Bent on Life · Project Inspiration

Before.
After.
Completely yours.

Sometimes the best piece for your home is already sitting right in front of you. A little colour, a different finish and a fresh idea can completely change furniture you thought you had finished with. Drag across each project to reveal the transformation.

Don't replace it.
Reimagine it.

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™ gives old, tired or simply unloved furniture another chapter. These projects are here to inspire you to look at what you already own a little differently.

Project 01

The Dining Table Revival

A familiar piece can feel completely different once colour changes the way it sits within a room. Paint can bring softness, contrast or a stronger sense of character without losing the history of the piece itself.

A Cabinet With Character

Strong colour can turn a practical piece of furniture into the focal point of the room. Greens in particular can feel grounded, timeless and surprisingly easy to live with.

The Power of One Bold Colour

A room doesn't need to be completely redesigned to feel new. Sometimes one painted piece introduces enough colour and personality to change everything around it.

Perfect for Bed frames, cabinets, tables and statement furniture
Find Your Colour
Your transformation

Every after
starts somewhere.

You don't need to know exactly how the finished piece will look before you begin. Start with the furniture, choose a colour and allow the project to evolve from there.

01 Choose The Piece

Look again at furniture you already own or find something with good shape and potential.

02 Choose The Colour

Decide whether the piece should blend beautifully or become the statement in the room.

03 Choose The Technique

Smooth, textured, layered or aged — the application helps determine the personality of the finished piece.

04 Protect & Enjoy

Finish the project using the appropriate Annie Sloan Wax or Lacquer and give the piece its new place in your home.

“The most beautiful transformation might already be sitting in your home.”
