I love to share my findings {good and bad} with paint products I try out. I was so excited to use a no VOC & non-toxic paint on the nursery I just did. I think that of all areas in your home, a nursery should take top priority when it comes to painting with an eco-friendly product!! That being said, I offered it up to client after reading wonderful reviews. Their color palette is a little more earthy toned than ASCP- but beautiful. I used Vintage White.
I personally will likely never use this paint again!! It took more than double the paint over ASCP and double the time. I honestly thought when I opened the 2nd can that I would find a rich creamy paint and the first was just off somehow. Nope not even the 3rd and 4th. And that’s how many cans it has taken for the dresser, dresser/hutch, 2 head and foot boards to crib and slats. It took 4 coats to get a good solid coverage. Longer to dry than the other and if you aren’t “completely” dry the next coat takes off the first!! I was sooo disappointed. Then the distressing stage came and it does come off a lot easier than the other paints but that can be good only if you know this first… but that was my suspicion and so I went with a 220 grit and lightly lightly sanded. It is a beautiful beautiful finish… I told my client it’s almost like childbirth. You go thru all the hard stuff and then see the end and almost forget what it took to get there. But alas… I do think for the bed slats I will use my sprayer and this paint my be perfect for spraying just not hand brushing.

So, that is my two cents on CeCe Caldwell’s chalk paint. Not sold!!
