annie sloan chalk paint side tableMy aunt recently gave me this little side table. No, it’s not cherry. It’s painted orange with large, chippy brushstrokes all over it. Pretty bad, right? Nothing a new coat of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Paris Grey couldn’t fix.

You can always take away a bit of the dark after you apply it with additional clear wax on top, but it’s necessary to have the clear wax layer on first. And see what beautiful results you get with the Paris Gray?

    Beautiful! I love the Paris Grey color, haven’t tried that one yet. I’ve kinds been afraid of the dark wax too, but your technique takes out the fear factor! 🙂

      You’ll love it Kim. A little intimidating, but putting on the clear wax first definitely helps!!
