Fantastic!! Wish I would have seen your post before I finished sanding a oak/particle board bookcase! Have you tried the homemade chalk paint since? -
I've used chalk paint many many times since this project, still loving the results!

Did you use the same receipe, or did you end up adding more water?

Hi Penny Keegan , I used more Plaster of Paris (2 parts paint/1 part PofP) and only enough water to moisten the PofP before adding it to the paint. I've also omitted the water completely. It was very gritty without any water added so I wouldn't recommend doing that. I like the results best with the 2-1 ratio.
