Tips for using chalk paint for the first time: • Trust yourself and don’t be scared to try something. We are all creative and we just need a bit of inspiration. • Play with colours – go bright and bold. • Make sure the surface is clean and oil-free before you start to paint. Thinners does the job every time. • Make sure you use a goodquality brush that doesn’t lose any hairs while you paint. • There is little to no prepping necessary. Chalk paint sticks to just about any surface without any problems. • Chalk paint gives a very rustic feel and that means that you don’t have to be a pro to use it. You don’t have to worry about getting even layers of paint or the perfect technique if you’re a beginner. • You can distress any piece of furniture with light sanding. • Create a two-tone distressed look by painting two colours over each other, followed by sanding the top layer. • Use wax to seal the product if necessary, or just to create texture. • You can use chalk paint on just about everything, including exterior walls, garden furniture, metal, concrete, matte plastic, terracotta, indoor walls, wooden floors, tiles, wood furniture and couches (yes, you can paint on damp material with chalk paint!). • You can paint one piece of furniture or focus wall, or you can transform an entire room with chalk paint. • Start with something old, cheap and insignificant – don’t start with a set of drawers that has been in your family for generations. Take it easy and start off with something simple until you feel confident enough to move onto more significant pieces of furniture. • Stencilling can be tricky, so don’t use this technique on your first try. 38 Get It Joburg West DEC/JAN 2019 - 2020 Transform your kitchen You will need: Tjhoko Paint (Sherif's Stone, Olivia's Pale), Glaze Clear; sponge roller (160mm); embellishments; Alcolin Super Glue; paintbrush (50mm wide); artist's brush; damp cloth; wax. Method: Clean the cabinets with a rag dipped in paint thinners and allow to dry completely – wait at least 20 minutes. Mask off any sections you don’t want to paint. Apply the base colour paint with a sponge roller, making sure the paint is evenly distributed; wait another 20 minutes before applying the second coat. Paint the embellishments you wish to apply in the same colour; allow them to dry completely and then position them using Alcolin Super Glue. Wait for the glue to dry and apply an accent colour to small sections of the embellishments with an artist’s brush. Using a damp cloth, wipe with circular movements over the painted areas to blend the paint on the embellishment with that of the cupboard door. Wait about four hours after you’ve painted before sealing the cupboard with wax. As seen in Tuis/ Home. Photos by ER Lombard.
Chalk-painting your inspiration space Jazzing up a room is as easy as one, two, three! By adding a bit of colour to a wall or making your own rustic furniture, you can transform any area into an inspiration space. The wall: Paint the wall using Simon Says, a stimulating mustard-yellow colour. Drawers for shelves: Paint each drawer a different colour (Nade, Karema, Cloud White, True Blue, Sherif’s Stone); Stencil patterns on drawers using Stencil of Paris (it can be painted over when it’s dry); Create a ‘distressed’ look for the drawers by painting them in Cloud White and sanding them. Table: Use an old door as a tabletop. Paint the door using Simon Says and True Blue; Afterward, lightly sand it to allow the yellow to show through here and there, and to create a weathered effect; Use two old crates to support the tabletop; Whitewash the crates with a mixture of equal amounts of Antique Brown Glaze and Vinia Stone rubbed on with a damp cloth. Chair: Make a seat from an old petrol drum by cutting it in half, adding wheels and painting the drum in Karema; Cover a cushion in a natural, woven, cream-coloured fabric and paint it with Nade, True Blue, and Karema, creating the stripes with masking tape. Lighting: Convert a few baskets into lampshades and paint them different shades of blues. As seen in Idees/Ideas. Photo’s by Hanneri de Wet. Bathroom revamp You will need: Tjhoko Paint (Lorain’s Cream, Coral Stone, Cloud White, Comfort’s Blue, Elvis Mix; masking tape; stencil paint roller; paintbrush (50mm wide); Stencil of Paris; paint scraper. Method: Paint the wall with the base colour (Lorain’s Cream). Apply two coats of paint; wait for the first layer to dry completely before applying the second layer (about 30–40 minutes between coats). Then leave overnight before doing the stenciling, as the masking tape used for keeping the stencils in place might pull off the fresh paint. Paint the squares with your first stencil – the stencil has square cut-outs that create the tile effect. Position the stencil with masking tape. Using a sponge roller, paint the squares with the Coral Stone. The roller must not be dripping wet, and the paint must be spread evenly over the roller. When the squares are dry, take a dry 50mm paintbrush or a stencil brush and apply a dry-brush technique in Cloud White to each alternate square. Wait until dry, then remove the stencil. Repeat across the entire wall until every alternate square is painted a lighter background colour. Position the patterned stencil with masking tape on the exact spot where the ‘squares’ stencil was placed. Tip: Make small pencil marks at the end of step 2 so that you know where the second stencil must be placed. Using a stencil brush, apply Comfort’s Blue to each alternate square (those with the Cloud White background). Mix 5ml Elvis Mix with a pot of Stencil of Paris. This paint will tint the Stencil of Paris to a soft beige. Using a paint scraper, spread the Stencil of Paris evenly over all the open squares painted with Coral Stone in step 1. Lift the stencil carefully from left to right after each application. Make sure the stencil is clean before repeating the pattern (rinse it in lukewarm water and dry well) across the entire wall. The Stencil of Paris takes 2–3 hours to dry completely. DEC/JAN 2019 - 2020 Get It Joburg West 39
