The next coat of paint will be the same color, but treated to be a chalkboard wall! The formula is from Martha Stewart: start with any color flat finish latex paint. For each cup, mix in 2 tablespoons of unsanded tile grout. Be sure to mix well and break up the clumps!
Based on how much paint it took to do the first coat, I estimated I would need five cups of paint. I filled my mixing bucket (old washed out ice cream bucket) with 5 cups of water, and marked that level. When I'm ready to mix the paint, I can pour it right into the bucket without having to sacrifice a measuring cup.
I'll post the after photos when (or if?) we finish it on New Years Day!
