BEST BRUSHES FOR CHALK PAINT, MINERAL OR CLAY BASED PAINTS

DIY CHALK WALL BEFORE & AFTER - KITCHEN STATEMENT WALL

So, I wanted to do a statement wall in my kitchen and dining area to break up the blandness and lack of color. And I'd been wanting to do a full wall to jot my grocery list items as we run out of them or a to-do' list of the moment.

I decided on the wall that wraps around behind the counter nearest the kitchen sink into the hallway area that leads to the bathroom.

I did a really quick coat of Annie Sloan Graphite and TA DA !!! I love my new wall!

One coat of Annie Sloan Chalkpaint in Graphite, allowed to dry fully - usually only a couple hours. Then I rubbed my chalk all over and wiped away which gives it that vintage "chalk board" look and I was ready to get going.

I'm thinking about writing some quotes, or a love letter to my kids or something across the top portion...

    Wendy, this looks great! I wish I had a wall I could do this to, but it doesn't work in my kitchen layout. Wanted to tell you thanks for following me! I'm merging G+ accounts right now, so it won't let me add you back yet, but I will once the transfer is complete. Merry Christmas!
