If you’re new to me, then I want to welcome you to my blog. I also have an online shop where I sale my custom mirrors, home decor, and linens. This is the best brush for chalk painting furniture. You can see more of my painting projects, and learn how to do them also.

Let me mention that I buy about five of My Favorite Paint Brush’s for Chalk Paint each time I order. I end up giving some away, as people ask me about what paint brush I like best. When chalk painting, you don’t need a brush specially made for chalk paint. This one I find works even better. The application is smoother and coats the piece nicely.
It’s really hard for me to pick a favorite mirror so I included some of my latest creations. So far it looks like the white and gold mirror is my best seller. I tend to gravitate to this aqua blue and gold mirror. If you want to start up chalk painting, don’t hesitate to ask me questions. Being a beginner chalk painter can be intimidating. I have a great page that can get you all set up to start chalk painting on my painting resource page.
Having an excellent paint brush that doesn’t cost much really helps. I look for one that is easy to wash out even with chalk paint. There are so many options and I have used many. I have spent $50+ on brushes and well as cheap dollar store brushes. I value a brush that is soft, flexible and doesn’t shed.

I have used Magnolia Home Kilz paint, I have a review about it. Creating beautiful, one of a kind mirrors is a passion that I’ve had for years now. I also offer chalkboard and memo boards with this style of frame. We make custom wood shipping boxes for our mirrors so they will arrive safely. Take a look around and let me know if I can help make something beautiful just for you.
I would love to see some of your chalk painting projects. Be sure to tag me on Instagram @HallstromHome. Thanks for stopping by!
I am waiting for delivery of a metal sun/moon face for my lanai. (no weather exposure) It will be stainless steel, painted with copper colored paint. The maker says the paint will NOT weather. I want to add patina to it. I have lots of The Gulf left from another project, and a little of a grey blue/green that I mixed up from left overs. Can I just use this on the copper colored paint or do I need to buy the patina paint and spray? Would you use a sponge to apply? Thanks, so glad I found your site and shop!
Hi Joanne,
I have used the patina and spray and I love it. But sometimes you don’t get exactly what you want. But I have also used chalk paint to get a patina look. So I think the paint from your old projects would work! I would personally use a chippy brush and then wipe off excess paint with a paper towel.
Here’s a link to chippy brushes I use. I hope that helps and let me know if you have anymore questions!
