    What paints did you start with first? I though you started with white but then you said it was a coco and you finished it with white and took some of the white of by wiping. Then a glaze? It turned out beautifully. Want to do my dining room table and hutch/buffet. How long did the whole bed frame take to finish? Trying to figure out how long mine would take as they are big pieces.

    I want to try this ! So beautiful, but I’m a bit confused ??! Don’t u have to use wax to seal chalk paint? And on a table top will it chip or scratch off if u don’t sand first?
