere for two weeks; but stuff was happening!!
I had these two chairs
I painted them BLACK with DIY Chalk Paint. * I happen to use the 2:1 ratio of Paint and Plaster of Paris-- I also wax it with Min wax for protection, and sheen!***
Just out of curiosity-- Have you EVER SEEN BLACK Ooops!Paint, for $5 a gallon?
It is rare-- but that is what this is, Yep! Ooops!Paint.
I was amazed. I grabbed it up fast.
Anyway-- these chairs are similar but they are not exactly the same.
They almost match the 3 chairs from the bench that I made.
(those 3 matched each other). :)
But the BLACK Ooops!Paint---clenched the deal.
Black it is! Now they co-ordinate.
But then, you knew MATCHY WASN'T MY THING, RIGHT?

Pat these turned out great. How did you find the DIY chalk paint to work with? Easy? I have used the min-wax over my chalk paint projects - can't believe the AS wax can necessarily be better. I love, love, love that bench - you are the smartest woman in Texas! Ann
I wish I had made some chalk paint before I did my table and chairs. I love how yours turned out, also love the bench! great work.I will write more soon on my Etsy decision. ( still haven't made one!)
Thanks for visiting....I love your bench...I still haven't done anything with chalk paint....maybe soon!
I LOVE this idea! Thanks for sharing! I am your newest follower :)

what a deal indeed! I love black furniture, it's goes with everything, which makes the fact that they don't match even better. so a whole gallon goes a long way, what's next?
Your chairs look really nice... I've been wanting to try that chalk paint and like your DIY recipe. Great Job!
Blessings!

I have other recipes for diy chalk paint but this one is new to me and I can't wait to give it a try! The chairs look amazing- a few years back I wouldn't have even thought of painting my furniture black, it was chippy white all the way for me. Lovin black now!
