Recipe for Chalk Paint

This is the chalk paint Terri mixed up that’s working such wonders in the Duvall House:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup flat or eggshell latex paint
• 1/3 cup warm water
• 1/3 cup Plaster-of-Paris

Method:

• Stir together warm water & Plaster-of-Paris. (Add more water or plaster to thin or thicken the mixture, as needed). No lumps.
• Pour into paint and mix thoroughly.

Notes:

• 1:3 Plaster-of-Paris to paint.
• Keep paint stirred, with lid on when not in use.
• Use stiff bristle brush; chalk brush recommended.
• Scrape peeling paint and flakes prior to application; wall surface does not have to be smooth.
• Apply paint in a circular motion; goal is to work the paint mixture into wall surface.
