Pale Pistachio--sold!

Previously, I shared that I dabbled with homemade chalk paint, using the recipe that calls for grout. That's because I'm a cheapskate and not because I experimented thoroughly with all the available recipes and techniques.

It was fun to work with, though. This is what I came up with.

It was tricky getting the correct ratio at first--I was brushing it on as a paste instead of a paint at times--but it dried silky smooth and distressed like a dream. This chair is upcycled in a creamy pale pistachio and reupholstered with a fun paisley print.

Love those spindles!

Thanks for looking!
