Annie Sloan invented the revolutionary furniture paint, Chalk Paint®, in 1990. Now known, and loved, by everyone from DIY diehards to weekend crafters around the world, Annie is widely considered one of the world’s leading authorities in paint, colour and style.

A high point of Annie’s career was when she was approached by Charleston Farmhouse to collaborate on 3 new Chalk Paint® colours, inspired by the property. Charleston Farmhouse is an historic living museum to the decorative arts, nestled deep in the Sussex countryside. In 1916 Charleston became the home of Bloomsbury group artists Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant.  Over the next 50 years, with the help of their friends Virginia Woolf, EM Forster, Roger Fry, and many more they transformed Charleston from an unremarkable seventeenth century farmhouse into a masterpiece of interior design and modernist experimentation.

Annie is offering the Charleston Keepsake kit to new subscribers to Selvedge Magazine. The perfect introduction to Chalk Paint®, upcycling, and the decorative arts movement, this box includes everything you need to begin your own Chalk Paint® journey. Experiment with designs on the wooden box itself or use the Chalk Paint® supplies on photo frames, lamp shades, radiators, plant pots and mirrors around your home!

Each kit includes:

• Firle: a fresh, zesty and crisp green.
• Rodmell: a dusty, damson purple.
• Tilton: a deep, bright mustard
• Two neutral Chalk Paint® colours: Original and Graphite.
• 120ml project pot of Clear Chalk Paint® Wax
• a waxing cloth
• 1 x Large Round Detail Brush
• 1 x Large Flat Detail Brush
• And an inspiration guide. This is plenty of material to paint the box in a design of your own, and more!

The box measures at 178 x 239 x 94 mm.

RRP £59.95.
