It is used wildly in the revamping furniture world because it has a very flat one dimensional finish that gives a great antique or aging look.Chalk paint was invented by a women named Annie Sloan about 20 years ago.

That was enough of a lead to send me into researching for an entire day and this is what I found: Finally! a co-worker said she saw a demonstration of this stuff called chalk paint and it had a real similar look.

I went around picking brains for four days, asking everybody and their dog about their knowledge of paint and how to possibly achieve the dream cabinet final look. Another issue I had was the finish of regular paint, even though I bought them in matte…it just wasn’t flat enough! I never would have thought anything of it if I didn’t see the dream cabinets…but since I did, I was set on having that flat brush finish. Most colors turned out too gray or two blue once I put them on a test cabinet, and I was being stubborn about finding a perfect mix. Lighting has such a big influence on how colors turn out that I actually went through 9 different samples before finding one I liked. The pictures make them look all gray, but everybody who has seen them so far has commented on the light touch of blue.įirst thing I did was set out to try and find a color like the dream cabinets. Man, I wish I were better at taking photos….I really just can’t capture how fabulous these cabinets look in person.
