Chalk Paint is the
latest must have Paint
for avid furniture
upcyclers.
The current fashion
of finding an unloved
piece of furniture and
giving it a stylish and
individual new look,
is what everybodys
talking about in the
world of Interiors.
Chalk Paint may be
thought of as a
relatively new
product, but it has
been around for
almost thirty years.
Developed by Annie
herself in 1990, with
Annies keen eye for
design and her fine
art background. She
understood colour
and was looking for a
paint that would not
only dry quickly, but
had the stickability to
be applied to virtually
any surface with

minimum preparation
or fuss. Her paint has
this unique ability,
making it labour saving
with no need
to sand or prime.

Not only does it give

you almost instant
results, it can be used
indoors and outdoors
alike. Its so versatile
it can be used as a
wash on new wood by
adding a little water
or left to thicken in
the tin to create lots
of texture, giving your
furniture the look of
aged old leather.

Amazing really? No
murky browns or
greys, but new vibrant
colours. As Annie
doesnt use vast
amounts of black
pigment in her Chalk
Paint, this gives
the painter greater
opportunit to mix and
experiment, making
striking or muted
colours.

It can also be painted

to give a smooth
modern look or by
applying a dark brown
wax, giving your
furniture an old rustic
finish.The Chalk Paint
pallette is limited to
35 colours, giving the
painter the creative
ability to mix over a
thousand individual
shades of colour.

This Paint really can

give you so many varied
finishes... From painting
leather, terracotta,
metal and glass to
dyeing fabric... as Annie
has said herself, Its
a little pot of magic
with endless possibities.
