I have seen so many ideas that involve "Chalk Paint." Not to be confused with chalkboard paint; it's a different type of paint. Chalk paint has a finish that gives furniture more of a matte texture, which makes them look like antiques. I have even seen tutorials on using chalk paint to paint fabric. I want to do that, but decided that I need some experience with chalk paint first. The most popular brand of paint on Pinterest is Annie Sloan - but that is a little expensive and I wanted to try something without spending a ton of money on paint.
I have an old dresser that I put in the "craft room" and I think it is the perfect item to try the chalk paint on! I picked up an 8 oz. container at my local Home Depot! The brand is: Americana Decor - the color is "everlasting." It was only $8.48 (at my local Home Depot). Not bad at all! :)
This is the dresser I'm going to paint! I also plan on replacing the knobs/handles. I can't wait to finish this project and show you guys the results!
