Yes to moving it outside!

But then I think I only did two coats of the white chalk paint over top. I can let chalk paint dry on a brush and soak it, and voila, good as new. Hope that helps! You are so welcome!

Hope you are enjoying the nice weather and can paint outside now!

Wondering where you got the two canvases to the left of the dresser hanging on the wall? That is when I would use wax. You may come across other times when something that has soaked into the wood continues to rise to the surface through the chalk paint. Ours held up really well with just a few small things. It will stick really well to your stuff. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

Looking to do a wall gallery in my main living area. Do I first have to paint it a dark color, let it dry, sand it, and then chalk paint it the white? I ended up having to strip layers of paint (cracked everywhere!) Thanks Christy- a dresser with those lines is just crying out for distressing, right? Stay a while!

And remember, there are cons with any product you may decide to use. I dont have any pictures of the original BEFORE But before we had painted, the hubs gave it a black and wood makeover,it started out more like thisbut perhaps a little darker and shinier: That portion of our life is, thankfully, behind us.
