since I have posted anything on my Blog and I am so excited to get started again!
There are a lot of things going on at the Shoppe and so much to write about.
Let's talk Chalk Paint®!
Before ~
After ~
I painted Old White Chalk Paint® right on the stained Armoire, no stripping or sanding!
For the second coat I used Old Ochre.
Then a quick coat of Annie Sloan Clear Wax.
That's it! So Quick and Easy!
This Armoire is available to purchase ~ $495.

I have had this Armoire for some time now and just haven't been able to decide what I needed to do with it.
My first thought was to paint it using Old White Chalk Paint® as a wash.
I got the paint on and a Clear Coat of Wax,
BUT, . . .
it just didn't do anything for me.
So, I decided to add some Coco to the door and give it a little more warmth with some Dark Wax.
I'm still not for sure this is the look I am going for!
What do you think?
I'm going to look at it for a couple of days, put a few things in it and just see if I get more attached to it.
If not,
it will get another fresh coat of Chalk Paint® and we'll try again!
HAVE A GREAT DAY!

WHAT IS CHALK PAINT®?
When Annie Sloan developed her unique decorative paint Chalk Paint® over 20 years ago, she revolutionized decorative painting.
Frustrated with the lack of paint options available at the time, she created her signature paint - with its remarkable versatility and ease of use - for the DIY enthusiast as well as the expert faux finisher.
"There's no need for tiresome priming and sanding - you can get straight to the fun bit!" _ Annie Sloan
With Chalk Paint® you get a velvety matt finish. And if you add Annie Sloan Soft Wax, you can achieve a subtle sheen as well as protection and durability.
Chalk Paint® sticks to just about any surface . . .
wood, concrete, metal, matt plastic, earthenware and much more, inside and outside the home. It dries fast too, so you can add second or third coats quickly, and start enjoying your revitalized walls, floors and furniture sooner.
Annie runs her business, Annie Sloan Interiors, out of Oxford, England with her husband David and a team of bright, young people who look after global branding, marketing, PR, European distribution, and a whole swathe of activities.
Oxford has been Annie's base for over 20 years and is where she first developed Chalk Paint®. She has run and owned a shop there since 2000 and continues to use the studio at the back of her store as a space for developing her techniques and products.
Annie has taken great personal care in developing each of her products and she's always working on something new in her studio.
By leading the decorative painting revolution over the last 20 years, Annie Sloan has become perhaps the world's most respected expert in decorative paint, colors, and techniques.
Alongside her unique and versatile decorative paint, Chalk Paint®, Annie has inspired generations with her accessible, lively, and creative approach to getting great results.
I am so Excited to say,
I have been accepted as one of Annie's Stockist!
