Annie, thank You very much, you are so inspiring! Your Chalk Paints are simply amazing and they made my house so cozy. Greetings from Poland!
Thank you so much!
I've mixed emulsion or chalk paint with clear (quick drying) internal varnish many times to give a paint wash effect. Very easy and hard wearing, it means you get the paint and the varnish/lacquer done in one coat. Great for floors and furniture if you want the aged effect.
Perfect timing! Thanks for this video...am going to try and do a wash on an old wood floor!! 💚 Natalie from the US!
Wonderful!
Really really handy information!!! Thanks so much Annie!!!
Is that a Cornishware mug! I love it! Love your top too. Thanks Annie for the video.
It is! Thank you so much. So glad you enjoyed the video.
Thanks for your reply, I am glad it doesnt have much obour, that's good enough for me,x
You’re welcome 😊
Who ever leaves a thumbs down on vids like this must be a very sad individual. She is only trying to help people.
I have been working on my floor boards for quite a while and am still struggling with filling between them it's good then cracks.They are soft pine from late 1800's.I did a topcoat of acrilic and ended up using liquid floor wax. So far it's held up the best .But will try laquor. Thanks Annie .
Your pine floorboards will always expand and contract, depending on the weather, so don't worry too much about the cracks ... they're part of the beauty and history of the floor!
Excellent idea - what about ceramic tiles? Can chalk paint be used on those?
Yes, I’d like to know this as well.
Came here to ask same question 😊
Great minds think alike! How could one paint a ceramic floor?
Hi everyone! YES you can. Exactly the same principles stand as on this video. If the tiles are particularly shiny you may want to give them a little sand for the Chalk Paint® to adhere better, but this is only optional. Please note, we don't recommend painting tiles in place with pooling water, such as bathroom floors and sink basins. - Amy W

Now I'm watching all your videos
Wonderful 😇
Can you use on concrete???
Dear Annie, is it absolutely necessary to apply wax or lacquer on the painted wood flooring? I would prefer not to, if possible. Thanks a lot! ❤️
Love it 🎉🥰
Hi Annie , thanks for the video . I love your chalk paint ❤. I have old wooden floors that have previously been painted . What stain blocker and brand do you recommen?
I find clear shellac to be the best stain blocker. I'm not loyal to any one particular brand, it depends on where you are in the world.
Can you paint vinyl?
Yes! Vinyl is a non-porous surface, so I would suggest you sand the surface very lightly. This will mean the Chalk Paint® and Chalk Paint® Lacquer will adhere to the surface better. I would still also do the test as in this video, as you don't know what's beneath the Vinyl. - Amy W
@@AnnieSloanHome thank you so much.
Can I paint laminate flooring with chalked paint?
Hi Eddy, yes you can! Laminate flooring is non-porous, so you will need to leave much more drying time between coats, and you may need an additional coat for coverage. Laminate flooring will be more susceptible to chipping, so I would suggest at least 3 coats of Lacquer for maximum protection. - Amy W
Hi there, looked in the website and it seem that most the chalk pains I looked at were out of stock. Do you know when these will be restocked? Really wanted to purchase some samples! Thanks!
We are making paint everyday but the demand for it during the COVID-19 pandemic has been very high. Be sure to check with your local Annie Sloan Stockist to see what they have in stock.
Is that only on wood floors? Would it work on concrete?
What are the steps to paint laminate planks floor? And what do I use?
First, clean your floors with a liquid 'TSP substitute' cleaner - this type of cleaner is safe for use and will allow the paint to better adhere to your laminate floor. Then paint, allowing each layer to dry completely before applying the next (don't rush this step!). Finally, seal your floor with two thin coats of our Chalk Paint® Lacquer for a durable and long lasting finish.
Annie Sloan do I have to sand the laminate floor?
Thanks for your reply, do I have to wear a mask?....
That is your personal choice.
What are the steps for painting my laminated wood kitchen cupboards, chalk paint, then lacquer, is that rite, that's what I am gonna do first I think?
Clean well, paint with Chalk Paint®, letting every layer dry twice as long, and then seal with Chalk Paint® Lacquer for a durable and long lasting finish.

Hi I want to use the Athenian Black, did you color block first though
Hello, it's unlikely you'll see the stain come through Athenian Black, but please test you floor first as all boards and stains are different.
Great idea but could you use it on laminate flooring...thanks
That depends on the type of laminate flooring, the look you are going for, and where it is used in the home. If you can be more specific, we can probably give you a more detailed answer.
Thanks...it's a cheap laminate flooring in a spare room that looks like it's had something dragged over it,thought painting it would be a better solution than to rip it up and replace it...thanks
@@AnnieSloanHome I have the same question... I have dark brown laminate wood floor in my master bedroom and want to paint it. It's in great condition. Does it need to be lightly sanded? I wanted a white paint with a moderately glossy finish.
Do you have any suggestions on how to strip Annie Sloan paint from furniture? Painted a dresser emperors silk several years ago but wanting to strip it to paint old white for my daughter!
You paint over it
@@lizettelopez827 I dont want to just paint over it since I am wanting to distress. Hence why I asked about suggestions on STRIPPING.
Hi Jordan, you could sand the piece down (although if it's a dresser this might be a lot of work) or you can get a water-based paint stripper from a hardware store which may make the job a little easier. I would start sanding and see how you get on! - Amy W
Can I paint an engineered hard wood floor without sanding?
Hello, we would advise doing a test area on your floor first, but sanding it will give it more area for the paint to stick to and may produce harder-wearing results. Hope this helps
Can I chalk paint my bathroom ,tiled floor, and have a shiny finish, please help????
You can! Make sure your floor is squeaky clean, paint with Chalk Paint®, and seal with our Gloss Chalk Paint® Lacquer.
I am from India.. How can I order your colour.. Is it available in amazon?? Please help
Hi Rashmirekha, we have an Indian distributor who's website is: artsynest.in/ . - Amy W

