Chalk Paint is a great choice for painting on furniture, cabinets, and more. We have used it to create many wonderful pieces of art. One of the most important reasons why we use it to stain wood is that it gives us the freedom to decide how light or dark we want the wood to be. We also love that with the 64 color choices from Dixie Belle Paint Company, you can get any color of stain that will fit your style.
