Hello Chalk Paint...I Think I LOVE You!!! Stereo Cabinet Redo



I scored this old stereo cabinet off of craigslist...FREE section!!!  Cha CHING!!!!


I took out the 8 track and record player, and then took out speakers. 
I also pulled off the ugly nylon rope fabric covering the speakers. 
My lovely husband cut a board for the top where the schtuff was,
and two small boards to go over the holes where the speakers once were.

I painted the entire cabinet with Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint. 
This stuff is miracle paint. 
I did not sand, prime, just PAINTED IT. 
I used the color "provence".  


I hot glued the fabric onto the boards and then put back the panels. 
I then rubbed on Annie Sloan's soft wax in Rustic all over the piece. 
I then put everything back together.
   I covered the speaker holes with this beautiful fabric from JoAnn's. 
I wanted to add an unexpected pop of color.


I honestly can't say enough good things about this paint. 
 It ROCKS!!  I love how this piece turned out.
Even my husband didn't see the potential.

  14. I tried looking on website, but it doesn't appear that the chalk paint you used is available anywhere in Wichita. Where did you order it?

  15. If you love chalk paint but dont like the price or cant find it where you live, you can totally make it yourself! Mix roughly 1/3 whiting powder (you can buy it at Sherwin Williams or other paint suppliers) with 2/3 latex paint, stir well and paint, it is great on a tight budget! More powder gives more of a chalky appearance, there is no exact measurement. Love what you did with the cabinet by the way, VERY cool!!

  17. You have inspired me to do the same thing to an old record player my husband has had for years. I would like to achieve the same rustic look as yours, but am not sure how to do it. Can you tell me how many coats of paint you used? Also, when you say you used the "wax in Rustic" are you referring to a color of the wax? I only have the clear wax.
