I just want a nice smooth finish that isn't going to chip or peel off, can get some dimension (maybe with a glaze?) and isn't super-varnish-glossy. I'm a furniture painting novice with a varnished oak cabinet I was gifted with and have disliked for years. I want to paint the inside a different color than the outside, so the Annie Sloan paints are right out because of the price. All the reviews I've read of the milk paint and the chalk paint assume you're going for that "chippy" look, I'm having trouble finding one that doesn't. What do you suggest?Liz M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049182148766659853.post-5124548662494943612013-08-24T19:11:32.794-07:002013-08-24T19:11:32.794-07:00Yay!

I bought MMS and without the sealer it has chipped off in sheets! a mess. And the stores that carry it are quite a distance from me so its not worth it. Too expensive! Thanks for the tips. I think I will stick with latex. I made my own chalk paint with plaster of paris and it turned out pretty good.

Also be sure to sand with fine sandpaper or a block before a second coat and the best quality brush is always going to reduce them.Cameohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07028923688961991584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049182148766659853.post-659200988313108172013-01-29T17:17:48.497-08:002013-01-29T17:17:48.497-08:00I loved reading your articles.
