Using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint



I found this beautiful Ethan Allen Country Crossings 2 Drawer Coffee Table by Habitat Humanity Restore unfortunately forget to take a picture, but I found a picture of a similar table, and really did not like that green, so I decided to give it another look, and to get this used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.
.
I decided to give it a beach style with Louis blue, I love this color, but I left the original color on the top.

 
                               I used Annie Sloan Chalk Wax, first clear wax, then dark wax.





                                                                    I like the new look.
 

My first proyect

I find this on thrift store, a vintage mid century magazine rack end table, not in good shape, so I decided transform it.

                              I used Ce Ce Caldwell paint Santa Fe Turquoise and Clear Wax.

I like it the way looks.

Seeking the best furniture paint

In recent years several companies came to market paintings offering ease of use as: Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, Ce Ce Caldwells, Amy Howard at Home, Miss Musterd Seed Milk Paint, Websters Chalk Paint Powder .



 


What they all have in common is that you can apply directly, no sanding, no primer !!!
