Scandinavian Pink – Chalk Paint by Annie Sloan

Description

Annie Sloan Scandinavian Pink Chalk Paint is a soft, dusky pink inspired by the traditional colours found on vintage Swedish furniture. Its muted character makes it a versatile choice for furniture painting, particularly when you want a softer pink with an aged, traditional appearance.

Scandinavian Pink works beautifully on its own, but it can also be layered with other Annie Sloan Chalk Paint colours to create depth and a naturally worn finish. It is particularly effective inside cupboards, drawers and armoires, where the dusky pink adds a subtle splash of colour.
