Chalk Paint. I wanted to try it on some pieces and see if it really was as good as everyone
claimed it was. I was impressed. I have a storage bench that seemed like a good piece for
a makeover.

| I picked 'Versailles' as my experimental color. I thought maybe going over red it would require two coats, but nope...one took care of it. |

| It may be hard to tell, but it is a soft green. Not mint, more of a green with some gray. It looks like it fades into the wall, so I think the wall color may change :). It goes on as a matte finish (kind of chalky) so you need to add a finish. It goes on very nicely and if you felt like it was needed, you can thin it a little. If you want to thicken, just leave the lid off for a few hours. I chose to put a paste wax on because I really like the finish wax gives. I also distressed it so a little red shows through. |

| These fun linens are called 'Picket Fence'. It just sounds summery, doesn't it? Placemats are $5.75 and napkins are $3.75. You can leave a comment if you would like to order some or email us at theclaypool7@yahoo.com |

| All finished and ready to go. You can google Annie Sloan Chalk Paint to find a store that carries it. It is pricey but a little goes a long way. What summer projects do you have planned for your house? |
