This handsome horse head was a casualty of work. Apparently he had enough gusto to leap off a table I was merchandising, but not enough to remain whole, so I scooped up his pieces, glued him back together with some PL and Chalk Painted him from brown to grey to cover his scars. Quite the elegant fella now! Note: if you are Chalk Painting over PL, I found it does create a crackled look in some places, which was to my advantage for this stone-look statue. Just a little heads up for your DIY knowledge!

Delft Tile Tray
I found this mid-century cheese tray at a local thrift store for $1! Frankly, the tiles alone are worth more than that. It was originally medium brown wood, and those little right-hand circles were red magnets, but I covered the whole piece in some coats of Old White Chalk Paint. I might use it as a tray for craft projects, or I might hang it on a wall and secure some fancy knobs into those left-hand circles as hooks.
Either way, I'm in love with the painterly blue and white tiles!

Looking Out Chair
I realized I had yet to share the latest addition to my ever-growing chair collection, so here we are, this is the prize of my The Sidecar win! It's my Looking Out design on Eco Canvas fabric on a Maran Slipper Chair by Roostery. It's quite a comfy little marshmallow. I used some Pure White Chalk Paint on the dark brown legs to better coordinate with the airiness of the fabric.
Roostery is Spoonflower's awesome sister company for homewares (chairs, pillows, tea towels, etc.) and all of my designs and others' in the Spoonflower marketplace are available on their products.
