Reimagined Monday: Annie Sloan Paints Chair Fabric on Hallmark TV (video)

It's Reimagined Monday and today we have an extra-special Part Two for you!

Some folks think it may be 'too good to be true' when we start talking excitedly about painting, stencilling and dying fabric, upholstery and leather with  Chalk Paint™ by Annie Sloan -- 'cause really, what other product can you paint everything else with and do this too?

So to give you a bit of a peek into the how-tos, here is Annie Sloan using her paint on linen chairs during a second recent interview on Hallmark's Home and Family show. They loved her so much, they invited her back after her previous interview!

Hope you enjoy this as much as we do!



While you're watching, we'll likely be off dying some fabric with Chalk Paint™.  For details on this super-easy technique, check out Annie's book, "Colour Recipes for Painted Furniture and More", now available at the boutique.


P.S.  Don't forget that this weekend is the Highlands Street Festival (Sunday, June 2nd).  This year we have over 100 vendors, musicians, activities and fabulous foodstuffs in the shops and on the streets in Highlands.  Watch our blog starting tomorrow for what Apple Box Boutique has in-store for you!

Reimagined Monday: Featuring Annie Sloan and (real) Chalk Paint™

Today is a very special Reimagined Monday.  Annie Sloan, respected decorative painter and creator of authentic Chalk Paint™, was featured on Universal Studio's "Home and  Family",  demonstrating how to use this one-of-a-kind paint and talking about all the reasons we love it too.

Grab a cup of English tea (or your bevvie of choice!) and enjoy!



Annie's book, Colour Recipes for Painted Furniture, is now available at Apple Box Boutique along with her full line of Chalk Paint™, waxes, brushes, books, aprons and more.

Want to learn more? Register or get notified of upcoming Chalk Paint™ workshops.


In the meantime, it is a holiday here in Canada, For most of us, the arrival of this day means we can start planting our vegetable and flower gardens and put the long winter behind us. For the majority of Canadians, it also means a welcome long weekend.

The real deal?  This holiday is named after Queen Victoria, the British monarch who gave royal assent to Confederation. She was born on May 24, 1819 and enjoyed the longest reign in British history, ascending the throne in 1837 and ruling until 1901 -- a period of over 62 years!

At the Apple Box studio, we also celebrate it as an extra day to paint!  

 Have a fabulous Victoria Day
