Hello Annie Sloan

After reading dozens of inspirational blogs on interior decorating I have often come across the name Annie Sloan I didn't really take much notice as most of the blogs that I read are American. I don't know why I didn't look into this paint but it turned out that Annie Sloan is British, I was just under the impression it was an American brand paint "Stupid me". I looked up the nearest stockist in Manchester and did a bit of research on this paint, a friend had recently been using this paint on her shabby chic furniture I was intrigued. I was torn between the Old White and Antoinette I figured that if I was going to buy a higher end paint I might as well pick a colour rather than a neutral.

This paint is being used on my slim line dresser to make sure I knew what I was doing I tried it out on my plate rack, its been bare for all these years and is the only thing in house which I have not let my brush loose on. I also purchased the soft wax along with the dark wax I cant tell you how excited I am to renovate the second hand dresser. 

Poor quality of a photo but I am sure you get the idea.

This was with 2 coats of paint

AFTER
I mixed it up a bit with Annie Sloan's clear and dark wax and distressed in areas.

I think the Cath Kidston plates look so pretty in contrast with the Antoinette.

I love this photo it really shows how naturally distressed it really looks.

I love Annie Sloan and look forward to painting the dresser today it is totally fool proof and a little goes a long way.
