with Annie Sloan chalk paint. Oh My.
Thankyou Nicky of The Vintage Magpie (who just happens to be my neighbour, so I could pop over to hers for a quick sneak peek) for putting me on to this amaaaazing stuff!
Seriously, if you want to paint some furniture, this is the stuff. We are talking No Prep. That’s right, just whack it on – that’s my kind of paint. I tell you, nothing is safe around here.
this is ‘Country Grey’, a sort of putty colour…..
one end of the kitchen was always so gloomy with a lot of dark wood.
I was very hesitant about painting it as it seemed a shame to , well, cover the wood, but I’m so glad I did….
it’s transformed the room. It’s never going to be a light space but it’s much less like a cavern now.
even the badly stripped rocking chair got the treatment!
interesting point, your article is great!! well done!!

Oh, I'm so with you on Annie Sloane. She is the original and the best. Glad you reminded me of that one.
I love the furniture. Will have to have a good look round my house to find suitable dark depressing items to paint!

I've just ordered some too after seeing Nicky use it! The colour you chose looks lovely, I've been earmaring furniture for a makeover - will need gallons of paint at this rate!
