Chalk Finish Paint Gallery

Thinking of using a chalk finish paint here's  a gallery of ideas hopefully that will help you be inspired.

These following items have been painted using Da vinci Chalk Finish by Nadia from cottage chic shop (email; Cottagechicshop@gmail.com)  I think they are awesome.

Bought this little side table on trade me for $20. I would say the way it was made to be made in the 40's or 50's. All original hardware.
Gave light scuff with 220g sandpaper. Applied 2 coats if Da Vinci Renaisance white over the body and inside the cabin
Applied Da Vinci Firenze Blue over top of cabinet and door
Once paint is dry apply a thinned coat (I used romawash) of white over blue and blue over white by brushing on and wiping off with damp rag. ( see techniques)
I added our "cameo rose stencil" on the door front for a colourful.
once finished waxed with soft wax to give a lovely satin finish.
