Since we're entering a new year, I just thought I'd look back at how far I've come since starting this blog in February, 2012. While looking through my posts, of course I noticed which ones were most popular. That's when I decided I'd list my 5 top posts. Click on the title to view the post.
After making and using my own chalk paint, I don't think I've used regular paint since.
.
So, far, I've only tried the Plaster of Paris recipe. Maybe this year I'll try some of the others.
And, here are some of the first projects that I finished using this homemade chalk paint.
Okay, that's my Top 5........most viewed posts. I just hope you continue to visit and check out my projects in 2013.
See ya soon.

Candy I am so in love with the blue and white vintage cabinet. I too enjoy using chalk paint. Looking forward to seeing some more of your creations in this New Year xx
ReplyDeleteJeanetteann, Thanks so much for the sweet comments. The little white cabinet finally made it's home in MY KITCHEN. I'm lovin it. HAPPY NEW YEAR.
DeleteI love the cabinet too and also the chair planter.

Thanks Debbie!!!
DeleteHi Candy, came over from my blog to follow you and thank you for stopping by, glad you found me. Love the Chalk Paint post and all the links to recipes. It's been something I've been wanting to try, so now is as good a time as any. See you again soon. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Teresa Marie. Best of luck trying out the recipes. 8-)
DeleteYour furniture makeovers all look beautiful! I've tried my hand with the homemade chalk paint as well, using unsanded grout instead of plaster of paris. It worked very well, although I still prefer CeCe Caldwell chalk and mineral paint. Thanks for visiting me at Knick of Time! I hope you'll come by every Tuesday for the Knick of Time Tuesday Vintage Style party!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

All of your projects look amazing! I never could bring myself to purchase any of the AS Chalk Paint because of the price, but I will definitely be trying this homemade version. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol Hope you've tried the homemade version by now and you're liking it. COME BACK SOON TO VISIT. 8-)
DeleteI love the colors that you're getting with your paint!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. I love to play with and mix color. 8-)

Make your own chalk paint? I am for sure passing this info on to my hubby. He is just discovering chalk paint AND realizing how expensive it is to purchase. BTW I love your blog name "pickinandpaintin" - cute. I am having such fun checking out your posts, so look behind you on occasion...I will be following you :)
ReplyDeleteThanks soooo very much. Comments like yours make me smile and make me wanna do a better job at posting. 8-)
