Some Before/After Projects with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint

Pin It
We have been using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint for a year now and have been selling it in our store for about 5 months.
 
We are hooked.
This paint is so easy to use and the projects turn out so beautiful.
 
BEFORE

This big chest had such great lines and was not TOO bad the way it was, but it was pretty dirty looking and just needed a new look.
 
We had beautiful details to work with.
 
AFTER
All fresh and ready to go with a fresh coat of
 Annie Sloan Chalk Paint - Coco with Clear and Dark Wax.

I love the patina that the Dark Wax gives.

AFTER
We finished this lady off with
Annie Sloan Chalk Paint - Antoinette with Clear and Dark Wax.

AFTER
Transformed with
Annie Sloan Chalk Paint - French Linen with Clear and Dark Wax.
