![]() ![]() Don’t mind my pathetically overused looking sandpaper. I sanded with 150 grit paper around the edges and top as well as along the legs. Now you are ready to sand OFF some of the paint, if you want an aged textured look. So you don’t have to use a foam brush to paint with this DIY Chalk paint. NOTE: I have since done several projects using this recipe and a regular brush… the good thing about sanding your project after you finish is that it gets rid of any brush strokes (or at least it seems to have to my eye….). Then get painting! I used a foam brush for this DIY project… I ended up doing FOUR coats of this rich yellow to get the right colour and coverage over such a dark wood table. New plaster of paris would likely mix well with warm water just by hand… I used a mini blender to mix my plaster of paris and water before adding the paint, only because my plaster is old and I am too cheap thrifty to buy new stuff. No need to sand first, just give your furniture piece a good cleaning with a cloth and water (and perhaps some soap if it is dirty). ![]() It’s a pretty simple process with DIY Chalk Paint. It had interesting lines that I thought would look great painted in a fun bold colour, like the Mellow Yellow (by Benjamin Moore) that I had bought but didn’t use for the laundry room revamp. Lots of things in the works, one of which was painting a side table that I picked up at a second hand shop. With spring comes the need to lighten and brighten things up around the house… so the living room is undergoing some springy colour transformations right now. This adorable mellow yellow chalk paint side table was easy to make with this tutorial. ![]()
