Layering With Chalk Paint®

July 11, 2019

At my store we do a candlestick class where each person can come in and layer three Chalk Paint® colors and distress their candlesticks. Today I’m going to show you how you can achieve this look on your next piece!

To make the candlestick you will need 3 different height wood furniture legs and 6 round wood pieces for the ends. I buy mine from Home Depot, I get the Waddell Solid Pine Finish Traditional Leg in 6in, 9in and 14in. The round wood plaques I get from Hobby Lobby in the 4in size.

I put the ends on upside down the first time! LOL I haven’t made that mistake again.

To assemble the candlesticks you will need a drill, drill bit (the size of the screw in the furniture leg), wood glue and a nail gun. Drill a hole in the center of 3 of the rounds (make sure to not go all the way through) add some wood glue to the furniture leg around the screw and attach. For the other side (no screw) add some wood glue and position the round center on the leg and ad a few brad nails. Once they are dry you are ready to paint.

Pick your three colors you want to layer (in the following video I used Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan in Cream, French Linen and Country Grey), you will need some candle making wax and Annie Sloan® Clear or Dark Wax.

In the video you will see the following steps:

  • Paint 1st color
  • Let dry
  • Rub on candle wax
  • Paint 2nd color
  • Let dry
  • Sand with medium grit sandpaper
  • Rub on candle wax
  • Paint 3rd color
  • Let dry
  • Sand with medium grit sandpaper
  • Seal with clear wax

Four. We have been a party of four for the past fi Four. We have been a party of four for the past five weeks and it’s going to take many more weeks to get used to it, adding a babe to the family with a toddler is a BIG adjustment. I know one day they’ll be the best of friends, today is not that day. 

Yesterday I did brave the grocery store with both (we’ve been doing grocery pickup or shopping on the weekend when Travis is home). Carrier in one arm, Ted in another. Thanks to the sweet lady who offered to unload her cart in the parking lot to give to us.
Truman’s room made all my vintage nursery dreams Truman’s room made all my vintage nursery dreams come true. The paneling on the walls was perfect and I knew it had to stay (I’m sure the day will come where he’ll want it painted). I used most of the same nursery decor that we had for Teddy and added a few new things. Teddy enjoys going in and stealing all his things and I’m sure soon enough Truman will do the same to big brothers room.
