I'm seriously thinking of going gray.....
Comments (32)Thanks Kath, that pic was taken last summer in front of the one room country school house we used to attend in the early '60's. It has been moved to a historic site along with other country school houses. When we went inside it looked so small compared to how I remembered. We also went back to the farm where we were raised and were able to go inside the house (a neighbor's son bought it and let us go inside, no one is living there now) I wish I hadn't gone inside, it was a mess and again seemed so small..........and I'd been there (when the folks were still living in it) and I was an adult in the '80's. Sorry got off track there. We do have a lot of fun together and try to do special things together over the summer when I'm "home". Diane...See MoreChalk paint experts, SOS...I'm livid & need advice
Comments (70)hi Tina, yes, I'm familiar with regular milk paint; I used it for a number of projects a few years back. Love the stuff! Love that matte chalky tactile finish, too. If one can apply this Sloan chalk paint on top of other finishes, sounds like it's different from milk paint in that it has some kind of latex or acrylic additives. I know they market an acrylic binder that can be added to regular ole milk paint to achieve the same kind of coverage. But that must make it a bit more like a regular paint, and I have to say I'm rather fond of the unique way milk paint can be thinned as desired for that slightly see-through washed wood effect. Great tip on the ammonia as remover, cyn47, thanks! We tried just about everything to get 100-year-old milk paint off our kitchen woodwork in former house; can't recall if we tried ammonia. We finally resorted to a commercial preparation that I thought was more pricey than it was worth. At least we have established a definitive connection between felines and chalk/milk paint. As my contribution towards minimizing general grumpiness, here's a shot of my kitty on one of my old milk-paint projects. Well, at least his ears:...See MoreNeed ideas for small master bedroom entryway

Comments (9)Thank you! Beth H - I'm including two additional photos below, one from the other side and one from the other side and above. I love a slat wall; I think the only wall to do that would proably be the one with the picture frames on it now? It's a nice, open entry, but choppy with it opening to 3 different rooms. Not much wall space; where I can reach at least. Celery - That's amazing! I tried to 'photoshop' it w/out having phote shop and it wasn't much help :) This is very helpful, thank you! I'm thinking changing to a black rug here, since all three rooms come together here? TIA!! Stacey...See Morebradley_amber
