Chalk Paint
Annie Sloan invented her revolutionary furniture paint, Chalk Paint™, in 1990 and hasn’t stopped refining and improving her formula since. She is widely considered one of the world’s leading authorities in paint, colour and style.
The invention of Chalk Paint™ resulted from Annie’s need for a paint that could be used to achieve endless decorative effects – and quickly. Chalk Paint™ satisfies that brief perfectly, as it can be applied to wood, glass, metal, brick and even laminate, left to dry, and then waxed within one day. This helped to accommodate for Annie’s busy lifestyle as a working mother to three boys.
In 2021, Annie introduced her Wall Paint. Following years of research, extensive trials and independent testing she’s perfected the formula. Combining premium pigments with Annie’s in-depth knowledge of the history of interiors and the practicality of an easy to use, durable, wipe-clean, finish means that Wall Paint by Annie Sloan offers all your walls could ask for and more.

PAINTING WITH CHALK PAINT
How to Paint Kitchen Cabinets With Chalk Paint™
Annie’s high standards and hard-earned experience as a furniture painter, inventor, and businesswoman ensure that Chalk Paint™ remains the best way to transform your furniture and your home. Annie uses Chalk Paint™ on a daily basis and her exacting requirements guarantee an industry-leading standard.
This is probably the biggest question we get asked in the store, "Can I paint by kitchen cabinets with Chalk Paint™?" The answer is a resounding YES! The unique formulation of Chalk Paint™ decorative paint by Annie Sloan enables you to bring new life to your tired kitchen cabinets with no sanding, or priming!
Here's how:
- The first step is to give your cabinets a thorough cleaning with a strong cleaner like TSP. While you don’t need to sand or prime, you do need to remove the greasy, dusty residue that builds up in our kitchens.
- After they are completely clean and dry, you’ll need to use at least two coats of paint, possibly doing a very light sanding in between the coats. This depends on how much you’d like to see brush strokes.
- Then you’ll need to protect the surface with two or even three coats of Soft Wax to seal it. Annie’s Soft Wax is water repellant and she recommends that you refresh the surface every so often with a new coat of wax for continues protections.
Annie does recommend that in high-use areas such as the cutlery drawer, you may want to give the area a sanding and prime it to increase its wearability. It's also important to note that the less shine on surface prior to painting, the better Chalk Paint™ will adhere.
