## Description

SHABBY CHIC AESTHETICThe term ‘shabby chic’ was created by interior designer Rachel Ashwell. She founded a California furniture shop in 1989 where she sold furnishings that boasted ‘the beauty of imperfection’, restoring furniture while still giving it a distressed, ‘imperfect’ finish.Shabby Chic is a luxurious paint specifically formulated to create a distressed or imperfect look where brush strokes are desirable. To achieve this look a thinner paint is preferred over a thicker paint. Bring vintage and ornate charm to your home with Shabby Chic chalk-based furniture paint! This paint is perfect for DIY crafters, interior designers, and homeowners who already adore the shabby chic style or are looking to incorporate it into their home. Whether you dream of perfectly distressed tables and antique mirror frames, or ornate vanities and cribs, Shabby Chic can do it all!EASY TO USEHave a new dresser that just looks a little too new? An old coffee table that could use some sprucing? Grab a can of Shabby Chic and get painting! Apply the second coat after 15 minutes, and after 1 hour, the paint will be touch dry. The piece will be safe to handle after 2 hours and fully set and dry after 3. To create a distressed look, use 2 contrasting colors and lightly scuff with moistened sandpaper or a stainless steel scouring pad.MULTIPLE SURFACESEnjoy beautiful results on wooden furniture and create stunning renovations on metal, plastic, stone, brick, or plaster. Use the paint to upcycle metal window frames, revive worn brick and stone, or decorate a hutch or writing desk. For best results, ensure the surface you are painting is clean and free of any oil or wax. Bare wooden surfaces should be sanded before painting.ADVANCE FORMULAOur chalk-based paint is entirely non-toxic and water-based to be safe for use in enclosed spaces and near children.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I paint over finished wood without sanding?**
A: I just did a super light sanding. I painted a hall table and didn’t have to use much paint at all. The table had the same color as the new paint but it was glossy paint before. I recommend it.

**Q: Has anyone ever used this for a kitchen table? If so, do you have a picture? Thank you!**
A: I have not used this for a table . I used it on 2 dressers. Since it is chalk paint, I would recommend using some kind of sealer as you will be washing your table. The chalk paint will wipe off. I have used two different sealers. Polyurethane and another Behrs matte sealer that does not give it a shine if you want to stay with matte.

**Q: Can you use this on Metal?**
A: Yes, you can.  For best results please primer the metal (wood does not need to be primed).

**Q: Can this be used for an area to use chalk on a door??**
A: No this is not chalkboard paint.  However the makers of Shabby Chic also make chalkboard paint in 8 beautiful colors including Grey, available here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MXLH0RS


Shabby Chic Chalk Based Furniture paint is genuine quality made in the UK. Water-based chalk paint with virtually no odour. The paint can be used directly onto Wood (bare or painted), brick, stone, plaster or any suitably primed rigid surface (eg.metal, plastic, ect). Create a distressed look by applying two coats in contrasting colours then sanding / scoring when dry. Paint Preparation: For best results, ensure surface is clean and free from wax or oil. If wax has been used clean the surface thoroughly with white spirit. We recommend that bare wood should be sanded before painting. Application: Stir thoroughly prior to use. The product may be applied by brush or roller. If applying by brush, apply evenly following the grain of the wood. If rolling, use a short nap mohair roller. To create a distressed look apply two coats in contrasting colours. Allow to dry then lightly abrade with moistened sand paper or stainless steel scoring pad - abrade with the grain of the wood. Coverage: up to 12m2 per litre. Coverage may vary depending upon method and rate of application and porosity of surface. Drying Time: Touch dry in 1 hour. Handle after 2 hours. Apply a second coat after 2 hours if necessary. Full hardness after 3 hours. Clean Up: with water. Do not empty into drains or water courses. Some local authorities have special facilities for the disposal of waste coatings.
