It was cold in the garage and I was much happier painting inside. Plus then I have more of this paint for later! That is a win, win in my book.Īfter priming the pieces we brought it inside for the good paint. It is just so much easier to prime first. Now the Pure and Original brand is not supposed to do that but I don’t even take the chance anymore. I have learned from experience that the white chalk paints don’t cover well and sometimes take 3 or more coats. A flat black is good at hiding these things.īefore adding the black pieces in I sprayed a white primer on the entire piece. I wanted this area to be dark to hid the wood pieces inside.

We took the back off and he created new backs (just for the shelf areas) using lath. This also helped to create more structure for the piece itself.

I was so excited when it arrived! It was a while before I used it so I was chomping at the bit to get started. It has helped but now I am working on re-working or re-placing furniture with lighter pieces.įirst of all the paint came really fast. I started a few months ago by painting the dining room (now our office/crafting space) and the living room a nice creamy white and taking all of the curtains down. I am trying to lighten things up a bit in my home. But I decided on Sea Moss and Casa Blanca. There were, I think over 130 colors to choose from so it was not an easy decision. ![]() This is a line of beautiful chalk paints. Their paints are made in the Netherlands and are environmentally friendly. They carry paint for walls and furniture and we got to choose two quarts from the Classico line.
