MY 2012 MOST POPULAR POSTS

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.

  5. Your 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!
    Blessings,
    Angie

  6. 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!

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 :)
