This one's a little blurry but you get the idea.
There were a couple different chalk paint recipes I'd seen on Pinterest, but I found this one at this page on Snaptheconference.com. It was 1 and a half cups paint, half cup of water, half cup of plaster of paris. You heat the water, let the Plaster of Paris dissolve in it, and then add it to the paint. It seems a little grainy at first but eventually smooths out.
It was a little different than working with Annie Sloan's chalk paint, however, overall I still loved the results! It didn't distress quite as easily as Annie Sloan, but was easier than just using latex. I thought it provided a beautiful finish. It felt nice and smooth - just like Annie Sloan's does! I finished up with Annie Sloan's clearwax as a top coat.
So would I use this recipe again?? Absolutely! However, it hasn't totally replaced the use of ASCP for me. I still love it and have used it since. It's simply become another option in the furniture painting world for me :).
Hope you like it!
