Annie sloan in the house

This year was a big year for me and the oh because we bought our first house! The house dates back to 1870 and although there isn't anything major to do to the house there are certain things that will cost money that we have planned. So, in order to save money I decided to up cycle some of our furniture using annie sloan chalk paint. I LOVE this paint! You don't have to sand or prime your item even on varnished surfaces. This is a dresser that I bought for £60 on eBay.

The table is also painted in annie sloan Paris grey but I lost my before photos. The table was waxed with the annie sloan wax but I found it difficult to get an even result which would be fine for some projects but not what I wanted for these pieces. So with the dresser I varnished it with a clear matt varnish and I think it works really well.
