    Chalk paint is very popular these days. It looks great and covers blemishes. I suggesting finishing it off with a coat of wax it's made especially for chalk painted furniture.

    Most any home maintenance store carries chalk paint these days. I think they even have it at Walmart. They can mix it to whatever color you want. I'd love to hear how your project turned out. Here is an example from a fellow Hometalker:

    Does it have to be painted? can't you strip it and stain it if it has a good wood under the paint.Otherwise you will still need to strip of sand real good.then chose your paint but put a primer on first so the paint will stay on.

    Chalky would be good but then im not sure if painting it matte would look better.
