This Fontana cabinet from Broyhill isn't really my style but the price was right...FREE! I recently decided to chalk paint a bedroom set that has lots of deep scratches. I figured that
I could practice on this cabinet and make it into a coffee bar.
I was shocked at how little chalk paint is required. I used Waverly Chalk paint in "Agave" from Walmart, 16 oz jar for just $9.47 and I still have about half the jar left.
This cabinet was more scuffed up than it appears in the photos and not all of it is real wood, some pieces are MDF covered in a wood grain paper type thing but everything covered nicely. I might paint the inside of the upper cabinet, I just want to be sure I don't get scratches in the paint.
So, all in, I invested about $6 in our coffee bar.
