One thing does lead to another!
For those of you who read Miss Mustard seeds blog, you have seen recently her bragging on this chalk paint.
She is so good at painting furniture and I thought to myself if she likes it, and it was that easy to use,
that has my name on it!
Why not take a risk?
I will be joining the Nester for her take a risk day...wait til you see the end result...please do come back and see.

Well, let me tell you, I am in some SERIOUS love here.
Not lust, we are talking LOVE, true love.
Sure wish I was getting paid to brag like this, but I'm not!~
I ordered this paint just a couple of days ago, and today it arrived.
I thought I would test it out on a night stand in the guest room.
Did I mention I did not prime or sand?
No need to with this paint.

No need to with this paint.
I wasted no time to get started.
Seeing I am working on the master, I may as well give the guest room a perk me up too.
Of course it is still in the process of drying, but boy does it dry fast.
No drip, clean up was a breeze. I can't wait to distress the piece. I will say for this little quart it was 35.00, and I bought the set of three brushes.
Oh and I did NOT buy the book. If you know me, I don't follow instructions anyhow.
This paint goes a LONG way,
I barely put a dent in the can and I did two coats on this piece!
I am so excited to get busy painting more.
Here goes another room transformation!

Oh I love that color! I will have to read more about that paint...Christine
Nice color, Debbie. This is the first I've heard of this paint.
Looks great Debbie and such a pretty color!! Martina
Blue chalkboard paint? Wow, I thought it was always black or grey! How cool that is! Do you follow Lola B's blog? She has a gorgeous home and she painted an entire wall under her stairway with chalkboard paint.
It looks great, Debbie! I'm off to go check out the website.....thanks.
Enjoy your evening,
Gail
Love the color! I'll have to go check it out.
Gorgeous color Debbie!! I love it! I haven't heard of the chalk paint... is it like a chalkboard paint that you can write on or a chalk paint like a milk paint or something? It looks amazing whatever it is!! I can't wait to see the finished product!! :)

That is a beautiful shade. Looks lovely.
Ohkay now have you been reading my mind? I was just getting ready to order some of this paint. From all you all's positive comments I'm very intriqued.
It always leads to another. And of course it looks great!
Very pretty Debbie! Wow, I adore the soft blue. Nice room. :)
That is a beautiful color, I can tell from the photo how smooth the finish is.I read MMS review of and I'd love to try it on my buffet.
I love this color and am wishing I had a space in my home that it would work in.
Ewww, what FUN !! I'm looking around my house as we speak to see which piece I can "play" on with this fabulous paint !! Thanks for sharing, Becca
I was thinking about trying that paint, too. Glad to hear you like or rather love it!
I am taking your word for it and ordering some! Thanks for sharing!
Oh Debbie I love that color!! I've never heard of this paint either...not saying much because I almost never paint....but still! *winks* I'll be saving it to my favorites. Vanna
Now this is such an incredible blue!!!
I need to try this, too. I love that you don't have to sand and prime!
Hi Debbie Dear! Oh, I love your piece and the color is so pretty! That sounds like some fantastic paint!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I need to investigate this paint because I have never heard of it before! Thanks for telling us about it, Debbie!
No priming, no sanding....wow, that is my kind of paint. Thanks for this great post. I will def. check it out!
Marianne :)
I've been waiting to get my hands on that paint! It's a bit more difficult in Canada, but I MUST HAVE SOME! Glad to hear it worked well for you.
I love the prep work.....None! Thanks for sharing this great find....
I love this color Debbie! I will have to check out this paint! And I can't wait to see what you are doing in your room!

I saw MMS post about the paint, but I still haven't ordered any. I'd better get on it... your table looks great :)
I am way to cheeep! I thought cool I will try it, but at $35 a can and $10 for shipping, it was just tooo rich for my taste!! I am so tempted though! It sure would be neat not to have to use a primer and I guess it sands really well.....I am thinking about it!
Carol
WOW! I'm in love!!!
Dee
That's some cool stuff! You're so creative
That's some cool stuff! You are so creative Debbie:)

Debbie,
Thanks for sharing! This is the first time I heard of this paint, but it looks awesome and I am loving the color! Can't wait to see more!
Wendy
Looking good! Can't wait to see the finished product!
Great color! I just ordered 2 cans and can't wait until it gets here. Not having to prime, sand, etc., really inspires me. I may be painting everything in sight. :-)

Pat
Wow! It looks great so far. Isn't that paint amazing and totally worth it?
Yes the paint is totally worth it Marian!
So cool! That sounds like my kind of project...no prepping...no instructions...no drips! :-) It looks great Debbie!
Vanessa
This seems like a great product! Your nightstand looks wonderful!
Sounds spensive but sometimes you get what you pay for. I may have to find a piece to paint and order me some.
Such a pretty color! What fun, painting an entire piece of furniture with chalkboard paint! Can't wait to see it with it's pulls on.
I read this post yesterday and got side tracked before commenting... I had to go research this caulk paint... clearly it is not the same as caulk board paint (which I thought it was and apparently it isnt). I would love to try it. I am working on something now, I think for my next project I will give it a try! You a Miss Mustard Seed have me sold!
Looking great Debbie!!! I am using a similar color right now!
Great paint color!
Oooo, this is great. I have been reading about this paint ever since I saw it at Miss Mustard Seeds. I want to do my kitchen cupboards in it! Glad to see how far is goes: definitely worth it in my opinion. And the colors are fantastic. What color was this? Did you get the wax that goes with it, too? I just can't decide on a color yet. Thanks for showing us this, and I'm happy about how fast it came, too. Of course, if I wait too long, it may be all ordered up!! :S
Do you love the finished piece? Did you put a clear coat or protective coating on after this? I wonder if the chalk paint makes the furniture have a chalkboard texture? I want to do this with furniture but I'm not sure if I'll like the feel of it.
Blessings,
Mel
