Annie Sloan Paint: Now Stocked

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint

We are extremely pleased to announce that LASSCO is now a stockist of Annie Sloan paint. We have greatly enjoyed using her fabulous Chalk Paint product in many applications in the past – whether for restorations or room sets. Our customers already know the paint well – it is always being discussed in the shop. For us to supply it here is therefore a natural fit. It has started selling as soon as it came out of the boxes last week.

Annie Sloan first mixed her paint exactly 25years ago, only a few miles away from LASSCO Three Pigeons, in Oxford. “Chalk Paint” is a name Annie has Trademarked and it is sold and enjoyed worldwide. With a dense matt finish, it goes on with a thick, silky application and often needs no pre-preparation. It can be mixed or watered-down prior, it can be rubbed down after and then should be waxed. It is tough, versatile, eco-friendly and, with a characterful Chalk Paint finish, has long been a favourite of interior designers. There is a beautiful range of colours to choose from and “New!” much of the range is now available as “Wall Paint” – specially mixed for interiors, no need to wax after, it gives beautiful results.

Visitors to Annie Sloan’s 25th Anniversary celebrations – her worldwide stockists flew in for the event last week – have been admiring architectural salvage supplied by LASSCO and utilised as a fantastic installation at the Annie Sloan headquarters. The “Wall of Doodads” was brought together from interesting off-cuts and curious architectural details found at LASSCO Three Pigeons. We laid it out as a collage on our warehouse floor, Annie cunningly re-worked it, composed it and worked out an innovative hanging system on her warehouse stair well.
