As a professional decorative painter I use all kinds of paint. I like the look and coverage of chalk style paint but the price keeps it from being an economical option, until now! I now offer Chalk Mix which can create Affordable Chalk Style Paint using any latex paint. This not only saves money but also opens up an entire rainbow of colors!

Here it is…

How to Make Affordable Chalk Style Paint

The Diva of DIY Chalk Mix, is life changing folks! This mix can change any latex paint into affordable chalk style paint. Not only can you make chalk style furniture paint, it can also be used to make chalkboard paint as well. I am so excited to offer you this alternative to the more expensive chalk paints on the market today. I have had so much fun working with this mix! Watch for my furniture makeovers to pop up from time to time!

How to mix your Affordable Chalk Style Paint: 

Furniture Paint

  • 1 cup latex flat or satin paint
  • 4 Tablespoons Chalk Mix
  • 2 Tablespoons water

Chalkboard Paint

  • 1 cup latex flat or satin paint
  • 8 Tablespoons Chalk Mix
  • 2 Tablespoons water

Upholstery Paint

  • 1 cup latex flat or satin paint
  • 2 Tablespoons Chalk Mix
  • 2 Tablespoons water
  • Note: The paint should be the consistency of thin pancake batter

As we started to upcycle more and more pieces of furniture I began to hate the chemical smell of the wax! I have a professional paint shop set up with good ventilation so I thought, if this stuff was giving me a headache how do all those DIYers out there deal with it. So I went on a search for a better wax to offer my Chalk Mix users. Here is what I found…

How to Make Affordable Chalk Style Paint

Say hello to Dirty Wax! You are going to love it! It is a water based wax that is completely natural and organic. Now when my girls want to freshen up the shop they refinish a piece of furniture just so they can wax it and make the shop smell like a citrus orchard. No lie folks! This stuff smells awesome! The coverage is amazing and it’s water clean up… yes, water clean up. It takes very little wax to seal your project and it dries to a nice durable finish. Giving your project that worn look is a breeze with the assortment of distressing colors. As an added bonus the wax does not create “lift off” spots, it works more like a glaze.

So Let’s DIY Together with these products that I know you will love. As I create more projects I want you to have the tools you need to be successful in recreating your own projects. Keep a lookout for more Diva Of DIY products to do just that!
