Yes it’s true you can transform an ugly outdated chairs etc. with Chalk Paint! For our pop up shop (#stylishpatinapopup) in Mosaic District I did half of a couch! I applied Old White to the frame and then French Linen to the velvet.
BEFORE
DURING…she still needs to be waxed!
How did I do this? It’s super easy…..
1 – Do a mix of 50/50 water and paint. Apply to the fabric 2 coats (let dry in between)
2 – Then 3/4 chalk paint – 1/4 water mix. Apply 1 coat (let dry)
3 – Touch up with 100% Chalk Paint – let dry
4 – Wax like you would piece of furniture this will make it feel more like leather!
Wallah….you are done!
