Today I'm sharing a desk that I painted with
Homemade Chalk Paint
Homemade Chalk Paint
and distressed to fit the vintage/farmhouse style I'm aiming for.
(Before picture of the desk)
Here's the recipe I used for the chalk paint:
DIY Chalk Paint
2 cups latex paint (your color choice)
2 cups latex paint (your color choice)
1/3 cup plaster of paris
2 - 3 T. warm water.
Dissolve plaster of paris in warm water, add to paint, mix well.
I gave the desk two coats and then sanded the edges
(when the paint dried)
To protect my finished desk, I used Minwax Paste Finishing Wax
I also removed the drawer pulls and painted them black.
