I hate, hate, hate Annie Sloan wax. With the Miss Mustard Seed and CeCe Caldwell you can skip the prep and seal it with whatever kind of clear-coat you wanted afterward. A furniture refinishing blogger I read wrote a review on Annie Sloan paint/wax - her blog is called Altar'd. She echoes pretty much all my thoughts about it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annie-sloan-chalk-paint#post-728997 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 09:21:18 +0000 tinyperson 728997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Young House Love did a project using the paint:</p> <p><a href="http://www.younghouselove.com/2013/02/chalking-it-up/" rel="nofollow">http://www.younghouselove.com/2013/02/chalking-it-up/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annie-sloan-chalk-paint#post-728988 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 09:16:59 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 728988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can skip the prep, but you have to seal it afterward, so there's really not much time savings. And as Grizz says, it needs touching up - especially at the corners. </p> <p>I really like Benjamin Moore Impervo for furniture with just a light sanding before. It dries super hard, which is not the case with a lot of paints I've used on furniture in the past. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annie-sloan-chalk-paint#post-728985 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 09:16:36 +0000 Weagle 728985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: Even with the wax? I really want to skip sanding/stripping, so if the others work the same way I'll definitely check them out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annie-sloan-chalk-paint#post-728977 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 09:14:09 +0000 Springtime 728977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: oh really. Does the mustard seed paint work the same way? Like no sanding or anything? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annie-sloan-chalk-paint#post-728925 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 09:00:37 +0000 Boheme 728925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I re-finish furniture as a hobby, and I actually don't love Annie Sloan chalk paint. I painted our kitchen table in it, and I have to touch it up constantly. I think there's a lot of hype surrounding it and its SUPER over-priced. I prefer Miss Mustard Seed paint or CeCe Caldwell hands down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annie-sloan-chalk-paint#post-728863 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 08:45:07 +0000 Springtime 728863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never tried this paint out but really want to! I have heard great things about it, no sanding, priming, etc. Just paint! I think you should get the wax too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annie-sloan-chalk-paint#post-728855 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 08:43:17 +0000 Weagle 728855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I definitely don't want to strip anything. Too many crevices. And I'm pretty sure I would completely ruin everything if I thrived to make my own :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annie-sloan-chalk-paint#post-728712 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 07:56:32 +0000 looch 728712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard it is great, you can paint without all the prep work, as in right on top of stain/poly without stripping and sanding. </p> <p>I've also read that you can make your own, with a little bit of plaster of paris mixed into paint. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/annie-sloan-chalk-paint#post-728650 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 07:19:29 +0000 Weagle 728650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to paint some older furniture this weekend and was thinking about trying this out. Has anyone used this before? If it's not worth it, I'm definitely not making the extra long trip to pick it up. </p>
