My beautiful bombe commode today on Annie Sloan Australia! (Annie Sloan products purchased at Gitanjali; validation, advice and encouragement to go crazy they were free from beautiful Helen).

What a totally edible piece of lusciousness created by Adelaide Painter, Emilio from I know stuff and things.

We love the way Emilio has combined this very traditional and beautiful sideboard with the exciting contrast of Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan in Firle.

Emilio purchased Chalk Paint® and Annie Sloan products from Gitanjali in Adelaide, SA where he also received some advice- see https://www.anniesloan.com/stockists/australasia/australia/gitanjali-2616

As stockist Helen Doody comments: “When Emilio first found the piece it had been painted completely in cream. The paint hid these beautiful marquetry drawer fronts. Emilio has restored the timber and brought it back to life with Annie Sloan Dark Wax (a great way to hide little scratches too) and framed the drawers with a cabinet of vivid Firle green. The marble top and sexy shape of the chest is now revealed. Modern? Traditional? It’s any ones opinion.... no disputing the result though. Just beautiful!”

Maybe you’re looking to bring an old piece like this alive in a new and refreshing way. You can find an Annie Sloan Stockist near you at https://www.anniesloan.com/stockists/ and they will be happy to offer advice, colour ideas or deliver to your door if not open.

Have you ever been robbed?
Yes.
So was William Morris. He designed the fabric I have used after watching thrushes stealing strawberries from the garden at his countryside home, . Even thieves can leave us beauty. @ My Aussie Wonderland

I painted this table and chairs back to life without realizing that doing so I was also giving me a new opportunity, a new life. With each brushstroke, with every movement when applying the wax lies, betrayals, pain and use disappeared. Love heals. Happy Boxing Day! (Special thanks and love to and for believing and trusting in me 😘😘)

Painted them back to life.

Whilst we’re all unwinding after a day of happy indulgence and family gatherings, it’s time to start thinking of new projects!

If you can take your eyes away from the wonderful tree, you’ll see a lovely project completed by painter Emilio from . Emilio arrived in Australia recently from Spain to live in Adelaide and has upcycled this table and chairs in time for a family Christmas banquet. He has used Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan in Graphite and then applied a gentle coat of Annie Sloan Black Wax to give the setting some extra lift. Whether you’re at home with friends or family, it’s a good time to look around and think about your next project using Annie Sloan- be it a simple project like this or something with a whole new twist.
