I popped into Home Depot yesterday to grab a few DIY supplies and stumbled upon this great selection of paints from Martha Stewart. It seems like just the right size to paint a small piece of furniture or some accessories you may want to update. I grabbed the aged gold for a project I'm working on; I'll let you know how it works. They had several different finishes; bold, shimmery, and even glazes. They ranged from around $5-$6 which I didn't think was too bad at all. Have you seen these paints from Martha? or given them a try? I'll be sure to update you with how my little projet turns out.
I love her paint at Home Depot! We just painted our bedroom and only did one coat!! I think you'll like it!!
ReplyDeleteI knew HD sold her paint- but I havent seen these little ones! Must head to my HomeDepot- ASAP. Thanks for passing this along!
ReplyDeleteI have tried her paint. I used the Precious Metals glaze for a light blue I did in the dining room. It turned out beautiful and not too shiny. However, I used the Potters Clay glaze for the bathroom. Disaster. It is a dark green and the base took a bazillion coats to get even as well as the glaze. I love the colors in her line and the paint is low fume which is nice
ReplyDeleteLet me guess...you bought gold!? hehe
ReplyDeleteI LOVE her paint! The smell isn't too bad and was gone in less than 6 hours! I haven't used it on any projects....just walls.
ReplyDeletecool this may be my time to finally try a diy!
ReplyDeleteI've used all her paint. I have to say I wanted to like the paint but, really i was in love with the colors. I usually get a tester and get it matched with Behr. In my experience I found I needed not just 2 coats but, 3! But I still match her colors. Then I moved on to her metallics. LOVE the silver but, the gold is a disaster. It doesn't have enough metallic in it for me. We had fun painting it on pillows, lamps. The silver was a blast. I haven't tried the potters clay though.

I bought one of these to do a stenciling project and it was just the perfect amount and perfect color.
ReplyDeleteI bought 2 jars of the specialty paints. I think I know what I am going to use them on. I'll come back and leave a comment when I post my creation in a few days. :-) Love your blog- this is my first time here, but it won't be my last.
ReplyDeletehaha i work at HD :)
ReplyDelete&i have used it! &i loved it!
i had some black picture frames and a large black mirror (everything in my house is bronze and brown) so i used her oil rubbed bronze color and added some brush marks to give it a rustic look turned out great!
I used the "Black Lamp" one to paint our main drain in the basement. Someone had spray painted it green long ago so it looked mouldy and icky (Technical terms). I love how it turned out! The sparkle black is totally unexpected on a drain pipe but for 6 bucks its no longer "icky" and I love it now!
ReplyDeleteSo cool! Love the sparkly finish!
