Refurbished furniture chalk paint. Since I use a lot of chalk style paints mostly Annie Sloan which I love I thought Id write a post detailing the pros and cons of chalk paint for furniture.

Who else is like me and has an old piece of furniture in a forgotten corner of the garage. My suggestions in this post for using chalk paint still hold true and apply also to using Fusion or any other paint to paint furniture.

Dont forget to scroll all the way to the bottom to see what my friends are sharing today too And how to modernize old furniture with chalk paint.

400 grit extra-fine sandpaper. Chalk Paint I used Annie Sloan Old White Paintbrush. Due to its special formula chalk paint works very well over other paints.
