Painting Kitchen Cabinet “How To” Videos

You know that saying, “If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.” by  Marc Anthony?  Well, it is true!   And one of the many rewarding parts about my “job” is helping customers transform their dark kitchen cabinets and then seeing the look of accomplishment and pride on their faces.  In fact, we always suggest to take some “before” photos because the power of Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan and the transformation it will create – will be night and day!    

So, ……Hi!  My name is Trish.  And yes, that is me….. in the photo below.  (does everyone dislike themselves in photos….or listening to their own voices on tape, or is that just me?)  I started The Purple Painted Lady® eight years ago, and since then, we have helped easily over 10,000 people transform their kitchen using Chalk Paint®.

We are so thankful to (585) Magazine for writing an article about using Chalk Paint® for home DIY projects and featuring us. 

Chalk Paint® is not a Latex paint, and it is not an acrylic paint.  It is a water base paint  that has no smell at all.  There are no VOC’s and it is very easy to use since there is NO sanding, stripping or priming.  Chalk Paint® is extremely dureable and easy to maintain (and no, you do not need to reseal or apply a new top coat annually, bi-annually or for that matter, years)  The cost for the materials and the right tools to transform an average kitchen are less than taking a party of six to one of the nicer restaraunts in Rochester, NY!  

Now is the time to do something about that dark, dated kitchen.  And the team at The Purple Painted Lady® is here to show you how.  We will help youso you can do this yourself right the FIRST time… or …heck, if you want…..we can paint them for you!  We offer the best product, the best support and the best service!

Below are a couple links to two (very detailed) videos we created for the person who really wants to understand from nuts to bolts, what tools they need, the steps required and then…..demos on how to transform a cabinet.  Basically, instead of charging you money to take a class with us, we brought it into your home, for free!   Take a peek or better yet, visit us at our store in Macedon and pick up a free color chart with color swatches.   Don’t be scared….we are here to help you and will make sure you don’t mess it up!  I guarantee that your friends and family will ooh and ahh!  But more importantly, you will actually want to spend more time in your kitchen. And ….. I guarantee you will love the change!  Make 2018 the year of change for you!

Mixing Olive Chalk Paint® to create Custom Colors

Courtney and Trish at The Purple Painted Lady did a Facebook LIVE showcasing mixing the Olive Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan with other colors in her  Chalk Paint® suite. 

Please feel free to save these to your Pinterest boards!!!!

When we mix colors and we say “mix one part of “X” to two parts of “Y”  The “part” references to a unit of measure.  That unit of measure is dependent on the size of your project.  So, for example, it could be one tablespoon Coco and one tablespoon French Linen.  OR, it could mean – one cup Coco and one cup French Linen.  Just keep the unit of easure of your choice…consistent!

Here are the results of that video mixing Olive Chalk Paint® with other colors:

Olive mixed one to one with Giverny:

Olive mixed one to one with Henrietta:

Olive mixed one to one with Paloma:

Olive mixed one to one with Burgundy:

Olive mixed one to one with Old Ochre:

Many bloggers state, “Greige Could be the Best Neutral Color Ever”   So, if you follow us on our Facebook LIVE videos (which are saved on our Facebook page for you to watxh anytime you want)…..then you saw Courtney and Trish playing around with some Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan color combinations to create “beige’s.”

Please feel free to save these to your Pinterest boards!!!!

When we mix colors and we say “mix one part of “X” to two parts of “Y”  The “part” references to a unit of measure.  That unit of measure is dependent on the size of your project.  So, for example, it could be one tablespoon Coco and one tablespoon French Linen.  OR, it could mean – one cup Coco and one cup French Linen.  Just keep the unit of easure of your choice…consistent!

Here are the results:

Coco and French Linen mixed with equal parts (meaning one to one)

 

Coco  and Graphite mixed two parts of Coco and one part Graphite:

 

Four parts Coco  to One part Graphite

 

Three parts Country Grey to One part French Linen

Old Ochre, Old White and French Linen– equal parts of all of them mixed together:
