A word on Annie Sloan from ELLE DECORATION:

"Annie Sloan has been a household name in interior design since 1990, when she invented her versatile Chalk Paint."

Annie Sloan’s brand of paint is different:

• It is not simply paint with chalk added to it.
• It is not chalkboard paint.
• It is not made by adding plaster of Paris or grout or even baking soda to an existing paint.

Chalk Paint® is the unique decorative paint Annie Sloan developed for furniture, floors and walls, drawing on a lifetime of research and experience in working with paint and colour. Chalk Paint® adheres to most surfaces. It’s the simple way to get creative!

A brief history of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®

Annie Sloan first developed her now famous furniture paint in 1990, and one little known fact is that not only was Old White her first colour, but it was also called “No.1”.

It wasn’t until Annie started to market her furniture paint, and started to work with creative and media agencies, that the colour names of her paints were born.

Chalk Paint® is Annie Sloan’s quick and easy way to get colourful. You can use it to paint furniture, floors, walls – even to dye fabric. You can paint it thickly for a textured finish or dilute it for a smooth finish – add even more water for a washed wood look or to create a stain.

When Annie first created Chalk Paint®, there was no paint available with the properties Annie was looking for, so she decided to develop her own. She came to choose the name “Chalk Paint” because it was suggestive of its very matt—almost chalky—finish.

So, it's here, Annie Sloan Athenian Black - order yours today!

Stay safe and take care,

Clare xx
