The easiest way to blend chalk paint | sponging technique
To make over this secretary desk I blended 3 chalk paint colors, using the sponging technique. The sponging technique is a very forgiving technique, when you are trying to blend colors. You can use a regular kitchen sponge for this.
To give the piece a more romantic look, I applied a transfer by Redisgn with Prima, called "Life in full bloom". I distressed the transfer with some sanding paper, to give it an aged look. I also used some black wax to achieve an even more aged effect.
I'm very happy with the result. This piece sold in just 1 day...! I really hope you like it too.
I used these products in this video:
- Chateau Grey from Annie Sloan
- Graphite from Annie Sloan
- Honfleur from Annie Sloan
- Transfer "Life in full bloom" from Redisgn with Prima
- Clear wax from Annie Sloan
- Black wax from Annie Sloan
- Spray mister
- Kitchen sponge

Thank you so much! I really loved working on this dresser. I always get so excited and impatient when I know I'm going to put on a transfer. I could hardly wait till all the paint dried. 😁😁
Looks gorgeous 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Hi Leen, sorry you got a dud and your husband had to do all of this work. I have learned the hard way not to commit myself to anything until I examine the piece in person. But, both you and your husband did an amazing makeover with this desk. Thank you for sharing this blending technique. It's only good for read solid wood, but it's awesome and it looks easy. I will have to give it a try. Thank you.
