Looking to repaint an old piece of furniture but having
trouble deciding on what kind of paint you want to use? Why not try an
eco-friendly, acrylic free chalk-based paint. I have been working with it
lately to make handcrafted furniture and it’s amazing. The American Paint
Company ( americanpaintcompany.com ) paint is made purely of clay and chalk and
is a mineral based paint that does wonders on old wood furniture. No priming or
sanding necessary, just pick a color or a few colors and go for it. There is
endless possibilities while using this kind of paint, since it is chalk based,
it is easily rubbed off with water before the final wax coat is applied. This
leaves room for our unavoidable mistakes while trying to repaint those small
crevasses in the design of the old wood furniture piece. No one is perfect, that’s
why the ability to wash away mistakes with a damp paper towel is a plus!
