You did a gorgeous job on this!! The whole space is so beautiful and this really topped it off :) -
I am going to take the plunge and paint my first piece very soon. I saved your post. Thank you! -
Beautiful...I love this paint, don't you? I have the Old White..and when I need a different color for a small project I just add a few drops of craft acrylic paint to tint. Works pretty good so far. -
Love this chalk paint.....where can I find it? -
@Linda Darnold - Thank you! here is a link to all their retailers. I was lucky enough to win mine at a conference I attended. http://www.anniesloan.com/acatalog/North_Ame... -
Love this Kim! I've saved on my Hometalk board because (gasp) I've never painted with chalk paint ... -
Haha, now Linda that surprises me! Thank you!
-
thank you for the blog. I see lots of posts talking about chalk paint and I had no idea what that even meant. -
Hey Kim! I've never actually used the real stuff, just my own concoction using baking soda, and plaster of paris. Works so well though! -
Hi @Ally! I really want to try the homemade version sometime too, I know there are several recipes out there. Great to hear it works!
-
Great job! LOVE this color!Using it myself for the first time today :-). -
i finally found a store that sells this paint am on my way to purchase it and my sis and I are starting on our first piece of thrift store furniture today.Thank you for your post! -
Kim Sand & Sisal I am so impressed with the look of the chalk paint I want to ask a question - what type of surface will this NOT work on? Seems to me it is good for most surfaces. I don't want to waste time on the wrong surface. -
It's a lovely piece Kim. -
Me encantó, pero no tengo idea que es esa pintura, al menos no creo haberla visto en mi país. Kim dice que hay una versión casera,¿me daría alguien la receta?. Tengo una mesita de noche a la que no me animo lijar por temor a romper el enchapado, y alli sigue, con su color triste. -

Gracias, Kim!! Muy amable
-
Lo voy probar Kim, parece bastante sencillo, es cosa de intentarlo. Además despeja cualquier duda. Nuevamente gracias

Wow, that's cool! Thanks for sharing, Kim! -
Can you give me any tips on waxing???? -
Aqua Elephant - What are you specifically curious about? I know that with this wax, you simply rub it on (I like to use cheesecloth) and then buff it out (with fresh cheesecloth) pretty immediately. I asked the experts at ASCP if you needed to let the wax sit for any length of time and they said NOOOO! Buff it out right away. So I would do, let's say a table leg entirely, buff it out, and then move on to another area. Hope that helps. ;)

Thanks Kim!!! I always seem to have spots that look dull!!!
-
Aqua Elephant - ok, the great thing about the wax is that you can apply more over the top. So go ahead and rub in a bit more to the dulled areas and see how it does. I suspect if it's a tabletop, then you might end up having to re-wax the full top, but try the spots out first and see how it goes. Best of luck!

Thank you Kim!!!!
