Homemade Chalk Style Paint Pie Safe

Last year we bought an old RV.  It needs some work to get it running well, but we hope to do a little traveling in it.  I’m also hoping to make it look pretty – as if I need another remodeling project.

Inside the RV was this little pine cabinet.  It was cute, but bland.  It reminds me of a pie safe.

I whipped up a batch of homemade chalk style paint.  I used turquoise on the outside and bright white on the interior.

I love this chalk-style paint because it distresses so easily with just a damp rag – no need to make a mess sanding the paint.

I wiped a lot of the paint off, so some of the wood grain underneath would show through.

It makes such an adorable display cabinet.

Blessings,
