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!

  21. 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!

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!

  307. DoodlePeas says:

    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!

  308. Logan says:

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

    • 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! :-)

    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!

    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.

    I keep hearing about this Anne Sloan chalk paint and really need to get ahold of this paint. The final finishes look fabulous!
    I am dying to try it!

  534. 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.
