Chalk Paint


This months Better Homes and Gardens magazine has a coupon for a free sample of one of Lowes new spring colors. I picked up this bright coral pink to make a new batch of chalk paint. I loosely follow a recipe that is 3 parts paint mixed with 1 part water & 1 part plaster of paris. You mix the water and plaster of paris first then add to your paint. I say I follow it loosely because sometimes it just depends on how much room is in the container. In this instance I just eyeballed it and it came out a perfect consistency, just like pudding.

I love this coral color so much that the large bowl will likely stay here with me instead of ending up in my Etsy Shop. Now I just need to find the perfect quote to put on it.
