Can I just chalk paint over this furniture?
I have not tried it myself but have read and been told that you can. It seems it would need to be waxed or sealed just like furniture. Otherwise if hands or pets rub against it it will probably leave stains or marks.
It would be very costly. A flat paint would serve the purpose, be less labor intensive, and easier to maintain.
My Niece did a wall for her boys and it worked out great. She didnt seal it so I'm not sure that is necessary or not.
