| It's all the buzz on the blogs.
Yes I bought in . Has anyone tried it yet. I'm waiting to get the wax to finish it off so I really can't comment yet. One thing I did notice is that it stains my brushes . No priming needed though. I guess the after process of waxing counter acts that step. I know Miss Mustard Seed loves it. I'm looking for an everyday DIY'er experience.

| Yes, I've used it. I'm not only a DIYer but now a USA stockist for this paint. A tip for cleaning the brushes - use orange pumice hand cleaner....I got that tip straight from the Wooster Brush Co. It works great, and my brushes always take a beating, but keep looking and working great - just work it into the bristles and they come away really clean. As for the paint - love it, love it, love it. Ask away and I will tell you anything you want to know about it! |

| OH. MY. GOODNESS! I looooove chalk paint! I bought some because I am a little bit addicted to Miss Mustard Seed's blog and she loves it, so I thought I'd try it. And believe me, I am no painter, totally DIY, but this paint makes me feel like I could paint anything! It's totally quick and easy! Here is a picture of the dresser I bought and painted this weekend! Here's the before And the after |

| The waxing is really simple too. Just brush it on, I think it would be pretty hard to mess up too. The clear wax just makes the color a little richer and the colored wax just adds another depth of dimension. If I had one tip, it would be to apply the clear wax liberally (the paint seems to suck it up), and the colored wax sparingly. A little goes a loooong way! Have you seen Miss Mustard Seed's wax tutorial? It is pretty informative and thorough. I had wax anxiety too! |
