We stripped all the black off and sanded it down to bare wood beforehand! That part was a lot of work.

Hi Dawna – Thanks for stopping by! I know some people prefer Annie Sloan; however, it’s very expensive (comparatively) and is hard to find in some areas. For me, the closest location to buy it is 30+ minutes away and I would have had to buy at least $60 worth of paint just for this project. Making my own chalk paint is a great cost-effective option for many readers. However, if you have the budget for Annie Sloan and it’s easy to find, then go for it! ????

Thanks so much, Joleen!! I think I used 120 or 220 grit. It only needs a super light sanding because chalk paint sands SO easily!! It’s just to smooth it out a bit ????. Hope this helps!!
