I doubt if they still carry the exact same entertainment center, but they might carry something similar.

I bought some Calcium Carbonate for my next chalk paint batch and I can’t wait to try it out!

I bought 5 lbs for $10.50 with free shipping. had it 3 days after I ordered it. Best part is it does not get hard while painting with it and you can use any brand of paint and will not get lumpy. I even forgot to put a lid on mine one night when I finished painting and when I realize it about 10:30 a.m. next morning it was still as good as when I started . I just had to stir it up. this will allow you to make up paint and what ever is left seal in container and will keep for a long time . This mixture is better than the plaster of Paris, grout, baking soda and any other I have read about. to make a quart mix 12 tablespoon of the calcium with enough water to make it smooth. then add to your 24 ounces of paint and stir good. if you only want a pint just half the recipe. a lot of what you are reading or seeing about paint minerals is this. they buy in bulk then repackage it as paint minerals to make chalk paint and make a big profit off it. Hope this helps someone