I have watched this video, from Jan 2019 with Astar's place...so many times, over the year, and I'm still scared to dive into my project! The two of you painted a beautiful chair. What if someone spills something on the chair, sweats profusely or otherwise wets the fabric, will it reactivate the paint and get on someone's clothes and skin? As for the wax on the fabric, will it make the fabric sticky or gummy, will it get on clothing or skin? That's what I'm concerned about...after painting how can I keep the item dry and permanent. Also, you mentioned curtains...what's the ratio of paint to water, and what's the next step after you have your stained drippy curtains... should they be laundered? Do you suggest heat setting them right after they get stained? Or, should they be washed in cool water in the washing machine and dried? I really need answers so I can move on...I'm frozen by fear of messing up....Thank you
There’s no need to be nervous - painting with Chalk Paint® is so easy and fun, even on fabrics. Allow me to share the following advice:
Many upholstery fabrics can be painted with Chalk Paint®, although the more natural fiber there is in the fabric the better it absorbs paint. It’s best to choose a chair or sofa that is not too soft and squishy as this makes it hard for the paint to be absorbed evenly and dry properly. Keep in mind that you will be staining or dyeing the fabric, so you won’t be able to make a dark fabric lighter.
Begin by diluting the paint with water so that it is liquid enough to be absorbed by the fibers. Adding the right amount of water to the paint is crucial - the paint needs to soak into the top layers of your upholstered piece, rather than all the way through - as you are trying to avoid thick paint that clogs up the pile and feels hard and crusty on drying. Also, misting your fabric with some water is important so that the paint mixture absorbs into the fibers. To make certain of the consistency of the paint and the absorbency of your fabric is a question of trial and error. Test a small patch on the back of your upholstered piece or the underside of a cushion first before committing to painting your entire piece. If you think the paint might still be too thick or your fabric is not wet enough, add some more water and use a scrubbing motion with the paintbrush to spread the paint around.
When you are satisfied with your test results, apply one or more coats of paint for even coverage. After applying the paint, let it dry completely; this might take a day or two depending on the fabric. Once dry, and depending on the weave, you may want to apply Clear Chalk Paint® Wax for a polished look and to give the fabric more of a leathery feel.
You can also paint directly on fabric. This is the best method to use on curtains, especially if you’re painting fine lines or stamping or stenciling patterns. Simply apply undiluted paint to the fabric using your preferred method and heat set with a clothes iron once the paint has dried.
To further answer some of your questions: You can protect your painted fabric from spills, profuse sweating, etc. with a spray-on fabric sealer such as ScotchGard. The wax will only feel sticky or gummy if you apply too much (not every fabric has to be waxed).
Why not test your techniques on a scrap piece of fabric similar to what is on your upholstered piece or used to make your curtains. Wax a portion. Spill water on it (or even wine!) to see what happens. Run it through the washing machine. Even sit on it for a period of time! This way you'll know for sure whether Chalk Paint® is a good solution for you.
Could this be done on a bare concrete floor?
Thanks for reaching out. Yes, our Chalk Paint® performs very well on bare concrete floors that are sound and clean.
Hello, what is a stain blocker?
That is an excellent question! When we talk about stain blockers (or sealers) for furniture painting, we are typically referring to shellac. Shellac can be used to help stop yellow or pink stains from tannins found in wood knots or open grains, or colors from non-permanent wood stains, from bleeding up through new paint layers; it seals areas that have been repaired with wood fillers or spackling or touched up with a stain pen; it seals surfaces that were exposed to nicotine and smoke, soot stains, water rings, coffee and tea stains, permanent markers, saline stains, etc.; it seals porous surfaces, such as raw wood, from absorbing too much paint; and it is also used to lock in unpleasant odors. Clear shellac is safe for use on items destined for child use.
I mean will it affect my lungs if I dont,,do u wear a mask? If u don't I won't, ide prefer, not to have to bother really, I am just worried how stronger it is when I take the lid off,?
Our Chalk Paint® has very little if any odor. Ask your Stockist to let you have a sniff test before making your purchase. I am not in a position to give you medical advice as far as affecting your lungs, but if you have health concerns, please ask your Stockist for a copy of the SDS for Chalk Paint®. You can always discuss its contents with your physician so that together you can make an informed decision.
Can use anything beside lacquer it's so toxic . Looking for a toxic free or very low
