Salvaged - Vernice Effetto Gesso

It dries to that perfect matte, chalky finish without needing a ton of coats on my old dresser. A little goes a long way, and the vintage feel it gives off is exactly what I was hoping for.

The way it settles into the crevices of my cabinet doors gives that aged, lived-in look I’ve been chasing—no sanding or priming needed, and the chalky texture really grips the brush. Two coats did the trick for a full, soft antique finish.

I was a little nervous the color wouldn’t look as aged as the photos, but this chalk paint dries to that soft, matte vintage finish perfectly. The coverage on my dresser was solid with just two coats, and it sanded down beautifully for that antiqued look. Exactly the warmth I was going for.
