How Not To Paint Furniture

I do not possess the talent required to paint;

patience and attention to detail, 

but..... I did it anyway.

 Faith Farm Thrift Store buffet/server $39.00

It seemed like a good idea at the time. 

 I started out with high hopes and a Google

search formula for homemade

 Chalk Paint

1 C flat latex paint

2 T non-sanded grout
(note: an improved formula HERE.)

I taped off the newly sanded and stained top

and got started. The small sponge roller 

didn't work well for me. Too many lumps, 

so I just used my small brush.

 This is the point where I realized that 

I do not like painting furniture

 But I soldiered on and got the first coat done.

It looked terrible, but I still had hope 

and I needed a brownie break.

The saga continues......
