chalk paint and a giveaway!

Remember the coffee table preview?  And my new profession of love for a certain paint?

Photobucket

Here it is.  Annie Sloan’s Chalk Paint.  The lovely and talented Miss Mustard Seed revealed it on her blog and we had spoken that week…I was sold to try it.

 

Photobucket

And after painting my coffee table and a few other odds and ends with it, I’m more than sold.  It has the creamiest texture and applies so easily.

 

Photobucket

It can be applied straight to glossy finishes or varnished pieces like my coffee table.  No primer.  No sanding.

Really.

 

Photobucket

Now that we are (slowly) painting the whole downstairs white, I hated to paint it totally solid or white.  I chose Old Ochre Chalk Paint, a light caramel color.

 

Photobucket

I then waxed it with one clear coat of Hannant’s Wax and one coat of Fiddes Dark Wax in Jacobean.

 

Photobucket

There will be plenty of time for tutorials and questions, but for now let me say this.  This paint does naturally for a finish what I used to have to work quite hard to achieve.  And because it’s sealed with clear and colored waxes, it leaves a piece full of character and hand-rubbed quality.

Definitely check out Miss Mustard Seed’s Chalk Paint review and her tutorial on waxing.

 

Photobucket

I also love  how chalk paint distresses.  It comes off in a powder and you’ll have so much control of the final look.  I distressed the entire piece by lightly rubbing it with a  1/2 sheet of 220 (fine) sandpaper.

 

Photobucket

The finish is very french, and it’s funny to me how it changes as the light shifts.  You can see that the color has some yellow in it, but now that I’ve waxed the entire piece, it’s looking more light tan…but with texture and character.

 

Photobucket

It’s nice to have a coffee table I’m proud to put great finds on…like this beautiful set of books and vintage stamp I snagged last week.

 

Photobucket

As soon as I choose some hardware for the table I’ll snap you a full living room shot.  Speaking of that, come back this week for a virtual tour of some of our home.  We’ll do 2 or 3 videos so you can see it “real-time.”

Now…on to the really fun part.  Patty from Classic Wall Finishes, a stockist of chalk paint, is giving one of YOU a quart of chalk paint and a can of Hannant’s Clear Wax!!!

To enter the giveaway, simply enter a comment.

If you’d like extra entries, you can post to Facebook, Twitter, or your blog and leave a separate comment for each!

Giveaway ends Thursday, April 14 at Midnight…winner announced Friday.  Good luck!

    I think this might be the best giveaway ever! For me, at least! I’ve been attempting to be frugal by finishing up my stash of “to be painted” furniture with mistints, but I’ve been secretly counting down the days until my paint runs out so that I can stock up on Annie’s paint. Thanks Patty and Shaunna!

    Shaunna, I have so enjoyed discovering your blog! I have long wanted to start refinishing found pieces of furniture and you have provided the inspiration for me to do so. Thank you!

    I recently was given two wonderful framed mirrors that were once part of dressers, but were saved from a flood several years ago. While they are perfect just as they are, I think they would benefit from a little creative painting.

    Thank you for the opportunity to enter the giveaway!

  43. Centsational Girl April 11, 2011 at 11:02 am #

    Thanks for the info and beautiful picture of your chalk painted piece! I do have a question, can you put this stuff in a sprayer or is it hand brushed only (the chalk paint, not the waxes)? I bought your ebook awhile ago and I love it! I also love the speed of spraying pieces. Any information would be very hepful! I’m sure your are probably going to address questions in upcoming posts, Thanks!

    This is perfect. This paint may very well save my marriage, no kidding. We are at the end of 3 very long years of renovating. I would use this paint to renovate our bathroom vanity we purchased at habitat for humanity’s restore. The no primer aspect puts us that much closer to being done.

    Oh my I am glad to see this!!! Of all the 3 pieces I have built so far (from ana-white.com amazing and free plan catalog)I went for the distress look and got mad at myself for making too big of opening areas for the look! I am soo going to buy much of this chalk paint to finish my antique china cabinet, kitchen table, computer table and antique baby dresser all are ugh “cheery wood” eeww. so this is brilliant and I am SO glad to have found an answer to all that sanding! I would love to win!

    I’m dieting and haven’t had any chocolate for way too long, so the paint would take my mind (and hands) off of it for a while!! :)

  253. Patti Ehrlich April 11, 2011 at 8:07 pm #

    Wow! That is a great giveaway and one that would surely make me pull out some of the projects I have been neglecting! That would get me over the hump! Loved seeing your video on waxing–you are just too cute!

  254. Joan April 11, 2011 at 8:07 pm #

    Man. I would LOVE to be able to paint my furniture and have it look like yours, without all the work you “used” to do to make it look so fab! Maybe with this chalk paint….. ;-)

  255. sharon April 11, 2011 at 8:08 pm #

  268. Nancy Schremser April 11, 2011 at 8:41 pm #

    I love your table and I can’t wait to see your house. I have wanted to order chalk paint ever since Miss Mustard Seed revealed it a couple weeks back. Any time you don’t have to do a bunch of prep work it’s worth paying a little more a product such as this. Sure hope lady luck sends it my way!

