Annie Sloan: The Perfect Christmas Present

Christmas Time! Reds! Greens! GOLD! Roaring log fires and the smell of mulling spices. These are some of our favourite things, not forgetting those beautiful Christmas wreaths on the front doors. Is there any decoration quite so heartwarmingly wholesome?

Let”s take a look at this beauty – a gorgeous front door – painted in Chalk Paint® in Amsterdam Green and protected with Matt Chalk Paint® Lacquer – from simply smart to superbly splendid!

Placed on your front door for your community to enjoy as much as you and your family, the humble wreath takes pride of place at Christmas. You could purchase a wreath but if ever there was a year to get stuck in and make your own, it’s this year!

Twist foliage around a circular wire shape – use whatever you have in the garden for optimal seasonal integral or #SupportLocal and visit your local florist to stock up on supplies! Then, use Annie Sloan’s Metallic Gilding Waxes to add some light-reflecting highlights that’ll melt the coldest of hearts and bring smiles to all this yule. Check with your local Stockist, and fast – because these beauties make fabulous stocking fillings too and are always in high demand at this time of year.

Finally, a festive Facebook Live!

Click here to watch Annie Sloan demonstrating what she would call a “Beginner Stage 2” Chalk Paint® Technique. It’s certainly not an “intermediate level” – as you’ll see when you watch her applying with her hair dryer! Here Annie is using her Craqueleur alongside a selection of different waxes (including those utterly divine, absolutely useful, beautifully foolproof, Gilding Waxes we mentioned earlier). You’ll also have a sneak peek at the latest Annie Sloan product release which you might be surprised to hear she’s wearing throughout the video – and no, it’s not her socks!
