This week for #StockistSunday I just have to shout about Le Monde Home in Auckland, New Zealand. I recently had the opportunity to visit their shop for myself when we hosted a book signing, meet and greet there. It was towards the end of my mammoth, month long tour of America, Australia and New Zealand and I’m so glad I extended my trip to allow for the visit! Scroll through the gallery for photographs of my trip, where I met my lovely NZ Stockists, Chalk Paint® customers and enthusiasts, and a very special little girl who brought something rather unusual for me to sign (significantly larger than the usual books). @lemondehome #AnnieSloan #ChalkPaint #AnnieSloanNewZealand #AnnieSloanStockist #NewZealand #ChalkPaintNewZealand #Auckland
It’s been a rollercoaster ride of a year, during which I’ve hosted Workshops across the globe. This November and December, I’m back on home turf and I couldn’t be more excited. I’ll be hosting two workshops in London at the @heals_furniture building on Tottenham Court Road. The first will be on November 22nd and the second on December 13th. . Have a day out on Oxford Street stocking up on Christmas presents for your loved ones – and treat yourself while you’re at it! The Workshops will be inside the Heal’s building which is something of an architectural delight. Amongst the beautifully curated furniture and home accessories they have for sale, we’ll be exploring the history of the art of Interior Design through the work of the Charleston Group. I hope to instruct and inspire; providing practical tips as well as creative inspiration as each Workshop attendee brings to life their own Charleston inspired Keepsake Box. You’ll leave charged with creative confidence, armed with both the technical knowledge and the practical tools to transform your furniture at home. . Head to https://www.heals.com/painting-techniques-workshop-with-annie-sloan.html to purchase tickets via Heals. The price is only £59.95 and includes a complimentary Annie Sloan with Charleston Keepsake Box, RRP £59.95. You do the math! #AnnieSloan #ChalkPaint #AnnieSloanLondon #Heals (Photo by @sba.pr)
I just love this cabinet painted in Chalk Paint®. I don’t know who painted it so if you do, please let me know so I can tag and credit fully! What I do know is that Arles is the perfect golden pumpkin shade for this piece. Wouldn’t you agree? #AnnieSloan #ChalkPaint #Arles #whodunnit
Chalk Paint® is The Freedom To Be Creative. I’m a huge believer in the idea that creativity is a muscle that should be exercised as much as any other! Taking time to play, design and make helps my mood, and keeps my brain lively and engaged. Increasingly in modern life it’s hard to find the time or the opportunity to be creative, but with Chalk Paint® I can improve and upcycle my living space in a fun, completely individual way. I’ll never tire of that intense, delicious satisfaction which comes from creative accomplishment. . What is Chalk Paint® to you? . 1) Watch my #ChalkPaintIs Story in the highlights bar on my profile (it’s just up there 👆👆👆 under my bio) 2) Screenshot your favourite postcard option 3) Open your own Stories (by clicking the little camera icon to the top left of your screen on your Instagram homepage) 4) Write what Chalk Paint is to you in the blank space 5) Tag “@anniesloanhome” and #ChalkPaintIsAnnieSloan and “send to” your Stories!

This stunning Arles table was painted in Chalk Paint® by Milaine Lapointe Clavet for my Stockists @cbupcycle in New Brunswick, Canada. Milaine used the Annie Sloan Decorative Brush Set to apply this artistic floral design. #AnnieSloan #ChalkPaint #Arles
How about modern abstract design. This lovely little Chalk Paint® cupboard by @aubedesign has been beautified in creamy yellow shades of Arles and Pure. The abstract stripes emphasise the slightly unusual shape and the overall effect is contemporary but not cold. #AnnieSloan #ChalkPaint #Arles #OldWhite
Here the amazing @brepurposed has used a base of Chalk Paint® in Arles, an accent pop of Old White and an Aztec-style stencil to glorious effect! #AnnieSloan #ChalkPaint #Arles #OldWhite
My Painters in Residence @shedeleven really do love their sheds! 😹 (and why wouldn't you when you can make them look this good?!) Jemma told me that she “bought this well-loved old cubby for my kids. I wanted to make it into both something beautiful that I’d be happy to have in my garden, and something that celebrates one part of their heritage, [because] their father has a Ukrainian background”. The extreme level of detail on this piece is truly beautiful: Jemma carved four small lino squares of different flower designs and printed these in Old White to create the pattern on the outside of the playhouse. This repeat pattern is made up of an impressive 180 prints in total! And, if that’s not enough attention to detail – everything in this photo (including even the flowers!) has been painted with Chalk Paint®. Even the vegetables seen in the Old White basket to the side of the shed are the ingredients for a traditional stew that the childrens’ Ukranian grandmother makes for them.

Regular visitors to my page will be familiar with Ildiko of Restored4U big, blue pieces. Fun fact: Ildiko’s blue ombré wardrobe is my most-liked Instagram post…ever. 💙💙💙 I think this peachy chest of drawers in Arles and Scandinavian Pink is just as beautiful. I love how the Scandinavian Pink blushes through the Arles and how this contrasts with the details in Black Chalk Paint® Wax. Hit the “like” button if you agree!
It’s Stockist Sunday…and we’ve made it to the end of the alphabet! We’ve reached the letter Z, and our cross-continental odyssey wraps up in stunning Zambia. Statement Design Zambia are my Stockists in this central part of Africa. Linda Clemensson is the lady in charge (pictured – she’s the one painting the chair, not the one sitting inside the Chalk Paint® display cabinet ). Linda has a passion for interiors and colour, for individualising homes in the ever-expanding Zambian market and transforming tired 'hand-me' down pieces from a bygone era. She hosts workshops in wild and wonderful locations, including safari parks, and her next one will be at Victoria Falls! Victoria Falls is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, which is obviously a natural partner for Annie Sloan products which MANY people have described as “wonderful”! I love her painted furniture, her fun colour pops, and I can really see why the local wildlife is so enamoured – if you’re a fan too, be sure to like this post and follow Linda’s page! #StockistSunday #AnnieSloan #ChalkPaint #Zambia #Lusaka #FurniturePainting #ZebrasLoveItToo
Gather around and warm your hands on the glow emanating from this impressive dresser. @LeslieStocker used a fiery combination of Emperor’s Silk, Arles and Barcelona Orange to stunning effect. #AnnieSloan #ChalkPaint #EmperorsSilk #Arles #BarcelonaOrange #HotOrNot? 🔥
