For the past few months I have been busy painting furniture. I was introduced to "Chalk Paint"...and have enjoyed using it and love the finished look and feel of the paint. It feels hard and silky smooth.
I make my own chalk paint... you can find recipes on the web... I used approx. 1/3 Plaster of Paris and 2/3 paint. After the project is complete I apply a paste wax to most of my projects.
My latest project was our bed frame.
I lightly sand the project and give it two coats of the Chalk Paint.
The last sanding I distress it...then wax it.
I have gone a little paint crazy...but each room will still have a natural wood piece in it!
