Everyone has been talking about Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. I loved the idea, but hated the thought of spending the extra money. I found a recipe online to make my own chalk paint and I have been using that recipe until now.
I finally splurged and bought ASCP…and I’m telling you…I will NEVER go back.
No prep work, no primer, great coverage, and amazing colors! If you have been debating on spending the money… DO IT. The chalk paint goes so much further then regular latex that in the long run it all evens out. Plus you will be so much happier with the end result.
See for yourself…
My Mother-In-Law gave us this beautiful armoire. My husband wasn’t so sure but I assured him that he would like it when I was done.
See the curves? And those feet?
I apologize for the awful iPhone picture and dirty basement… But you get the idea.
Using Paris Grey, Old White, Clear Wax, and a little bit of distressing….This is the end result.
What do you think?!
I posted this picture on Annie’s Facebook & she commented and said that it’s beautiful!! I feel like a celebrity told me I did a good job! It’s a great feeling!
Now I am in the process of building shelves for the inside. (It was set up to hold a TV before) I will do a more thorough post later but I wanted to show you what I have been up to. Hope you enjoy!

gorgeous – this is one of the most beautiful pieces I have seen using ASCP.
Thank you!
I have thought about selling it. But I just don’t think I can… It is from my mother-in-law & it is the beginning of my relationship with Annie Sloan 🙂 haha!
You did a awsome job!! the piece was great to start with(goood bones)and what you did simply the best. I have a wardrobe I did and I am going to do it over,because I feel it needs shelves too,I am going to be selling it at the shop where I have all my stuff I find. ASCP is the best,and I won’t paint anything with out it…says so much time and gives the best for old veneer pcs…and anything else. Love Paris Grey,but I find a tough color for selling,In my area people are still white….loves and not into the grey yet,which I think is more a designer look
Interesting! I thought grey was a hit everywhere… I live in the Midwest.. But I still haven’t sold any of my things yet. I’m actually preparing for my first sale in August! I can’t wait!!
Thanks for stopping by!
