John & Sons Oyster House – BEFORE AND AFTER chalkboards

 

When I was asked to re-do the boards at John & Sons, the new Oyster bar on Yonge Street, at Balmoral, gold leaf somehow popped into my head and I decided to take on a new venture – gilding the chalkboards.   This was a bit of a tricky task, but the finished results were stunning.  Applying the sizing, then the gold leaf and finally filling all the gold borders in with chalk – BEFORE AND AFTER:
