But, I've found I can make my own by adding non-sanded grout. Also I've used baking soda (Picked and Painted's recipe) and gesso. It's so easy to mix up your own chalk paint and it's so much cheaper and you get rid of all that left over paint too.At Rivercrest Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12068816102263605128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173691505669853688.post-80426319579934715462013-04-06T10:42:16.872-05:002013-04-06T10:42:16.872-05:00Love your hand me down, especially when you know w...Love your hand me down, especially when you know where it's been all this time.

I remember that dresser in 1993, complete with boom box.<br /><br />And yes, all our dining room chairs (and the base of the dining room table) were forest green. <i>Everything</i> was forest green back then. But five years before that, everything was dusty blue.
