More on Paint....Chalk Paint


Last week I had so much fun learning how to use Chalk Paint.  I attended a workshop at a wonderful shop called Maison Decor in Malden, MA where you can buy amazing one of a kind painted vintage finds or learn to create your own works of art.  Amy, the talented artist and shop owner, held a class where we brought in our own "objet" and she taught us how to create unique finishes to take our pieces from "drab to fab".  Amy is also a dealer of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint where there are just 7 simple steps to transform your originals into a work of art.


Here is my yard sale vanity (also has a small stool) covered in stickers and painted green- I bought it the day before for 20 buckeroos

After one coat of Coco Chalk Paint




A lighter second coat with a wet brush and then apply wax


Finished piece- with a graphic added to the stool- voila!
