Hey, Besties!
Guess what? I stumbled upon a bit of treasure during my latest Aldi escapade. Nestled between the avocados and the almond milk was this darling can of Deco Style Furniture Chalk Paint, priced at just $7.99! Naturally, I had to snag it.
Not a Paint Snob, Just a Thrifty Queen
Let's get one thing straight: I'm no paint elitist. My basement is a kaleidoscope of mismatched paint cans, each with its own story to tell. Why? Because I'm a thrifty shopper at heart. I'm all in, whether it's a clearance sale at the local hardware store or a hidden gem at the Habitat ReStore.
The Thrill of the Paint Hunt
You see, part of the fun is the unpredictability. Sometimes, you score big with a can of pristine paint; other times, let's say it's a "character-building" experience. But hey, that's the thrill of the hunt!
First Impressions: Thick & Dreamy
I've already taken this Aldi chalk paint for a spin on a couple of projects, and let me tell you, it's like spreading frosting on a cake—thick and dreamy.
Vintage Gray: A Moody Love Affair
Initially, the Vintage Gray shade had me skeptical. It looked like a gloomy day in a can. But oh, how it's grown on me! It's got this vintage, moody vibe that I'm totally vibing with now.
The Sealing Deal
I even jazzed up our handmade bench with this Aldi wonder. A little wax to seal the deal, and voila! Pure magic. I'm also experimenting with water-based sealers, and so far, so good.
The Verdict: A Steal of a Deal
Bottom line? This Deco Style Furniture Chalk Paint is a keeper. Quality and affordability in one cute can? Yes, please!

Hi. It looks really good. Can you tell me what kind of wax you used?
ReplyDeleteI bought that exact color some time ago and had it set aside for a project. I'm so sad I put it off because now I want more cans of it! I love how it covers and the texture is super smooth. I really wish I could find more.
DeleteHi Ania,
DeleteI used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Clear Wax to seal the bench. It still looks great a year later!
Michele,
DeleteI think Aldi carries it about once a year but I'm not totally sure. It really is a great paint!
did you sand the furniture first
ReplyDeleteThe bench was bare wood so I didn't sand before I painted. On the table legs, I honestly didn't sand beforehand, just because I'm lazy. Chalk paint is marketed to be used without sanding. As I get more experience with painting furniture though, I would recommend sanding everything first. It doesn't have to be down to the bare wood--just a nice, flat layer. A lot of things have a glossy finish applied & it's difficult to cover that without several coats. Sanding everything gives your new paint a good start. I hope that helps!

did you sand the furniture first
ReplyDeleteJust wondering what water based sealer u used to seal the furniture
ReplyDeleteFor the table legs, I used Minwax Clear Polycrylic in a satin finish. I've heard it's the best for sealing furniture without the old paint bleeding through so I've used it a few times. I've had it bleed through a dark red painted piece before though. Any more, I try to find a paint with a topcoat in it or use wax for chalk painted pieces. I hope this helps!
