Chalk painting furniture was all the rage several years ago and yes, I have tried it! As a long time home decor addict I have tried pretty much every method of painting furniture.
Next I set up an area inside the a/c of the house laying down a painter’s drop cloth to protect the floor. Then I gave the entire table a good coat of primer using Kilz.
Of course the type of paint matters! Allow the primer coat to dry for a full 24 hours. I know that it can be tempting to give it a fresh coat of paint sooner…don’t.
