   I’ve been wanting to learn more about the art of chalk painting vs not. I’m painting my bedroom set soon and have been do I g a lot of research on colors and patterns to stencil or even finding a poster that might work. I’ve learned so much from you. Thanks so much.

     Thank you so much for leaving such a nice comment! I’m glad you found some of our posts helpful. Chalk paint is a very easy paint to work with and pretty forgiving. Good luck with your project and I’d really love to see if when you’re done! You can share pictures on our Facebook page or even email me. Hope you’re having a great week and thanks again for stopping by!

         Hi Patricia! You can use Annie Sloan’s chalk paint on leather. There may be other brands of chalk paint that will work too. I’ve never painted leather, but I have painted fabric furniture and I honestly wasn’t thrilled with the results. I thought the fabric felt like cheap, fake leather when I was finished. If you decide to try it, you’ll need to water down your paint a bit. When painting fabric, I also spritz the fabric with water to dampen it before painting, but I’m not sure that would work on leather. Paint one coat on, let it dry then lightly sand it with a fine grit sandpaper. Wipe off the dust and repeat. You can give it a coat of clear wax after your final coat of paint if you want, and it may need to be lightly sanded again after wax. Good luck, and if you decide to go for it let me know how it turns out.
