"Transforming Creativity: Why Annie Sloan Chalk Paints are Our Favorite

Annie Sloan is a well-known British artist and decorative painter who has been working in the industry for over 40 years. She is famous for her innovative approach to furniture painting and her creation of the Chalk Paint® range of decorative paints.

Chalk Paint® is a unique type of paint that can be used on furniture, walls, floors, and more. It has a velvety finish that is both matte and smooth, and it can be applied to almost any surface without the need for priming or sanding. The Chalk Paint® range comes in over 40 colors and can be mixed together to create custom shades. It is also eco-friendly and non-toxic.

As Annie Sloan stockist,The Stilwell House offers workshops and training programs for people who want to learn how to use her innovative paint and techniques. These workshops cover everything from basic painting techniques to advanced finishes and effects. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced painter, Annie Sloan's workshops and training programs offer a fun and informative way to get hands-on experience with her innovative paint and techniques.

Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint® has become a staple in our crafting and interior decor projects. We love its versatility, which allows us to use it for a wide range of creative endeavors, including painting Chica Tiza’s hand painted wooden decor and trays, and just about every piece of furniture in our own home. Its unique velvety finish adds a touch of elegance to any piece, and the vibrant colors have lasted beautifully in our home.

One of the things we appreciate most about Chalk Paint® is its eco-friendly and non-toxic composition, allowing us to safely paint indoors without worrying about triggering our allergies. This feature is especially important to us because we love crafting and creating, but we also want to protect our health and the environment.

Another reason why we love Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint® is that it complements Iron Orchid Design creative supplies perfectly. We were thrilled to learn that Annie Sloan and Iron Orchid Design have partnered to collaborate together in new products. Their combined expertise and creativity have inspired us to take our crafting and decor projects to the next level.

Overall, we are grateful to have discovered Annie Sloan and her Chalk Paint® range. Her innovative approach to furniture painting and decorative paints has transformed the way we think about crafting and interior design. We can't wait to continue exploring and sharing what we've found with others who share our passion for art and creativity.


Lastly, we'd like to share the story behind our use of the ChicaTiza brand in addition to The Stilwell House. ChicaTiza, which translates to "Girl made of chalk," was born from our love of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. We initially featured Annie Sloan Chalk paint on our Etsy shop under the same name, where we continue to offer hand-painted laser-cut tiered trays, hand-cut cake risers, and lanterns. And now our entire line of products. As we transitioned into an online shop, we tried various paints but ultimately returned to Annie Sloan due to its versatility, commitment to high-quality, and ability to reflect our passion for creativity. We are thrilled to exclusively feature Annie Sloan Paints and share our passion with you!
