As I was hanging out in Barnes and Nobles the other day I read an article about making your own chalk paint. I have to admit I have not tried it yet but I will.
Considering the cost of chalk paint and the limited colors, this might be my best bet.
So for all of you that want to try something different:
1 cup of latex paint
2 Tablespoons of unsanded tile grout
mix until smooth and apply
Sounds simple enough right?
Please let me know if you do this. Would love to know the results.
I think I see a trip to Home Depot in my future!

I certainly will have to try this as well. May add Home depot to my errands this next week. Thanks for sharing.
Love your Audrey dresser & wouldn't mind trying to do one someday lol. I think Martha Stewart has an article floating around somewhere on how to make colored chalk paint.
I tried this and it really does work! Sometimes you don't need a whole cup of paint, so you can downsize the measurements since the I learned that the paint won't keep, it will set up from the grout being in it. Yes, I tried saving my left overs without thinking about the grout being in it. duh!
