Chalk Painted Filing Cabinet

Sooooo.......I finally bought chalk paint 


and thought I'd share my first project.



 I still have much experimenting to do 
 before I can form an opinion, 

so all I'm going to do in this post 
is share a few pictures.

The laminate wood cabinet before

The metal handles before

The handles with 2 coats of chalk paint only

The finished product after the wax was applied.


I know blogland is all over this stuff, but I thought I'd share a few projects since not all of my readers know about chalk paint.  Like I said - I'm still deciding what I think of it - but this project was pretty fun, not to mention how lovely it looks in my office.


Thanks for stopping by,

    1. It is Annie Sloan. I wanted to see what the fuss was all about and to have something to compare homemade to. Have you made any? What are your thoughts?
