The Artisan Chalk™

Coming Soon to Frisco Mercantile!
Oh Lola! Vintage Paint Co.™

I couldn't be more proud of our own line of Decorative Furniture Paints. Here is a sneak peak of what our paint can offer you. Chalky matte finish, Beautiful rich colors, Eco-fiendly, Low VOC's and wonderfully covers with one coat of paint.

No sanding, no prep needed, just dust and start painting, this is "French Blue" one coat will do the job, if you desired a richer color can do a wash (mixing water with paint to thinner down) this particular table was done with only ONE coat.




This is how it looks when dried. I've distressed just a bit, I like the shabby look of worn furniture, you can do that with a sanding block.



Then is time to wax your piece. I used clear wax and then dark wax to create an antique patina on legs and table border.




This is the finished piece. I add a little gilt wax to add an accent gleam.




This piece is for sale at Frisco Mercantile, Suite 1509 "French Blue" Table ~Yadi
