FRENCH TABLE with ANNIE SLOAN CHALK PAINT

I've talked about my 'finds' and my 'treasures'.  Below is a picture of a tired French table.  I found this on one of my hunting trips.  It was a little worse for wear but it spoke to me.  Seriously, I knew there was something beautiful just waiting to happen to this table. And I knew that the answer was Annie Sloan Chalk Paint


Now look at what a little Annie Sloan Paris Grey, Old White, a little distressing (using Clear and Dark wax) and some gold leaf will do!  Doesn't it look like it came out of some French Chateau?




This is also for sale at the store, Robyn Story Designs and Boutique.

  2. Kathy, thanks for your kind words! Sorry I didn't include the info, I will edit that to include the waxes, I did use both clear and dark. We have devoted an entire building to house our supply of paints and products, not to mention a warehouse we transformed into workshops and a room in our store for an EVERYTHING ANNIE room. We have an entire stock available so if you need anything please give us a call at the store or send us an email, we're always happy to help and will fill/ship your order ASAP. No one knows more than me how much fun it is to work with these paints and I'd be devastated if I didn't have product to play!! Thanks again, Robyn

  9. I swear that the personality comes out more when a piece is painted. This was beautiful before but with all the painting techniques done, the details are highlighted in a stunning way. This is a great look that is timeless. I am your newest follower.
