Antoinette – Chalk Paint by Annie Sloan

Description

Annie Sloan Antoinette Chalk Paint is a soft, dusky pale pink inspired by decorative 18th-century French furniture and interiors. Its delicate pastel tone was inspired by the traditional use of red earth pigment mixed with white to create a soft pink shade.

Antoinette is a beautiful choice for furniture painting and upcycling when you want a gentle, elegant colour. Its soft appearance works particularly well on French-style furniture, bedside tables, dressing tables, cupboards and decorative pieces.
