14 minutes

In Episode #39 of Busybee Refinishing with MelDidItHerself, we go back to basics in our 101 Series and discuss chalk paint for furniture painting. We discuss what chalk paint is, where it was created, and what makes it different from latex or acrylic paints. I also provide insight into my preferred chalk paint brands, when I like to use chalk paint for my furniture makeovers, and the pros and cons of choosing chalk paint for your next furniture flip!