  269. Deanne H. April 11, 2011 at 8:45 pm #

    I would love to try this chalk paint. Your table came out beautiful and I know it was due to this paint (and your refinishing expertise). Thanks so much for the chance to enter this giveaway!!

  270. Jaimee April 11, 2011 at 8:54 pm #

    I am continually amazed at the difference a good paint (and brush!) can make. Having never used chalk paint before, I am at once intrigued and eager to try it. I’ve noticed the different looks on Miss Mustard Seed’s pieces and would love to see what I can achieve :-) Blessings!

  279. Jenna Lee April 11, 2011 at 9:33 pm #

    How do you ever go about choosing a winner with all these delightful comments? After reading most of them, I almost didn’t comment to win…..but then I thought :” I would REALLY like to win that paint!” I came back from my favorite place in the WORLD (Round Top, TX) last week with a UHAUL FULL of treasures to be painted. I’m one of those gals who uses chewing gum to hang pictures on the wall…so I definitely could use an easy paint to work with!

  280. Uncluttered Lifestyle April 11, 2011 at 9:33 pm #

    I would absolutely love to win. To not have each piece before applying the paint would be amazing.

  281. Lesley April 11, 2011 at 9:33 pm #

    OOOOhhhh I have been loving all of these reviews and really want to try this.

  282. Uncluttered Lifestyle April 11, 2011 at 9:37 pm #

  301. Vintage Beachgirl April 12, 2011 at 5:50 am #

    Shaunna your coffee table looks amazing! It is a beautiful piece of furniture and the chalk paint just reinforces that, good choice for a piece to paint. Isn’t Patty just an angel to give some of this wonderful product away! I totally agree with your comment that “This paint does naturally for a finish what I used to have to work quite hard to achieve. “, so true. It’s almost effortless. I’ve only tried three colors but am putting together an order for more as soon as new colors are out. I have learned so much from Miss Annie about how to use and layer her colors by reading her books and Patty is so helpful with her wonderful suggestions! I am really looking forward to taking a class. Thanks so much for teaming up to do the giveaway!

  302. Ann April 12, 2011 at 5:53 am #

    I sooo want to try this, but can’t bring myself to order it until I use up some paint in my stash. I hope I win!

  303. JustBeth April 12, 2011 at 6:25 am #

  309. Linda April 12, 2011 at 7:38 am #

    I have been dreaming about this paint since Miss Mustard Seed previewed it and then I saw it on your site (even though you wouldn’t say what it was, but I just knew it had to be chalk paint!). I would so like to try this out! Thanks for the giveaway and your table looks awesome!!

  310. Julie harrell April 12, 2011 at 7:38 am #

    Since I ‘ve heard about this chalk paint I can’t sleep anymore thinking about how I’d use it. Please pick me so I will FINALLY be able to sleep :-) )).

  315. Debbie Deaton April 12, 2011 at 7:54 am #

    I my goodness, I would just be thrilled to win the chalkpaint! I have a depression era dresser that I want to refinish for a guest bedroom that we are remodeling and the colors are creamy white, pale turquoise, with red and orange accents. I would just love to have the opportunity to use the milk paint for that piece. I know it would turn out beautifully. Thank you all for considering me and I hope that I am fortunate enough to win. Blessings. Deb

  316. Miss Mustard Seed April 12, 2011 at 8:03 am #

    Don’t enter me in the giveaway, but I just wanted to say how lovely your table looks!! Isn’t this paint the bomb? Yes. The bomb.

  317. DoodlePeas April 12, 2011 at 8:08 am #

    WOW!! I just bought an entire bedroom set of vintage 1970′s French Provincial style furniture (yes, the yellowish-white trimmed in gold…remember that?) to refinish for my daughter’s room. This would save me a million steps in refinishing…especially since it has a glossy finish on it. I LOVE that you share so many “inside” tips on refinishing furniture! Thanks a bunch!

  318. Logan April 12, 2011 at 8:14 am #

    I want to try this so badly…I think I just felt a little foam seep out of the corners of my mouth!

  321. AnnieL April 12, 2011 at 8:31 am #

    This would make life so much easier-well not life, just some of those projects waiting to be finished!

  323. Katie April 12, 2011 at 8:38 am #

    I cannot wait to get my hands on this paint! How amazing, it will really save time on stripping/sanding! Any ideas on how it will work on a dining room set? That is my next project!

    • perfectlyimperfect April 12, 2011 at 8:55 am #

      Hey Katie, I think it’d be great! My table was slick and heavily varnished, and it went on like a dream. I would say to seal the top with several coats of wax since it will be used for eating. Hope that helps! :-)

I sit down every day and read, get inspired, and try to accomplish half the talent that you share with us. I love your style. I love your willingness to share about your life. Thank you for doing what you do. God is using you in a very big way that you may not know to what extent. Thank you.

