Homemade chalkboard paint

These are two pieces of furniture that I redid this weekend using homemade chalkboard paint. I started with the wall color on the "edge" areas, covered that with two coats of white chalkboard paint and then sanded where the wall color was. This was followed by a coat of paste wax that was buffed once ti was dry. LOVE how they turned out!!!
Enjoyed the project?

Janice on Jan 09, 2014I believe some folks are using terms incorrectly. There is a difference in "chalk paint" and "chalkboard paint". What you used was chalk paint, which is used on furniture and waxed over for a dull, worn, antique-like finish. Chalkboard paint is used on surfaces that you can write on with chalk for signage or labels. I know lots of people have used the terms interchangeably but they're really two different products. And, I love your finished products. You did lots of work and was rewarded handsomely. Keep sharing with us!
