What would you use it in the kitchen? Or where?

Laura Cooper on Oct 20, 2019
Pamela, mine is an unpopular opinion, but I would not use chalk paint in kitchen areas because it does not clean as easily as a smooth, slick surface like enamel. It is also less durable. I would use it for basic decor items and possibly antique furnishings in areas of the home where water a food residue are less likely to be present.

  And I agree with Laura. Chalk paint is too fussy for me and would never consider using in a kitchen or hard use item. Perfect for decorative pieces like an end table or bookshelf and decor pieces.

  Nice to know there's others out there that aren't infatuated with chalk paint.

Agreed! Its not the most durable for high traffic places. But so great for small jobs and crafts as it's so easy to use!
