Are you looking for ways to spruce up your space and bring some new life into your home?
Look no further and get those paintbrushes ready, with Kmart’s budget friendly chalk paints. Priced at $7 you can turn everyday plant pots and furniture into one of a kind pieces.
The Kmart Home Decor and Hacks Facebook group is a great community to find inspiration for affordable DIY projects, as well as share tips, and tricks on any project you have worked on in the past. One member from the group, recently shared a DIY Project using Kmart’s chalk paint transforming her refurbished chest drawers into something completely new and fresh.
She explained it only took three coats of vintage green chalk paint, about one and a half jars to achieve the final look.
‘No sanding, painted straight on, haven't waxed or varnished it,’ she added.
Members of the group were quick to comment and praise her for a job well done on her project. Another even suggested applying the Kmart’s $10 lacquer to protect the furniture and its new paint job.
With its affordable price point, it’s no surprise that it garnered a lot of attention, along with members raising questions about the paint’s lasting effect.
One person inquired, ‘Is it scraping off easily?’
Fortunately a seasoned DIYer came to rescue and shared their experience with Kmart’s chalk paint, ’I've used it on my table legs and chairs’.
‘We don't use the table much, but the chairs get moved and knocked, and six months in, it's holding up. I think the most important thing is giving the paint time to cure and using the appropriate seal to protect it.’
