Farmhouse Style Wall Mantel

I've been in search of a wall mantel for a long time.

I just hadn't been able to find what I was looking for until now. 

I ran across someone selling a wall mantel on a local site and it was the right price and size, but the wrong color.

So I did what any DIYer would do... I painted it.

I used a base coat of Chalk Paint® in french linen I had leftover from another project then used Rust-Oleum Chalked Paint in linen white to go over the grey color. I wanted to be able to distress the white and have the darker grey show through when I sanded.

When all was dry I distressed heavily with a fine grit sand paper.


The new mantel was just what I was looking for and it cost me $8 and a tiny bit of paint!
