These two night stands and coffee table (ironically I only have one halfway picture of it... because I was painting a million pieces that weekend and wasn't thinking!) are for my mothers formal sitting room! She wanted them to match a hutch she had in the room already!
So, I did a terrible job with taking before and after pictures for this set! But I must say I am happy with the results! I did a Home Depot color match to get the paint I used to mix the chalk paint, and used Annie Sloan DARK WAX over the top. So if any of you were wondering if ASCP products would work with your DIY chalk paints... the answer is YES!
Here are pictures of the three pieces before I applied the wax! As you can see, they are a very deep buttermilk color.
Per the advice of the girl at the boutique... I added the clear wax and then proceeded to apply the dark wax. Both using a linen cloth.
I tried to use as little dark wax as possible... which to me takes serious skill! I love the way the dark wax looks on this set... but I can't decide if I would ever use it myself!
