new chalk paint...

I just tried the Americana Chalky paint, I love it!
redid this farmhouse table and vintage Windsor chairs...




the chairs and legs are done in Carbon, I love how it is a true black!
the top was sanded and stained...
I know you can get this chalk paint at Micheal's, Home Depot and online at Walmart

I have had some questions on the paint....it comes in a 8 ounce sample and in a 16 ounce can
the 16 oz is $15.95, but this paint is thicker and richer, so it goes so much further...
and I like having a larger color choice
I used a sample size and did a vintage desk, front and back with it...
I will share that this week
