Annie Sloan Chalk paint..help needed!

Recommended Posts

Hi there

 

I have been recommended by a friend to use Annie Sloan chalk paint. They used it on furniture and it looks fab. I would like to paint my interior living room doors (cheap wooden ones). I've done a bit of research on the net and found mixed reviews and wondered if anyone on here has used it. Its quite expensive and I don't mind if it works well, but I would like an honest opinion.

 

Thanks so much in advance :)

Hi there, have painted various pieces of furniture following the tile grout recipe.

Sounds odd but really works. Used emulsion paint from wilko. Get a good wax to seal.

Good luck.

Hi there, I received a big jar of wax from my kind neighbour. It is just a furniture wax- sorry. If you look thru the second site I linked too, she has dome fab tutorials. I use pieces of a old clean curtain and cheap poundland brushes when using darker wax. Sorry- not terribly good at tutorials.

Good luck.
