And because you choose your own paint (any latex paint works), you choose your colors! I Chalk-tiqued my kitchen cabinets with an antique white, and the island with a barn red.
Lightly distressed, and then one coat of dark wax gives an antique look to these 1980's oak cabinets and drawers.
Get creative! With The Chalk-tique Paint Additive you make up a little Chalk-tique Paint or a lot, depending on your project. Look at this cute kitchen storage made out of pallets. For the paint, Moore Finishes Art Studio simply added Chalk-tique to paint sample jars!

Hi Barb! I painted my kitchen a year ago, and it is still holding up great! I have 5 teenagers, can't get much busier than that. I did apply one more coat of wax recently around the sink area, because of the extra moister. Cleaning does not take off the wax, once it is dried and buffed.

Update! I have also tried Chalk-tique Additive in oil based paint - works really well!! One coat, no peeling at all!
