The new Americana Chalky Finish paint is available online at Home Depot! You can have it shipped straight to your front door, or you may have it delivered to your local Home Depot store and pick it up for free! Whoop!
So...what do you think? Have I gone a little chalky paint crazy, or do you think you may want to join me?

I have just started painting my table and chairs with this, so far I am loving it. I had it shipped straight to my door since I live an hour and a half from the nearest Home Depot.
Lynn says

This is awesome! I LOVE the colors in your kitchen! We are redoing an antique dresser we have to be our island in our kitchen. I am SO excited to get it done. Going to have to make this menu for it!
Jenni Heath says
Do they have samples or swatches of the chalky paint at the store? I want to see what the colors look like in person before placing an order. Thanks :) I love what you have made.
Jessica says
They don't at this time, but I can definitely see about getting a swatch for you. I'll get back with you as soon as I find out! xoxo, Jessica

I just did my entire kitchen cabinetry with Annie Sloan. I'm not all the way done yet but I got a really rough finish. Is that typical with chalk paint?
Jessica says
You may need to lightly sand it. I have heard that it's typical with some chalk paints, but did not experience any roughness with the Americana Chalky Finish Paint at all. It is silky smooth. Hope the sanding helps! xoxo Jessica
Diana Tippie says
Nothing to do with the above information, but do you know how to clean greasy kitchen cabinets?
Jessica says
Hi, Diana! You could try a mixture of equal parts water and vinegar with a couple of drops of dish liquid. That works for most grease situations. Hope this helps! xoxo Jessica

Hi, I have been waiting to see if anyone has used the chalky paint line from Home Depot. I wanted to get some feed back on the paint. It is a lot cheaper then most chalk paint, I have made my own when I want to use chalk paint but I have wanted to try this paint line. I wanted to know if you can give me some info on the paint compared to the other paints that are out there.
They have so many color choices as well, and also how is the wax that they offer? I would really appreciate any feed back that you can offer to me. I don't want to end this email without telling you that I follow your blog and really enjoy your work and have gained a lot of knowledge from your work as well. I have just started painting furniture to sell for the past year so I am still learning and growing with the help from blog's like yours. Thank you for sharing so much with use.
Best regards
Debbie
Jamie Ross says
Any update on your kitchen island chalk paint project? I love the photo and it's similar to what I want to accomplish.
Linda Parson says
I would like to use this for lettering a baby name on a plaque, they want a matte finish nothing shinny do I just paint it and leave it or do I need to protect it ?
Jessica says
I would still protect it, unless you want the paint to come off. Hope you love it!
Sharon says
It's looks so good and easy to do. I'm ready to try Chalky paint. I looked on Home Depot website and they have a Matt clear topcoat by Rust-Oleum that brushed on, don't have to wipe off like the wax, and is supposed to be more durable? Have you tried it?
Also my living room tables need help. When small chips of paint have come off the tables look like they're a kind of plastic. Can I use chalky paint on plastic and on a shiny wood finish?
Thanks ahead of time,
Sharon
