Dear Annie, a couple of weeks ago i discovered your chalk paint!! it was a blast when i discovered your colour palette, ohh i just adore all the colours.. it has been a dilemma which colour to choose as all of them are so beauuutiful.. finally i chose provence for my kitchen cabinets, i have just painted all in the provence and it is stunning!! now i will order gliding wax and stencils to draw small details on the cabinets. In the end i just would like to say, thanks so much for your beautiful art, it is so much in tune with my heart and mind :)

Thank you I did my two end tables and they came out absolutely beautiful for sure save me $700 and they were Drexel end tables to begin with. I have had them for 60 years in perfect condition.

Great video! Thank you for sharing this information with us! So helpful 💗 Loving your chalk paint and wax on everything lol. I have so much more to do and I can't wait. You make it so exciting and easy. I have this old gray metal cabinet I want to restore a bit and I'm learning so much from you. I love that you can use this on almost anything.

4:00 So are you saying that you can repaint directly over the wax? Or should the wax be scuff sanded or removed entirely?

Annie love your products so much!!! I have a few questions for you. 1. How do you clean your brush that you use for wax? 2. Do you use a different brush for dark or clear wax?

Love your shirt... where can I find one please. Oh and I am painting my desk from lilac to Oxford blue in chalk paint. It looks stunning!

Thanks! The last question about the paint getting messed up... I didn't understand it. 🙈 are they talking about painting a design, then when they waxed it went funny? Or are they saying a plain colour like the cupboard next to you? I've not had anything get messed up yet so I can't understand how it happens. I've done very textured pieces, patterned and plain. How are they painting it wrong, so I don't make the same mistake. 😱 x

Annie, I am a first time chalk painter. I painted an old, dark chest white and turned it into a seat/storage for our guest room. I put one coat of wax on it. Do I do additional coats?

What is the best way to clean the wax finish as a weekly cleaning routine?

[shailyjain]

Do you suggest using wax for a coffee table? I get worried the usage will be too much for wax.
