Before & After: Graphite Highboy Dresser

December 19, 2017 Leave a Comment

This week’s Before & After comes courtesy of  Sarah a Stylish Patina customer and a former spray paint addict. After trying out chalk paint for the first time, she’s been converted! Check out this beautiful dresser (the fourth piece she’s done with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint!)

Like so many of us, Sarah had a piece of furniture that ad been in the family (it was her dad’s child hood dresser!) that was in beautiful condition, but maybe wasn’t quite her style. But thanks to a couple coats of graphite paint, she made it her own!

Sarah went for more of a clean and contemporary look with this piece, skipping distressing and opting for a full coverage paint job in graphite. She sealed it with clear wax to preserve her hard work. Doesn’t it look great?


Did you know that Annie Sloan created her paint line so that most projects could be completed within a day? That means your projects don’t have to drag out across multiple weekend or hang over your head.

Come grab your supplies or buy them online here and then send us your Before & Afters for a chance to be featured!

Happy Painting!

Color Mixing w/Chalk Paint

March 29, 2016 Leave a Comment

We are getting back to colorful Monday’s / mixology Monday here at SP. This week on Monday Heather and I were in the warehouse working on some furniture. We just got this MASSIVE French hutch in and were itching to transform it.  I bought it at an auction and loved it then when it got in the warehouse we realized she had only 3 legs up front not 4!  She is still super sturdy and beautiful so we decided to give her a makeover.

Napoleonic blue chalk paint® has been REALLY popular the last couple of weeks so originally I thought we would paint her in that to match a fun coastal dining set we have but then I just couldn’t help wanting to mix something special up for her.  One of my fav mixes is Florence + Aubusson chalk paint so I decided to have Heather mix Napoleonic + Florence and see what we thought…….LOVE! (yes that is our table in the back of the warehouse with paint splatter!  You can tell we mix a lot of paint).
