A lot of people ask me what kind of paint I use, well the truth is I use all kinds. My favorite right now is Chalk Paint. I love how it gives you a textured finish and there are a lot of different surfaces you can paint with chalk paint. However it can be a little pricey especially when you are doing those big projects, like this one. Home-Made Chalk Paint is easy and inexpensive to make and works great on all your painted projects.

I use…

  • 2 cups Paint
  • 3/4 cups Plaster of Paris
  • 3/4 cups warm water

Mix the water and Plaster of Paris then mix well into the paint. Use a container you can seal, and your paint will last for a while, store indoors at room temperatures.

Now you have a much cheaper version of regular Chalk Paint. I use this recipe a lot for under coating and painting small projects.
