This was my first experience with Annie Sloan chalk paint..AMAZING!! LOVE IT! I ordered it from Canabananas at The Market . I couldn't decide between Pure White or Old White.. the sample looked too dark of the Old White... I used the clear wax but I'm debating about going over the pieces in a dark wax too.. the Pure White is really bright.. both the coffee table and other table were free anyways so I wasn't too concerned if I messed up with my first chalk paint experience.. I was going for a beach look but I think I might use the two pieces in a sun room someday. The paint itself is really thick but very smooth.. No sanding is required..this paint sticks to almost everything! (I did a little sanding anyways to get some scratches out of the table tops.) If you mess up..the paint will come off quickly with a wet rag. Then I used sandpaper to give it that distressed look. The wax was interesting.. because it was clear it was hard to tell where I had used it..after I waxed it, I buffed it with some t-shirt scraps... It is very durable so far..I've set hot/cold/wet glasses on it and it seems to be fine.. Here's a photo below of how the coffee table looked before.. the paint adhered to both the wood top and metal legs really well..I used two coats.. |
