DecoArt Americana Decor chalky paint

Hello, hello!

So excited today to be sharing DecoArt Americana Decor chalky paint review.

This chalky paint was totally new to me. Best part, they sell it at Home depot!

Whoot!

In fact, I was sent every color under the sun, so you will be seeing a lot of this paint.

Not because, I have it all, but because I really loved it.

This piece actually is not mine.

 It is a friends that she has had sitting in her garage for a few years.  She bought it at Kirklands and felt it to be outdated and did not fit in her decor anymore.

We can fix that!

I knew I wanted to do two colors.  I like to make things a bit difficult on myself…one color would have been simpler, but simpler does not always mean it looks prettier either. I love two toned furniture.

Color choices:

Inheritance heritage {yellow color}

and Vintage retro {Blueish color}

I painted each color two coats with a purdy paint brush.  Went on very smooth and creamy.  I let the first coat dry, before I applied my second coat.

I then used the dark wax which is also sold at Home depot.  This is the coolest wax ever.  It comes in a liquid form, almost like paint.  I was going to use just the clear, but I opted for the more rustic frenchy look, so the darker wax was perfect.

Americana Decor 8-oz. Deep Brown Creme Wax

I used a paint brush as you can see, and wiped as I went along.

I think the wax  really finished off the piece the way I wanted it to look.

My friend  chose clear hardware from World Market.  

I did not distress the piece, however, you certainly can achieve that chippy, distressed look as well with this paint.

I chose NOT to paint the legs. I liked the darker look and thought it compliments the dark wax as well.

In a nut shell, I would totally recommend this paint. For the price, the ease, the color choices, well I guess you can say all of the above.

It’s a clear winner in my book!
