The Perfect Latex Paint Color Match to Annie Sloan’s French Linen Chalk Paint!

So, I was so excited to tell you about this!

Last year, when I painted my dresser/vanity with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in French Linen, I got a LOT of questions.

Mainly about the Annie Sloan Chalk Paint that I used.  You loved the color of the paint, French Linen, but you weren’t sure about the chalk paint.

Many of you wanted to know how to use chalk paint. Is it easy to use?, is it durable?, how do you wax it?, etc.

You were also concerned with the price of the paint.  It’s between $30-$40 for a quart.  Ouch!

I guess a lot of you had reservations about using the chalk paint, and I totally get that.

But if you are more comfortable working with latex paint and love the color of the Annie Sloan French Linen, then I have good news for you!

I found the PERFECT MATCH in a latex paint to Annie Sloan’s French Linen!

Side Table Makeover with Chalk Finish Paint

Today I am going to show you how I made over a $20 side table with DIY chalk finish paint!

Since last fall, I haven’t had any side tables to place beside our couch or loveseat.  That drives me crazy because I like to have a lamp and a place to sit my drink while I am sitting on the couch.

Honestly, I just haven’t had the extra money to buy a new side table, so I have been looking for something inexpensive to re-do and use.

I was so excited when I found this little side table at a local antique mall for $19.99.  I liked the shape, and it was well made with solid wood, so I decided to buy it.

Here it is sitting by our couch just a few days ago with the glass lamp full of Christmas ornaments in it that I kept forgetting to take out.
