How To Use Chalkpaint to Fake an Expensive Shabby Chic Nightstand
I have dry brushed many furniture items. I prepared what needs to be painted (lightly sanded if necessary and washed) then used a normal paint brush and old light colored paint I had laying around. I barely dipped the brush into the paint and then brushed it lightly. It was a dresser I had gotten free and some paint I had laying around. Now it's my favorite piece so far!
Thanks! Sounds pretty easy and I will have to give it a try.
Miss Mustard Seed has an awesome paint line. I've ordered it many times. It gives that, in her words, "chippy" look. It's really cool and makes the piece look very Shabby Chic.
