I bet if you play up that detail on it, it will stand out nicely and you may wind up liking it.Kathy @ Creative Home Expressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341667486449125153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625514509230626982.post-84461824351514076152015-06-26T20:48:29.868-04:002015-06-26T20:48:29.868-04:00Chalk paint always looks better distressed.

Chalk paint is dull but adding some wax (I use johnsons or minwax paste wax) adds a little sheen that brightens it up and keeps it from looking so blah.<br />Karen Lamberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935020817999819408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625514509230626982.post-1489709429898018962015-06-26T16:55:50.268-04:002015-06-26T16:55:50.268-04:00It's good to know that even experts have thing...It's good to know that even experts have things go wrong sometimes.

Maybe if you distress it to get a lot of the paint off and glaze it with black glaze or silver it'll look good. I'm sure you can make it look fantastic.
