  • This Wednesday September 30th, Annie Sloan Talks To…@EvaSonaike. Eva is a gifted, effervescent textile designer. Born and raised in Germany, with Nigerian heritage, now based in North London, Eva is known for her eponymous interiors company, which produces colourful, luxury West-African inspired home textiles & soft furnishings. I’ll be talking to Eva about how she channels her global citizen influences to create work that merges European antique, contemporary and traditional African, with mid-century modern aesthetics. All served with a hefty dose of colour. You can see example of her gorgeous work in the second slide, when we used her cushions as part of an official Annie Sloan photoshoot a few years ago, and in greater detail further along or over on her website: www.evasonaike.com/.

  • My Imitation Metallic Leaf has been available worldwide for just over a week now and I LOVE seeing the projects you’ve undertaken. If you’ve had a go and uploaded pics of your project then please hashtag your work #AnnieSloanMetallicLeaf so I can find it and admire it! That’s how I found this gorgeous chest of drawers by @pallesendesign, who used Chalk Paint® in Henrietta and Imitation Gold Leaf for this maximalist show-stopper!

  • ... And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you do a colour pop! Chalk Paint®️ in Paris Grey is a soft neutral that goes with everything - but to bring some joy why not pair it with a really bright, bold, splash of colour like @paintmetwice has done here? You only need a little colour and it really will make a big difference ☀️🌞☀️

  • A closer look at the second of my two new stencils which are available now (as always, be sure to check stock supplies with your local Annie Sloan Stockist). This is Faux Bone Inlay, inspired by traditional Indian furniture. Use with Old White and Pearlescent Glaze for an authentic - and beautiful - mother of pearl look. #AnnieSloan #ChalkPaint #AnnieSloanStencils #FauxBoneInlay

  • @thomas.klotz painted the outside of this dingy cabinet using zingy Chalk Paint® in Firle, transforming the piece from dark and dreary to bright and cheery! I wish he could come and perform such miracles on the weather here in the UK. The interior is a mix of Duck Egg Blue with Aubusson Blue, cleverly done so that the yellow glass windows will appear green when the cupboard doors are closed. #AnnieSloan #ChalkPaint #Firle #AubussonBlue

  • It’s all in the details! This is for those of you who wanted a closer look at the brand new range of Annie Sloan stencils. First up, we have Meadow Flowers. This design was inspired by the flora of Port Meadow here in Oxford. One very unsurprising constant of design throughout cultures and ages is to look to one’s environment – to the botanicals, the flora and the fauna of outdoors - for inspiration indoors. So that’s what I did, here in Oxford! Like all the best designs, this stencil is supremely adaptable. You could use really bright, bold, primary colours over a base of Chalk Paint® Napoleonic Blue and overlapped the stencil for a contemporary, colourful look. If your style is less maximalist, choose a tonal neutral for a charmingly subtle way to bring interest to a space. If you’ve recently got your mitts on my Metallic Leaf, consider how beautiful a field of flowers in gold, silver or copper would look glinting on your furniture! Meadow Flowers and Faux Bone Inlay Stencil are both now available worldwide but please always check with your local Stockist before making a trip. #AnnieSloan #ChalkPaint #AnnieSloanStencils #MeadowFlowers #MeadowFlowersStencil

  • Good evening, Chalk Paint® campers! Happy #StockistSunday. We’ll dive straight in because this Stockist sent such lovely photos I can’t imagine many of you will spend much time reading this caption! Today we’re visiting Louise at @dilly_dally_uk, a quaint and quirky creative oasis in Pocklington, York. Since becoming Chalk Paint® Stockists Dilly Dally have taken a second shop opposite their original location; the building was originally a cinema built in 1912 and now serves as a location for big furniture pieces and the two person painting workshops Louise and her team are currently running. Have a scroll through the photos for some covetable inspiration – and follow Louise’s advice and “don’t dilly dally” when it comes to snapping up her furniture, booking on a workshop with your own local Annie Sloan Stockist or opening the tip of Chalk Paint® you’ve got at home and finally starting the project you had in mind. I know there’s lots of you out there! #AnnieSloan #ChalkPaint #ShopLocal #ShopSmallBusinessesUK #ShopLocalYorkshire

  • My Canadian-Mexican friend, Daniel Cervantes of @othermanstreassure used a lot of different Chalk Paint® colours and techniques on this delightfully, charismatically aged piece. Chalk Paint® in French Linen serves as a base , over which Daniel blended Duck Egg Blue and Old White. He then added a wash of French Linen and sealed with White Chalk Paint® Wax to give that perfectly soft, authentically French look. Imitation Gold Transfer Leaf along that unusual carved frame to the drawers really makes the most of the structure and inherent personality here. Dark Chalk Paint® Wax protects and finishes. **CHEF’S KISS**. I love it, Daniel! Thanks for sharing. #AnnieSloan #ChalkPaint #FrenchLinen #OldWhite #AnnieSloanGoldLeaf.

  • I feel like this handsome contemporary sideboard is the living definition of “from drab to fab “! Transformation by @JustRestore using Chalk Paint® in Old White, Amsterdam Green and Imitation Gold Transfer Leaf. Top Tip: when you’re painting stripes and using tape for crisp edges, remove the tape before your paint is totally dry for best results. #AnnieSloan #ChalkPaint #AmsterdamGreen #OldWhite #AnnieSloanGoldLeaf

  • Chalk Paint® isn’t just for your furniture! Old White, Paris Grey, Duck Egg Blue, and Imitation Gold Loose Leaf here evoke the charm, glory and faded grandeur of Venetian Plaster Walls. This exquisitely tasteful yet high-octane look was achieved by applying textured Chalk Paint® (using some very high-tech tools – namely, a torn off strip of thick cardboard), adding splotches of Metallic Leaf where the sunlight hits and then coating the wall with Gloss Chalk Paint® Lacquer to give that egg-sheen shine we associate with Venetian decorative arts but also to protect the wall against sticky fingers and other wear and tear. Love it or loathe it??

  • @malphor painted the base of this chest in a Chalk Paint® ombre of Athenian Black and Amsterdam Green. The two entwined snakes were painted in Athenian Black and Aubusson Blue, then brought to lustrous life with diamonds and splodges of Imitation Gold and Imitation Silver Leaf to create those gorgeously gothic metallic snakeskins. Clear Chalk Paint® Wax to protect and finish. Ssseriously stunning work! #ChalkPaint #AnnieSloan #SupportLocal #AthenianBlack #AmsterdamGreen.
