How Far Does a Quart of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Go?

So, how far does a quart of Annie Sloane's Chalk Paint really go?

I used a can of Old White to paint my top kitchen cupboards:

fronts twice,

inside doors once (they were already white).

I did put a very light grey wash on them

and then waxed them with light and dark wax.

The outside doors were this light brown color.

 

(Pardon the pink child in the way).

Amy from Maison Decor did all over her kitchen cupboards with one can

and left hers the color from the can.

Her kitchen is AMAZING and she has done all sorts of

money-saving tips to make it one of my favorite kitchens.

Her cabinets were wood to start,

so if you want to see how well they cover,

head over to her blog >HERE<

(On a side note, her laundry room is my dream laundry room!

See it >HERE<.

  I'd LOVE to do my ceiling in my living room like she did in her laundry room.)

Okay,

back to chalk paint.

With the same can of Old White,

I did a wash on the following:

this frame for a print in my kitchen,

my mantel clock,

my teacup shelf,

 

and plastic hallway mirror.

I base-coated a basket for my kitchen,

painted the top of my daughter's school desk,

painted the top sections of this small hutch.

added some touches to my porch chair,

and, yes,

even painted a pretty lazy susan for my fish bowl,

to make seeing the fish by little onlookers

less likely to be a tragedy of fish on the floor.

(Did you know that when you spin a fish bowl,

the fish stay in place.

Yes, but at least the kids think it's doing something,

so let's not tell them.)

Honestly,

I wasn't sure how I was going to use this lazy susan,

and it was one of my first transfers from The Graphics Fairy;

but at least the fish get a pretty,
smiling child looking in from the bottom,
so maybe the ones looking in from the side won't scare them as much.

Chalk paint spreads far.
Well worth the money to me,
for those
easy projects that would otherwise require sanding and priming.

So there you are:
 a can of Annie Sloane's Old White Chalk Paint.
