Chalk & Milk Paint Tips & Techniques. Helpful How-to’s & DIYs

Making a Wood Barrel Fabulous with Old World Paint and a Secret Bling Weapon

25/7/2017

When my lovely neighbour Darlene gave this half-barrel to me, I'm pretty sure I didn't hear what she said about it because my mind was already whirring with the possibilities...

Shall I Hemp Oil it? Add some fabulous stencils? Do I keep it? It would be great to use for off-season boots by the back door? Or maybe by the front door with my shopping bags? I can store potatoes and onions in it. Or what about using it for recycling?

I know you all understand this feeling. New beginnings! All the possibilities! How do you decide?

Chalk Painting a Chandelier

Perhaps you've spotted one in a second hand shop
but weren't confident it was worth the effort.
Or you have one stashed in the garage or shed.
Maybe you even have one hanging in your home,
that you just don't like!

Chandeliers are one of those DIY projects
you can make entirely your own and create
genuine impact at the same time.

Old World Clay & Chalk Paint (or similar authentic chalk-based paint)
is my go-to for painting what
can be a difficult surface like a chandelier.

I've love the immediate and dramatic result
you get from painting a chandy.
