I've had a lot of requests lately for my recipe for my
Homemade Chalk Paint.
So, I decided just to make a post about it, so I can now refer everyone to a link. :)
Its actually not my recipe.
It was given to me by Val from 2ndEssence
and it works like a charm.
So easy.
So simple.
So cheap.
That's all there is to it.
It adheres to anything.
It doesn't have the initial smoothness of ASCP,
but it does sand out to a very nice finish.
Its pretty much my go-to when I'm not using ASCP and it was all I used before I made the financial commitment to purchase Annie Sloan's original version.
Here are some examples of the many, many things
I've painted using this recipe.
It has made re-doing pieces soooooo much easier.
And inexpensive.
If I had a blog post available for the piece, I provided the link to them.
So you can see the befores and know just what this recipe can do for you. :)
Dumpy Thrifted Desk |
Bland Dining Room Table |
Gaudy Gold Mirror |
Antique Lady's Writing Desk |
Vintage Pine Chimney Cabinet |
Daddy's Rocking Chair |
Pleather Thrifted Footstool |
Vanity Bench |
Antique Washstand |
Thrifted Ladder |
China Cabinet |
See... There's just no end to what you can do with it.
And you can mix up all the colors of the rainbow.
So, that's why even though I'm primarily using ASCP now, I don't think I'll ever quit using homemade.
Because, you never know when you just might find a piece of furniture that's telling you to give it its own special color. ;)
XO,
Well. That was full of shabby chippy fabulousness that makes me want my own 100 year old farm house =)
ReplyDeleteGreat post, thanks for passing the recipe along!!
Thanks for sharing your recipe Laura. I have yet to try to make my own chalk paint but after seeing all of your gorgeous transformations, I may have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteCarrie
Laura, Thanks for Your Chalk Paint recipe...:) I,m so happy for that. Greatings from Vienna
ReplyDeleteI have been telling myself to make my own for quite a while now since ASCP doesn't have some specific colors I'm wanting to use. Thanks so much for passing this along. Your many projects that you used it on turned out great. How is that fantastic barn coming along? I am a barn freak and I'm just a tad jealous. Just a tad.
ReplyDeleteWow, Laura- You have done a lot of beautiful projects with your paint. I have not tried the home made stuff yet but I have some of the ASCP that I need to use up and then will probably try your version. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI have used Annie Sloan for several projects, and it is the best! But what the heck, went to Home Depot bought their Behr sample pots in flat and added 2 tablespoons of calcium carbonate, shook it all up, and as smooth as silk! Used her clear and dark waxes and am so excited. There are so many colors to work with!
ReplyDeleteI love that green picnic basket of yours. Did you paint that, too? Homemade chalk paint? The real thing? Spray paint? Or something else.
ReplyDeleteI have a picnic basket I'd like to transform.
Thanks for any info.
Made some of this today and loved it! To keep my plaster from being too lumpy, I sifted it through a mesh sink strainer that I picked up for 50 cents at the dollar store. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
ReplyDeleteHelp! I tried this recipe 2 times and both times it was SUPER runny. Like so runny I tried to paint it and it just ran off...what did I do wrong? I have latex paint, I let the plAster dissolve, I can't figure it out...
ReplyDeleteLove what you did to the chimney cabinet. What a charming home you've made for yourself! Patsy from

I do a recipe that is 1 cup of flat paint + 1 tablespoon of unsanded white grout and that works great too you can add water to make it thinner or thicker

ReplyDeleteI've found that the plaster lightens the color of the paint. It's fine is the looks are pastel or light, but dark colors are definetly whitened. One solution to this is to add a little lamp black (powder or liquid, available at paint stores or oddly enough, concrete supply stores). If you are a little more adventurous you can add colorants again either powdered, available at art supply houses, or liquid called universal colorants available at paint supply stores.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if the paint is too runny you can ease up on the water added or try using a thicker paint, like Sherwin Williams brand 'Super Paint' for exterior or A200 for interior. Stay away from Behr sold at Home Depot, but the Martha Stewart brands are great and the color selects are some of the best.
I was interested in your homemade chalk paint. Your pieces look great. I had just finished some pieces with CeCe Caldwell chalk paint and enjoyed using them very much. You stated you use the homemade chalk paint before you made the financial commitment to purchase Annie Sloan's original version. How do you compare the two after using homemade and Annie Sloan? Do you like the ASCP better. How about for the price? Would appreciate your comment on this subject. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteJust used your recipe for chalk paint and love it! Wasn't sure how it would turn out, still a bit new to the whole antiquing and distressing furniture. Did a couple pieces a little while back with just regular paint but wanted to try something different. Especially love how it sticks to anything, and you totally can't see the brush strokes! Will be trying the wax paste on finished product, first time with that too so wish me luck. Thanks again, and great website, I'm loving everything about it :)
ReplyDeleteI love the wash table !! And how you are lightening everything up! I'm doing the exact same thing and sometimes my family think I'm crazy, but it sure looks nice after! Love your stuff and your blog! Thanks for sharing!

Ever asked yourself exactly how those candidates in bodybuilding
ReplyDeletecompetitors make their physiques look so determined?
In the beginning you may believe it's since they normally look in this way or maybe since of how show business lights struck them but think it or not, bodybuilders utilize sunless tanning or tanning creams in order to achieve that "tough as granite" appeal, to flaunt sharply-defined shoulders, biceps and abdominals that the judges and audience admire so a lot.
