The weekend can not arrive soon enough! We have had a rough week. Our youngest has had a stomach virus since Saturday night. Some days she feels better and we try to do a few things and the next thing you know, she is curled up in a ball.
Needless to say, my plans for a productive and fun week before school started, were curtailed. And no one is more disappointed than my soon-to-be 4th grader.
Since I have been homebound for a while, I snuck in a quick paint job.
I picked up this ugly, non-wood shelving unit for $2. I am sure I had a plan when I grabbed it.
As you know, I am a HUGE fan of Chalk Paint. I try to stress the benefits in my posts as I work each project - another benefit of Chalk Paint is that it paints right on non-wood surfaces. I’ve had success painting laminate, particle board and now this unknown surface.
The difference between painting real wood and other surfaces (that I have found) is that real wood absorbs the paint better. The paint almost sits on this surface. But it works, so on the paint went.
I may use it as a night stand in my room. It may go in my craft room. It may end up in the store.
Whatever purpose it serves, it is much better in white!
Have a great weekend and start to your week. I hope to get my little one better and off to school on Tuesday, and attack some projects!
Until then-
XO-

What kind of chalk paint do you use? (You probably mentioned it but I have a short memory!)
Hope the little one is better soon!!
I does look much better in white and you can't even tell it's non-wood anymore.
Wow, looks incredible. I am following your advice and trying chalk on some of my laminate pieces. What kind of brush or roller have you had the most luck with?
I often glance right over any non-wood surface furniture when thrift shopping, but this post will have me reconsidering. Chalk paint seems like a miracle paint!
