Why, Hello, Chalk Paint; Where Have You Been All My Life?

It's been more than a week since my last blog post.

Sorry.  Things have been a little wacky for us here at That Old House.
I'll slip in a post when I can.

Like, now.

Back in November, I bought a little table in Pennsylvania.  It looked like this:

And now, since using this on it:

It looks like this:

Only I am not done.

These shots are of just a first coat.

It's remarkable how well this chalk stuff covers over a dark, shiny finish

on a first slap-over of paint.

And I love the soft chalky surface.

You can see the "holidays" in the first coat.  And yes, I am painting in the study here;
it's full of furniture in need of TLC right now, and heck, I put down drop cloths!

By now I've got a second coat on, but no pictures of that.

Should I distress?

Or would that be too distressing?

Stay tuned.

And enjoy your Wednesday.
