WHITE

WASH
If you’d like to recreate
the slapdash effect of a
mist coat, Annie Sloan
has the solution. First, paint your
walls in a warm earthy tone to
create a base colour. Once this has
dried, apply a lighter, neutral shade
in random areas. While this coat is
still wet, use a scrunched-up piece
of newspaper to create rough
patches. Next, apply additional
layers in a lighter shade that has
been watered down, allowing the
base shades to show through.
Finish with Matt Chalk Paint Lacquer
to make it water resistant.

Wall painted with Annie
Sloan Chalk Paint in
Scandinavian Pink,
Honfleur and Old White,
all £19.95 per litre, and
finished with Matt Chalk
Paint Lacquer, £21.95.
