I have long been a fan of Chalk Paint ™ by Annie Sloan. Since last March, when I first got my hands on some Chalk Paint™, I have made over many pieces of furniture.
This dresser went from mahogany stain to a combination of Old White and Napoleonic Blue
This pine bookcase got a makeover with my favourite colour – Pure White.
and this red pedestal table is now also pure white.
Along with sideboards, ladders, hooks and framing matts. You might say I have a bit of a Chalk Paint™ obsession.
Chalk Paint™ is so easy to use as you do not need to sand and prime first. The fact that I continue to use chalk paint for my furniture makeovers speaks volumes about how much I enjoy using this paint.

My warehouse shelving that displays my shop stock and also my metal/wooden bed frame.
My ultimate Chalk paint by Annie Sloan makeover project, would be to give my tired 20+ year old dark brown glass cabinet a French Provincial facelift. I am sure I will be bitten by the ‘Annie Sloan paint bug’ and end up renovating my 80 year old dining chairs, bedside cabinets – all currently brown wood.
I have emailed you a ‘before’ photo of the furniture piece I’d love to transform. Fingers crossed, my name gets drawn out of the hat!!
My little girls wardrobe. I found this thing lit treasure online. I'm just waiting for the right inspiration to make It Annie Sloan awesome. I would love to win.
I have enjoyed painting some drawers in my son’s room with the vibrant Napoleonic Blue. However my ultimate Chalk Paint project would be to find a pretty sideboard or dresser to use as an entertainment unit. I imagine it a bright white to lighten up the room. I am still searching for the perfect piece but that’s half the fun!
I have an ancient maple bedroom set I’d love to refinish for our daughter
My dining table and 8 chairs! Currently all orangey timber, it will be a big job but will be so worth it. Annie Sloan Old White is my magic in a can <3
My bathroom cabinets!
we were just married and I have inherited some sturdy old brown furniture.. but the two pieces I am really going to enjoy re-creating… would be the beautiful ball and claw curvy display cabinet.. (very necessary as my prince charming is quite the hoarder of little cluttery objects)… and my mid century side board cabinet..with leopard head drawer knobs..
Rhonda Knott I wanted to enter this aswell, but in the T&C's is says "this competition is open to Australian residents only"
Thank you Simonne Shapiro, well that is really disappointing…. 🙁 … I didnt even think about the T&C's… i just assume that Annie Sloan would mean anywhere they sell her paint …
Just inherited an old upright dresser with a mirror & didnt want to strip it down, was thinking of painting & making it look a bit beachy to match my decor..Hope to win & do this exciting project! Thank you 🙂
I have an ancient maple bedroom suit I'd love to paint for our daughter.

Hi there!!
I would LOVE to decorate this solid 4 drawer sideboard I just bought for my beach house in Annie Sloan chalk paint because of the ease of using it.
Fingers crossed for me!
Cheers Kylie
I have a bedroom set I would like to re furbish…
I have a king size headboard and footboard in pine.
I recently acquired a cute dresser from a garage sale and need to give it some love. I would LOVE to use Annie Sloan Chalk paint to do it.
My old China cabinet and antique dresser please. They will add with the other pieces already done in white and duck egg mix..thank you. .. luv chalk paint!!!!
Rhonda Knott Sorry Rhonda. We are bound to the terms & conditions supplied by Annie Sloan Unfolded. This competition is to promote Annie Sloan chalk paint in Australia. Next time?
I purchased a second hand Kitchen nook & it was a brown colour with blue padding & now almost done & looks more like a beach theme kitchen nook with bench seating with white wood & blue cushions, hope to finish in the next couple of weeks. My only problem is with this paint is I keep starting other projects at the same time & keep running out of paint lol I have started on my tv unit, done bedside tables & stools. Need to stick with one project until finished. Loving the duck egg blue too. This is very addictive!!
I have a beautiful round kitchen table set that I would love to refinish!
I would need a lot of pint but I would love to take on the kitchen in our little holiday cottage, presently 3 different cupboards in one kitchen! All recycled.
hi Kylie, I love the pine bookcase in pure white that you did’just a beautiful makeover but must have been a huge amount of coats. I am looking forward to painting my mother’s chest of drawers that I had as a little girl and now is in my daughter’s room. I have had it sitting for two years under cover outside after my mum died and i was looking for a spot for it and so it really needs a repaint!
great giveaway

I’d love to makeover the old girls dresser I received from my parents, into a dresser fit for a princess (i.e. my beautiful little daughter)
I would love to repaint my old bookcase from varnished pine to a beautiful old white to match in with our house. I really don’t want to part with my bookcase but it clashes with everything!
My dad's old wooden school chairs. They need a new coat of chalk paint to hide the years of abuse they have suffered!
Some “council cleanup” wooden chairs…currently bespeckled with colour paint – will look perfect in pastel blue on the verandah
We used to live in a 100-year old Queenslander so our furniture is rustic timber. In our new home it looks awful, and I'm busting to paint it all white. I particularly like the pure white you painted the red pedestal table in – exactly the look I want.
There's something funny happening with the comments section below… It says "Slow down, you are posting too fast" when I hit submit. 🙁
My home office desk is an OLD BARRISTER'S DESK… Fabulously wide and long, but dark, badly stained and scratched.
A "Chalk paint™ by Annie Sloan" makeover in PURE WHITE would produce a fantastic workspace for my feminine duck-egg blue room!
I would love to redo our kitchen buffet, we purchased it second hand on craigslist because we loved all the storage but it has been beat up, I think it would look gorgeous with a coat of Chalk Paint.
