One of my really good friends I recently staged her home for her to sell. It took one coat of paint then a really light touch up in some spots for the second coat. It is a really soft white, no yellow in it, I see a little touch of gray but it turned out a really pretty color. This is the dresser that I painted in Manor White Mud Paint. But honestly I couldn’t tell a big difference in the two products, only the color options. One of the differences of the Mud Paint it is a little smoother than Chalk Paint. The above picture shows a drawer from the piece I painted in the Manor White Mud Paint on top of my sideboard that was Pure White Chalk Paint. I also painted the hardware.Īnother piece I painted was with Mud Paint. I was going to pull it off then I tried to paint one piece and I loved the look so I left it. I had applied wallpaper to the original piece in the panels. I left it right in this room and laid plastic around the base to avoid getting paint everywhere. It took me about 5 hours to paint this then maybe an hour or less to apply the wax. I used an entire quart of paint on this piece. Painting a big piece can seem scary, but wow what a difference it makes to the space. I need to just go with it the first time I think of it, that way I can enjoy it longer. I had wanted to do this piece for awhile too, I don’t know why I am apprehensive at first. My large sideboard that I have had for close to 10 years is my favorite piece I painted. Then I painted it in Antoinette Chalk Paint (pink) see more HERE. The Paris Gray is a light gray, it does have a touch of purple under tones, that being said I do love the color. It took two coats of paint and then I applied the clear wax over the top. I used Paris Gray Chalk Paint on this piece.
I had been dying to paint it and it seemed so overwhelming, I finally got the courage and did it and did not regret it for one minute (read about my piano HERE). The first piece I painted was my Great Grandmas piano. All of the pieces I painted did not have a lot of lacquer or had been treated with a lot of cleaning products, both important to factor in before painting.
Now I know that is not always the case for everyone, it depends what you are painting over. Both took only one coat of paint then a light second coat. I get asked often what the difference is between them, so I thought I would share my experience with both Mud Paint and Chalk Paint. I have painted about 7 of my own pieces of furniture with Chalk Paint or Mud Paint.
