So I have this dressee I believe was done in the faux leather, brown paper bag n mod podge..and seems to becwell sealed. I've been using it for six years in my office but considering painting it since I'm changing the color scheme..my question; Will the paint stick, or will it lift the paper? Considering DIY chalk paint. Thanks in advance.

    Did you finish the original project with a sealer over the mod podge? Like polyurethane or varnish.....if so, you should be able to paint over it.

    If it is finished with the mod podge it should take chalk paint easily. Be prepared for the possibility that there may now be a texture which shows the edges of the paper underneath. If so, you can attempt a new leather finish with new paint or add your own decoupage on top of it. Good luck!

    Thank you everyone! I bought this finished at a second hand furniture store. I love it, just time to move on. ❤️ Chalk paint it is!
