More About Chalk Paint Annie Sloan developed Chalk Paint because she needed a paint with many uses from “act- ing like limewash to looking like old painted furniture.” She wanted a good range of color that could also be extended by users. This paint is flexible and very easy to work with. It is awesome for furniture, needs no prim- ing, has extremely low VOCs, can cover any surface inside or out, can be diluted to make a wash, can be adapted to any color, and can be used as an impasto.

Hey furniture fanatics! We’re looking for step-by-step refinishing tutorials on projects big and small for our magazine and website.