  346. Vicki April 12, 2011 at 10:03 am #

    French furniture is wrong in my house, but I would love to see what this paint does for a living room table in a 108 year old rural Missouri homestead farmhouse! The living room has been the biggest challenge finding a style that mimics period and purpose authenticity.

  347. Amanda April 12, 2011 at 10:06 am #

Your amazing work in the KD house last summer truly inspired me to take on some of the refinishing projects. My dining room looks amazing thanks to your suggestions and now I hope that my family room turns out just how I imagine it!! I am about to order some of this paint, but a free can would be such a treat, too!! Keep on inspiring us!!

You can pile on the white accessories and it NEVER looks cluttered! Please enter me in your paint giveaway – I’m painting my little girls’ room soon and it would be PERFECT! Thank you so much!

  399. Maria April 12, 2011 at 2:27 pm #

    Wow! I stopped by thinking there might be more to “Becoming”, but was thrilled to see this post! I live by the sea (have not lived here for terribly long) but as it looks like the Lord is keeping us here, I am trying to fully embrace the idea and have embarked on a beach cottage makeover of sorts – which includes the painting of several beautifully distresses, but very black and heavy-looking pieces of furniture….and THIS product seems to be exactly what I needed to find! Being the home schooling mother of two boys, finding away to speed up the WHOLE process of this transformation appeals to me in a way I can NOT describe! Hurray! Hurray for chalk paint! Hurray for wax! Hurray!

  400. Diane Rice April 12, 2011 at 3:24 pm #

    Wow – I just put three coats of primer on two end tables. I can’t wait to try this.

    Oh, how I would love to win this! I have a desk that I’ve been looking to give a makeover, and I’ve been so back and forth about whether to try chalk paint on it or not. Winning would certainly make my decision for me!!!

  439. Shari April 12, 2011 at 10:32 pm #

    Oooooh, I love your coffee table! It’s exquisite!

    I have an old cherry buffet I found on Craigslist and I’ve been toying with the idea of painting it a Frenchy blue. From what I’ve been reading all over Blogland, chalk paint would be perfect for it. Even though I’ve never won anything in my life, there’s a first time for everything I suppose so please, please, please throw my name into the giveaway *hat*. :)

  440. Ann Wilson April 12, 2011 at 10:56 pm #

    Thanks for using a different color than everyone else. I think I would like this color on a desk I’m going to paint this summer in my rental condo. If if turns out well, I might even paint the bureau in another bedroom. This type of paint seems to be easy to use, and would be good to dress up rooms that need a little extra something.

  441. Heather Bluhm April 12, 2011 at 11:42 pm #

    I am so excited about this giveaway. I am anxious to try this paint on a sideboard/ hutch I picked up! Love your work!!

  442. Sofia from Sweden April 13, 2011 at 1:20 am #

    exactly what I am looking for – I have been wondering how to achieve that look when fixing up a dresser I purchased some weeks ago. I am afraid this chalk paint colour type isn’t available in Sweden, though. Hope to win it ; )

  443. Jen H April 13, 2011 at 1:55 am #

    Holy Lord! I love love love your blog! You are so incredibly talented and have an eye for the beautiful. I am still finishing our bedroom (walls are pistacchio-green already) and a piece of furniture will get wheels and a white paint finish. This chalk paint would come oh so handy! Can’t get enough of your projects.

    I would love to try this. I have an antique coffee table that I stained the top and have yet to finish the bottom, I was thinking a white or green color, definitely distressed. Oooh I hope I win…I am terrible about ordering things so I may never get around to it unless I find it in a store. I was ready to just use a leftover paint that I have in the garage today but now I will wait at least until tomorrow…

  515. Lauren April 14, 2011 at 2:28 pm #

    Now that’s an incentive to paint – no priming or sanding? I’m sold! I would absolutely love the opportunity to try this on my first furniture piece.

  517. Tamela Moore April 14, 2011 at 4:06 pm #

    Okay, between your encouragement on your blog and the information on Miss Mustard Seed’s blog. I have scurried around my house and have 8 or 9 maybe pieces of furniture to paint with the new chalk paint. Now all I need is the paint!!
    I can’t wait and all my family and friends think I have lost it I am painting everything in sight. I am having so much fun.
    My friends on Facebook now know also ;-)

    I want that paint. I need that paint. Miss Mustard Seed always makes me want what she has. I would love to win to try it out. It is pricey. If it performs like they say it would be so worth the money.

    I am dying to try it!

  549. Chalk Paint Ideas Lady October 18, 2011 at 11:15 am #

    I love how your table turned out! Old Ochre is one of my favorites now (along with olive). I didn’t do quite as big a project as you, just chalk painted my pumpkins, but I love how they turned out.

  550. Mary Hafenbrack May 19, 2012 at 9:09 am #

    I am so impressed and I want to grap a piece of furniture and start to paint.
