As an Amazon employee, I earn commission from purchases.

We fell in love with the dining room set we purchased, but once it was in our house, we noticed the “antique white” just didn’t go with the bright white paneling and trim. I got some chalk paint off of Amazon (which is AMAZING!), started painting… and wow, what a difference!

This is the before of the dining room:

I used Rust-Oleum Ultra Matte Interior Chalked Paint for the project. I used Linen White for the chairs and Country Gray for the drawers and table base.

The difference in color! The “antique white” was really like a light tan.

Here’s the after!

Chalk paint is very forgiving, so don’t be afraid to try painting furniture. Just a warning… it can be very addicting!!
