French Linen

French Linen

from $16.00

A cool neutral khaki grey inspired by the bleached, deep-neutral colors of vintage French and Italian furniture. It works beautifully with golds and a range of rich and bright colors such as Emile and Emperor's Silk.

Please note that as a result of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint becoming a global product the formula has been slightly altered, resulting in a slightly softer palette of colors. Whereas colors previously were a bit brighter, you will notice a more mellow tone. This is in keeping with Annie's love of soft European tones with no harsh pigments. If you're unsure of how your chosen color may have been effected please do not hesitate to contact us, we are always available to assist you whether it is help with a color choice or a desired finish.

There will also be a change in packaging of the Chalk Paint® throughout 2019, this will impact all colors as the US becomes aligned globally.  What does this mean..?  Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan is sold worldwide: Australia, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Russia, South Africa and Spain!  The packaging of the paint will be transitioning so that all countries are aligned.  In the USA the 32 ounces (quart) containers will now be supplied in liters (approximately 2 ounces more!)  Meaning a bit more paint for you at the same low price of $34.95!!!   

 

Along with the changes in the size of the containers you will notice a lid change as well.  The Liter lids require a patient hand to open and close.  Be sure to use a paint can opener (which we include FREE with every order), being sure to work your way gently around the lid before lifting it open. Turning the can as you open 360 degrees will allow the lid to lift without denting it.

 

You will find that all colors in the new liters will be slightly thicker.  Keep these tips in mind as you start your project with the new version of Chalk Paint®

 

  1. A light touch with your brush is needed. The paint spreads much more easily so only a light touch with a brush is needed. No need to scrub the paint on. Using an Annie Sloan paint brush is important as the brush is designed for the consistency of the paint and allows for a more even finish.

  2. Use a spray bottle (filled with water). Spritz as you move along, this allows for nice even dispersion of paint along a long linear surface area or when you want less texture. 

  3. We love using the spray bottle with the Sanding Pads. This distresses your paint beautifully, looking more like well-worn furniture. It also cuts down on any dust you might otherwise have as a result of sand paper.
