Chalk Paint

My first experience with chalk paint has been one that was pretty painless. I decided after installing hard wood floors in home, my old buffet needed some color so that it wouldn't blend in. I wanted to bring out the details and show it off. I used Annie Sloan "pure white" chalk paint. No need to sand or prime and that's why I mentioned it's painless. Once I painted it, I decided to distress it to make it look old. I love the old rustic look. I used a 60 grit sand paper piece and just brushed it back and forth until I got the look I wanted. I'm pretty happy with the results.
