Annie Sloan: Have a Purple Patch

Colour trends come and go but Annie Sloan is here to stay with beautiful Chalk Paint colour to inspire your next interior design.

Take as example this jaw-dropping piece of furniture painted in Chalk Paint® in Rodmell! Dare To Be Vintage are a team from Boston, Massachusetts comprising of painter Toni, her partner Sandra, and her mother. Toni used Rodmell, Emile and a saltwash to add texture here (see image below). She accented with Dark Silver Gilding Wax and Dark Chalk Paint® Wax before using Clear Wax all over to finish and protect. Beautiful in a vibrant splash of purple!

For the Love of Rod(mell)

Rodmell is a cool-toned damson purple, inspired by the painterly washes of twilight shades on the Studio walls at Charleston Farmhouse. Previously only available in a Project Pot size as part of a Decorative Paint Set including Greek Blue and Original, Rodmell (and its sibling shades from the Charleston Collection; Firle and Tilton) has been so successful that Annie Sloan had to upgrade it to a fully fledged, official member of the Chalk Paint® palette. Head to your local Annie Sloan Stockist to get your hands on a tin!

From dream houses to fairytale cabinets! This gothic beauty (below) in contrasting Chalk Paint® colours of Amsterdam Green and Burgundy is the positively picturesque penultimate piece from Painter in Residence, Girl In Blue Designs. She’s provided a step by step to creating this shadowed, nuanced piece which you can find over Annie Sloan’s Inspiration Page (alongside lots of other pieces to get your creative juices pumping!).
