Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, what do you think, it it worth the hype ?

I'm sure you have all heard of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, it's all over the WWW, everyone is talking about it on all the painting blogs or designer blogs. Miss Mustard Seed, painter of reinventing furniture with a few swipes of paint ravs about it and her pieces look fabulous. {she is also going to be coming out with her own line of milk paint} yippee skippy! I'm sure it will be a fabulous painting product too. For a few months I have been wanting to try ASCP out. They have classes in some of the stores that sell her paint. I have yet to do that because my schedule will not allow it so far but I figure with some online tutorial from Miss Mustard seed I can tackle it and I have a perfect guinea pig...Remember this table?

I think this would be the perfect specimen to try out on..................

AnnieSloanChalkPaint....it is sitting right now in the garage loaded down with stuff crap because the farm table is being used for our dining room table.

 Which I like inside but I like it outside too...

But as the weather starts to warm up I LOVE to eat outside...just LOVE it, nothing is more relaxing than eating a Barbecue dinner with fresh garden salad and drinking wine under the ceiling of stars.  So out it will go....but before I take her out I have to replace it with the round pedestal table and it needs a paint job, so why not try on ASCP? But what color?  There is so many...I really need your help...Here is my dining room...when we first moved in...a year ago...

Without the tables in it, the rocking chair has been moved to the family room.  Now to pick a paint color......

As a proud stockist of Annie's fabulous chalk paint here in Cardiff, South Wales, UK I highly recommend Country Grey with a little dark wax to give it an aged look. Beware, painting with ASCP is addictive. Good luck. I look forward to seeing the end result.
