At that same expo, we sold chalk paint; here in the office, Home s slogan has always been your practical guide to beautiful living that s what this issue is all about, too! we re all too familiar with its merits, but several people were amazed by the potential makeover power of the paint in that little tin. Grab a paintbrush, believe in your own creativity, and give it a try! Just look at the kitchen revamp on page 46 it was mostly done with chalk paint. And melamine has never looked that good!
