DIY Chalk Paint, Not Chalkboard!

So I have been dying to paint my daughters dresser and some other things. But I finally did the dresser...for the most part. I had to put a few nails in it first.

Anyways, its made out of that crappy laminent fake wood that just completely falls apart and is a waste of money! So after a few nails and hammering a few spots back into place, it was ready.

This is the paint I used. The color is called "fern gully", yes like the movie.

Youre going to want to take:

1 cup of paint

1/2 cup baking soda

3tbs of water 

MIX MIX MIX MIX

And then its ready. 

PAINT PAINT PAINT PAINT

And this is my result after about two coats...

You can still see streaks but thats what I s going for. And forgive the missing drawer, thats the one that fell apart.

It does dry fast!

Also, beware, because it will scratch off easily!

Now all I have to do is buy a top coat. No, I am not using a wax. Im simplifying it! 

And then it should be all finished!

I was a little skeptical about the baking soda, but it turned out great!
