Painting: What paint to use on unfinished pine cabinet for rustic look?
I bought a pre-loved glass & pine china cabinet with a drawer base that had never had a finish and is paint ready, doesn't even need sanding. I want to do a somewhat rustic look in a cream color. I was thinking of a milk or chalk paint so it doesn't end up with a plastic look from todays acrylic latex paints. Can't find online from Home Depot or Michaels. (Anyone know of a store near Spokane, WA?)Where do I find these paints and how to use them? Thanks!

What cracks me up is when I draw out an entire plan I want, I even sometimes have to go up and show them what I'm talking about (ie a faux rockwall in the back corner of my yard) even set things in place for them to place down...then they start telling people about all THEY DID. I even had a guy who wants to take pictures to show others his "work". Doubt he'll tell them that every step of the way I had to teach him how to do things, and even have him redo things that he didn't listen when I told him to do something...Oh well..if he is happy when its done then I'm fine with pictures...but I imagine it to someone who Creates a drawing of clothing, even a pattern, then someone sews it together. Who is the artist, the creator or the completer?
Oh well..I am sure many of you know what I mean. The only trouble I had with a yard man was him wanting to do things his way...and I already had a plan I had been working on for years. He got so upset with me once he just drove off in the middle of picking up things for the yard and quit. He said to me "people say do something with my yard...and I do and they are happy" but I said..."do this exact thing with my yard that I want done" and that didn't fit in with his "way of doing things" so we parted ways. My little brother came mid working and finished the project even having to redo about 1/2 of what the first guy did!
