I thought you would have used milk paint for that chipped look. I've been pulling my hair out. When I use the vaseline under the chalk paint, the look is more smeary and/or scratchy rather than chippy like yours! Would be much appreciated if you could let me know! Thanks!

I sand everything ever so slightly. because I sell my furniture I never skip steps as I would hate for one of my clients to have a problem down the track with their piece. Milk Paint is very expensive in Australia. A bag of it is $47.50 and that would cover 4 bedside tables in 2 coats. I used half a bag on these. Does that help?<br />cheers FionaFiona, Lilyfield Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12051970432044610864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898359052933678205.post-48218767632218300642012-04-28T07:48:07.398+10:002012-04-28T07:48:07.398+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.Fiona, Lilyfield Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12051970432044610864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898359052933678205.post-43392278676136414302012-04-27T22:41:20.294+10:002012-04-27T22:41:20.294+10:00Did you have to sand these before you primed?

It is a pain to mix up, but I know the smooth finish you mean. Perhaps I will have to organise a trip to Sydney to go and do their course, I'd love to try some of their acrylics, the colours look stunning!<br /><br />xx KarenRestyled Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404229832033808493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898359052933678205.post-8896347134609570182012-04-26T15:35:32.245+10:002012-04-26T15:35:32.245+10:00They look great Fiona, love the ginger jars.
