Welcome to Lisa's Backyard Workshop!
Hello from my Perth backyard in Scarborough, Western Australia!
I'm so passionate about revamping unloved pieces of furniture and turning them into something unique and very special. Chalk Paint has become my favourite choice of media due to its beautiful chalky smoothness and appearance, easy application, non toxic nature, and super easy water clean up. Its effortless to use and unlike many other painting mediums, with chalk paint, there's little prep needed.
Of course, preparation is always a consideration when revamping damaged pieces of furniture. And with the right techniques and eye for what to look out for, you'll be prepping your piece for chalk painting like a Pro!
The Artisan Paints, Papers, Stencils, Effects and Finishes that I supply in my Chalk Paint Shop are handmade here in Australia from natural ingredients, and our brushes are personally sourced from Europe.
Want to distress a furniture piece and give the appearance of a vintage era? Chalk paint is definitely my go to! It's so forgiving and gives a natural finish that can be made to look naturally weathered and used.
With gorgeous colours and fantastic coverage you will love my Natural Chalk Paints as much as I do.
Come join me for a Chalk Painting Workshop on your own or with friends, or browse my extensive range of supplies at my Chalk Paint Workshop located in Scarborough Beach, Perth.

Let Your Creativity Shine
Chalk paint is so easy to use with decoupage papers. Most papers will not cover the entire piece of furniture your wanting to cover but with a little practice and some small sample pots of Chalk paint, an extension of the paper can be achieved just like this one I have completed with blending and layering. Its all about having fun.
All these materials are available in my chalk paint shop in Scarborough Beach, Perth, Western Australia.
Hemp Oil
Natural Hemp Oil is fabulous for nourishing raw dry and faded timber.
It is a great sealer over Chalk Paint with its delicious aroma and ease of application. It brings out the grain in the wood, adds a soft sheen and can be used in many areas of your home.
