120ml Old Violet Chalk Paint®

Annie Sloan Old Violet Chalk Paint® is a deep but soft purple. Its lavender tones with a hint of blue can make a room feel wonderfully calm when paired with neutrals such as Paris Grey. However, if you want to have a pop of colour in your room, pair this chalk paint colour with red accents, for a lovely bohemian look.

A 120 ml project pot is enough to update a bedside cabinet or chair. For larger items you will need the 1 litre tin.

Don’t forget to finish with lashings of Clear Wax or alternatively Chalk Paint Lacquer in Matt or Gloss to protect your masterpiece.

I use the Chalk Paint Bristle Brush for my pieces of furniture, this allows me to build up colour quickly, and will give me a textured finish if I am wanting it.

Alternatively, use one of Annie Sloan Flat Brushes for a smoother, contemporary finish.
