About 8 years ago, I textured, painted, and tea stained my bathroom cabinets.
It's been chipping for the past few years, driving me nuts...
So I decided to tackle this "small" project...
I hand scraped (for 2 days) the texture off, and then sanded
(what a MESS)
During
I used this chalk paint recipe I had pinned...
Using Basil paint I already had (my family room is this color) and Plaster of Paris.
Let's just say chalk paint is super rough feeling. I used 320 grit sand paper to smooth it some and buffed Minwax Paste Finishing Wax on to seal it...
I am very pleased with the end result and would definitely use the chalk paint technique again.
Love the transformation, Jenny!!! That green looks awesome!!

Very nice! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteThey look really nice! I am not familiar with chalk paint. What is the benefit? Asthetics? Texture? Price? Just curious.

ReplyDeleteLove the bathroom cupboards, you picked a great color.
Looking good my friend! Feels awesome to accomplish something like that, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteEarlier today when I was checking something on Pinterest, it had you listed twice as someone I was following. So I deleted one of them. Must have been n error on their end because when I just went back, I wasn't following you at all. 8-/. I am again. Gee-sh!
What a transformation! It looks great!
