Semilla de Apio - Pintura a la Tiza

I was a little nervous about trying chalk paint for the first time, but this one glided on so smoothly that even my shaky hand didn't leave a single brush mark. The matte finish dried to that soft, powdery feel you want from an aged piece, and I didn't even need a second coat on my old dresser.

I was nervous about how the chalky finish would look on my old dresser, but it dried to that perfect matte, vintage texture without any blotchiness. The paint covered surprisingly well in just one coat, and the soft celery green gives the piece that aged, lived-in feel I was going for.

The coverage is impressively thick—one coat hid the old dark stain on my dresser, though I did need a second pass for the corners. Dried to that soft, matte vintage feel I was after, just wish the color was a touch more gray than green.
