Shabby Chalk & Shimmer Paint Coming May 15th 2013
Why we are doing our part, to get the toxins out of your paint, your air, your home and away from your children!
I have always been “that” girl. The one who seemed to be allergic to everything. One day sitting in yet another office, a doctor said something that made sense. “Everyone is allergic to these toxins. Your body is telling you before cancer or other serious health problems happen.” THAT was my “A-HA!” moment. I had to make a decision- I can stop doing what I love, or get out there and find something safe.
With lots of prayer, blessings, and a few just plain miracles, I met some wonderful ladies who have the same environmental and health concerns and share my vision. I put my faith in The Almighty and “jumped”.Shabby Chalked and Shabby Shimmer Paint were born…
Every product is safe, non-toxic, ZERO V.O.C., made and owned in the USA. The extensive line of products will cover chalk-based paints, Shimmer, VAX, Varnish, Glazes, and more!
Over the next month I plan to share my test colors and projects. I want to inspire you and show you what this line can do for YOU. This isn’t about me, this is something no one else in the market currently has. Shabby Chalked and Shabby Shimmer Paint is a true American made and owned business that puts quality, safety, health and the environment FIRST! We offer the DIYer and business owner a safe, quality paint that is like no other. This is more than chalk for adhesion- this paint uses a high quality resin made to outlast the rest. We don’t think American made should cost more either and our price reflects that.
If you know someone with chemical sensitivities, allergies, is pregnant, or concerned about long term health problems, I urge you to share this with them.
Thanks so much for providing this!! I have allergies to everything and my son has asthma so we are so grateful that you provide Zero VOC products! It is really a bonus that I can order from the US and not have to wait for product to come from the UK or Canada! I can’t wait to try more of your products!
So glad you found us. Has been a long road but we are so happy that we finally have a safe paint that everyone can use 🙂 Share your projects..we love pics. Shannon

Can I paint my walls with your chalked paint?
Debra, you sure can. You can also special order or wall paint. It is not as thick but the same ingredients. I used it in the Guest/Gbaby Room. Took 3 quarts of Garfield grey. Dark colors don’t usually need but one coat.
Getting ready to paint my piece with your paints. What’s the best way to clean the piece before painting it?
Wendy, I personally use water and an old shirt. If it is greasy or extra dirty I use a 50/50 vinegar water mixture to clean.
Thanks,
Shannon
Thank you so much for creating the best paint ever! I have always been allergic to the fumes and toxins in paint as well. I recently tried your chalk paint and VAX and am beyond thrilled that I can paint to my hearts’ content without fumes and getting sick. The paint is so easy to work with and looks amazing! I love your products and will be buying alot more since I will be doing alot more painting! Thanks to your products, I am now able to completely custom design furniture and home decor the way I want it!
Gabriella,
WOW thank you for taking the time out to comment. You are the reason I had to make it happen. Finding my passion then almost losing it because of my reaction to toxic paints was a real motivator 🙂
Share your projects..we love to see pics 😉

I painted a old desk using Americana Decor Chalky Finish. Everytime my 5 year old sits at the desk he breaks out, looks like hives. Can I repaint over it using your shabby paint, or do I have to strip it first. Thanks
Kandi, I’m so sorry to hear that. You could just paint over it and seal it but it isn’t a guaranteed method to remove the toxins. It’s hard to say what kind of toxins are in their paint but just to be sure I would take it outside, mask up and sand as much of it as you can off. Then paint it. Did you use their wax too?
Again so sorry this is happening.
