Patty S on May 19, 2015the room is soft earth tones. White would be great, the silver would fit! I had thought of a "muted" green with copper and will go the regular primer, sand, paint routine. Not interested in chalk paint, don't want distressing. So primer and paint seems the best solution. Is this veneer? Seems like it, just not sure how to tell for sure.Helpful Reply

KMS on May 19, 2015Chalk paint does not have to be distressed. With a very light sanding after painting and a clear soft wax you can get a beautiful finish. The beauty is in the ease of prep work that has to be done. Usually just a good cleaning and you are ready to paint.Helpful Reply
