French Impressions Part II - the Bed Transformed

We have had our bedroom suite for years. It was time to make a change and I was inspired by photos found in a Betty Lou Phillips book. This is part two. I started with the dresser and then painted the bed.

Dark waxes for chalk paint

Does anyone know where you can purchase dark wax to use with chalk paint? I am on a budget and I need a wax that is not over the moon expensive, but will still perform very well. Thank you

    have other colors as well, but I am in love with Jacobean. And its smooth like butter and easy to work with. It runs about $19 per 500ml can. I order mine here, but there are many other retailers. http://bluemineralschalkpaint.com/product/fi... I don't have a local retailer near me, but you might have one close by to you that you can order it from!
