Shabby Chic Chalk Based Furniture Paint: Matt Finish for Furniture, Home Decor, DIY Projects, Wood Paint - Interior and Cabinet Paint - 250ml - Caesious

Can’t believe how this liquorice chalk paint has transformed my Welsh dresser.. I’m really impressed how far such a small tin goes.. going to try some other colours 😊🤔

I buy this Paint for most of my furniture the picture of the drawers I've attached started life as awful white gloss so I use this paint and then wax it (bear in mind colour may differ slightly than my colour)hope it helps

This is my favourite make of chalk paint, and I paint furniture regularly but whenever I can I choose a colour from the Shabby Chic Furniture Paint range. Their Licuorice and Chalky White are both lovely. This colour I didn’t use before, from the first look I can’t agree with the previous reviewer noting it’s grey-pink. It does look strawberry yoghurt to me? It’s a creamy pink slight lilac undertone and very slight greyish - so more close to a dusty pink tone and won’t stand out as ‘baby pink’ at all - it’s not at all like that. I have a few Neptune items in their Oyster Pink linen and this colour resembles that closely - if this helps. I gave it four stars only though because of the coverage not being as good as other colours in the range. I paint quite thin coats, and painting the inside of a greenish mid-grey cabinet, I needed 3 coats to cover it fully. So I had to order a third pot and now paid more for 750ml than I would’ve for a 1L pot, simply because it doesn’t cover as well as what I’m used to when using this paint. It’s a shame because the colour is gorgeous, it will look lovely when I finish - a French linen cabinet in Licuorice black, with strawberry yoghurt shelves inside. It’s just as I planned it to look, hence still deserves 4 stars.

Well first impressions are good. I painted over a variety of previous furniture owner’s tester colours. From white to almost black. Coverage was excellent. Pic one shows first few strokes and what I was trying to cover. Pic two shows completed first coat. Loving this nautical red so far. Colour is a lovely muted red that sits somewhere between a brick and a rosy pink. Perfect for the unique but tasteful look I’m looking for on my kitchen cabinets.

Not the best quality. Took 4 coats to get a semi-decent coverage on an old chest of drawers.In comparison, had a tin of rustoleum chalk paint in a cupboard for over a year. Took only 2 coats to cover a glass jar I was upcycling. I know it's a different surface, but it gives you an idea of how they compare.

I truly cannot recommend this paint enough. I had my reservations when buying such a small pot but I only used over half a tin on this bedside table- 2 coats. Naturally I sanded first and put an undercoat on. See photos for what my bedside table looked like before! One thing I will say is make sure you do even coats as the brush work is very noticeable in the light. Dries very quickly and little odour. I can’t wait to use this on real wood and not melamine!

Excellent product

Used this paint on a wooden bedside cabinet to match it to other satin black bedroom furniture. It worked a treat. I had previously painted the item with Annie Sloan and was not happy with the result. I removed the old wax finish first before applying the new finish and although there was a slight resistance to the old wax it then covered well with a light second brush. The paint also goes much further than using Annie Sloan. Very happy with the results.
