Paint Refinishing Fail...

You've seen a couple post with me using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, well I wanted to show you some bar stool's I painted with just plain old flat paint from Wal-Mart. 

Bar stool's before painting them with flat paint from Wal-Mart

After 1 coat of flat yellow paint from Wal-Mart

 Bar stool in the front has had 4 coats and bar stool in the back has had 2 or 3. 

As you can see from the pictures using your plain flat paint doesn't cover very well and it left brushstrokes like no other.  I will be sanding these bar stools down (to get brush strokes out) and will be repainting them with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in English Yellow.

I'd happily spend the $37.95 on a quart of AS Chalk Paint and only paint 2 coats vs painting 5+ coats of flat paint from Wal-Mart!!

$15 Coffee Table + AS Chalk Paint = GORGEOUS

I am loving Annie Sloan Chalk Paint!    

Here is my coffee table I found on a Facebook Buy-Sell-Trade group for $15!  Before painting and yes I forgot to take a before picture because I was so excited to us AS chalk paint, the coffee table was medium/dark stained and has a glass insert on the top.  I painted 2 coats of AS chalk paint in Old White, letting each coat dry.  After the 2nd coat, I let it dry overnight and distressed it the next day and then added the AS clear wax

Stay tuned for more updated living room pictures! 

Dresser to TV stand

Thanks to Facebook and all the Buy-Sell-Trade groups, I've finally found our new TV stand for the living room!  The good news is, I don't have to refinish it as it has already been refinished and looks great!  Can't wait to get this baby home!
