my seeking a way to display samples of all of annie sloan’s 29 fabulous colors intersected directly with my friend chris garner‘s desire to try the chalk paint and to divest himself of some frames from the “scratch & dent” pile at his shop (from where, as you know, the most gorgeous frames and mirrors come.) it resulted in this happy situation on the walls at my studio:
now chalk paint shoppers can easily see, touch, and compare all the hues. there is lots of fabric-swatch-holding-up going on too, which is really fun to see.
(here is a “before” of my haul from his attic:)
and just wait until you see the gorgeous moldings chris is creating with some of annie’s colors, her waxes, and a little gilding. i can’t wait to show you.
