Chalk & Willow

13/10/2026

We’ve been having an amazing time in a Hawaii with some dear friends of ours. I can’t honestly remember the last time I felt so relaxed. It’s been an absolute blessing. Heading home tomorrow, Mahalo Maui, it’s been wonderful.

25/09/2026

Well, this morning I have officially closed the website. Obviously there is some emotion involved in closing down a business that you’ve loved. I have truly loved serving, sharing and empowering you and your creative sides.

Chalk and Willow would not have been the incredibly positive community it has grown to be without each of you. I am enormously grateful, especially to those of you who have encouraged, engaged and been part of the journey, supporting and sharing my small business.

Whilst I now plan to go away for a few weeks, please stay connected to this page. I’ll be sharing new things in new ways. I’d love you to stick around as I transition into early retirement, and all of the things that I’d like to do now I’ll have more time. So it’s not goodbye, it’s see you soon …

Much love xx Tonya

JUST OVER 24 HOURS TO GO… ❤️

Well, we really are nearly there.

At MIDNIGHT TOMORROW — Thursday 24th September — the Chalk & Willow website will close for the final time.

Everything remaining is still 50% OFF, so if there’s anything you’ve been thinking about, sitting in your cart, or telling yourself you definitely don’t need 😉… this really is your last chance.

There are still some beautiful paints and products remaining, along with wallpapers, stencils, MINT papers, k***s and a few other treasures — but stock is getting very limited.

I’m heading away shortly, so I need to draw a firm line under orders at midnight tomorrow to make sure I can get all of your final parcels packed and posted before I go. 📦

After that, the website will be switched off.

It feels incredibly strange to say that after 9 years, but I’m saving the soppy post for another day… 😂❤️

For now, you have just over 24 hours to help me clear these last shelves!

50% OFF EVERYTHING REMAINING
Website closes MIDNIGHT TOMORROW

And, as always, thank you. ❤️

This is it … ❤️

The final FOUR days of Chalk & Willow online.

At midnight on Thursday 24th September, the website will close for the final time.

So please, if there’s anything you’ve had your eye on, don’t leave it too late. Everything remaining is 50% OFF, and once it’s gone, it really is gone.

After 9 wonderful years, it feels very strange to be writing those words. It really is the end of an era — but also the beginning of some new and exciting adventures. ❤️

And one thing I won’t be closing is this page. I’ve decided I’ll be keeping it — because quite frankly, I’d miss you all far too much! 🥰

I’m sure there’ll still be plenty of painting, creating, op-shop finds, furniture rescues and whatever else I manage to get myself into next. 😂

Four days to go. 50% OFF. Then that’s it.

Thank you, as always, for being part of Chalk & Willow. ❤️

ALOHA CUSHION SOLD (thanks Kate)

A little splash of colour for your sofa 💕🌿

I have just a couple of these gorgeous cushions available — perfect for freshening up a favourite chair, sofa or bedroom as we head into spring and summer.

The Australian Birds cushion is a lovely generous 52 × 52cm, with the prettiest aqua background, Australian birds and soft pink florals.

And with Hawaii rapidly approaching, I couldn't resist the Aloha cushion 🌺🍋🌴 — a fun 62 × 32cm lumbar cushion with all the tropical holiday vibes!

Both cushions come complete with a lovely feather insert, and both the covers and inserts are machine washable.

$44.95 each

Only one of each available.

Message me if you'd like one.

🐭 And another little mouse army is complete! 🐭

12 more finished for an order, which brings the grand total to 36 hand-stitched mice so far! 🪡🧵

I think that’s enough mice for a little while… before I start seeing whiskers in my sleep. 😂

I’ve really enjoyed making these, but I’m ready to put the white felt down and move on to something different for now.

Semi-retirement appears to be keeping me rather busy… 🤣

Watch this space to see what comes off the sewing table next! ❤️

NOW SOLD - thank you

Early 20th Century Maple Sideboard | Beautiful Original Character
Gorgeous early timber sideboard, believed to date from around the 1920s–30s, with lovely Art Nouveau/early Art Deco influences.
This one was simply too beautiful to paint. The original timber has been cleaned and gently rejuvenated with dark furniture wax, retaining its wonderful aged patina and character.
Features include two generous drawers (one divided into three sections), two cupboards with a shelf running the full width, beautiful original decorative door hardware, replacement period-appropriate drawer pulls and its original aged furniture label. There are working locks on both of these doors.
This is an old piece and proudly shows its history. There are marks and variations consistent with age, including a visible mark on the top — clearly shown in the photographs in the comments. It has intentionally not been heavily sanded or refinished.
📏 94cm H × 137.5cm W × 48.5cm D
A beautiful, practical piece with loads of storage and so much character.

What’s left on the shelves at Chalk and Willow …

🤍 THE FINAL WEEK… 50% OFF ALL REMAINING STOCK 🤍

Well, I knew this moment was coming… and here we are.

With our website closing for good at midnight Thursday 24 September, I've decided it's time for one final reduction.

Everything remaining is now 50% OFF.

There are less than three shelves of paint left, along with some beautiful papers, stencils and a few other treasures. I really don't want to pack it all away and store it, so I'd much rather see it heading off to your homes and workshops ready for future projects. 🎨

At 50% off, this is the final reduction — there won't be another one — so if you've had your eye on something or would like to stock up on a favourite, this is your last chance.

📦 A quick note about postage: normal postage charges apply IN FULL TO ALL ORDERS. With everything now reduced by 50%, I'm unfortunately unable to subsidise postage as well.

The discount will be automatically applied at checkout when you shop online — no code required. Local pick up is also still available.

Nine years of Chalk & Willow and now just over one final week to go. It's a strange feeling seeing the shelves becoming so empty, but also incredibly satisfying knowing that all these beautiful products are going somewhere they'll actually be used and enjoyed.

Thank you, as always, for your orders, visits, messages and encouragement. You've made closing this little business of mine far more special than I ever could have imagined. 🤍

50% OFF • FINAL REDUCTION • WHILE STOCKS LAST

I'll pop on for a Facebook Live later and show you exactly what's still here. xx
