Annie Sloan Antibes Green is an alarming shade of green,
and one I thought might work just right on the coffee table in the family room.
Tobey sits under the table that has been painted with Anitbes Green (on the top).
I used some Valspar paint in an ocean blue color I had for the legs.
No wax yet~just unvarnished bright Antibes Green.
The rug from company C has met it's match!
I wanted it to look a little less neon, so I added a coat of dark wax.
All finished~I waxed the blue legs too.
The Annie Sloan paint chart shows the colors, and the green is the brightest by far.
I wanted to share some other projects from blogland done in this bright green

ReplyDeleteGood Morning Amy Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful is this color, does it say LOVE or what? Oh I love it with your rug, it just makes it pop.
You did an awesome job. I have seen a lot of this chalk paint of late, but have not tried it. You have encouraged me to give it a try as well. In the Fall when everything cools off a little. I have a couple of pieces I would like to try. It is so darn hot here in the Phoenix desert right now. The garage stays about 120 degrees most of the time. Patio about 115.

ReplyDeleteHi Amy,
ReplyDeleteI didn't like the green until I saw it with the dark wax treatment. Now I love it!
I used chalkpaint for the first time. The jury is still out on how I feel about it. I'm not sure it's much better than any other paint and it's pricey. I'm still workin on it. I plan to do a post in a few days about my experience.
hugs

Love this color Amy it is so happy!
ReplyDeleteEverytime I see it I smile.
Have a great week!

Love that green! It's perfect with your Company C rug!
ReplyDeleteI've used Antibes Green on several projects and I think it's a great color! I love your green table with the rug ~ It just pulls the color out so nicely!
ReplyDeleteHi Amy - wow that green looks great! Looks great next to the brown leather couch.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to finally find Annie's chalk paint. I bought two colors yesterday, Louis Blue and Paris Grey. The lady selling it was offering classes but I'm hoping I don't need it. Any special tips I need to know in painting furniture?

I love the contrast with the brightly colored rug and the brown leather! I do like it much better with the dark wax!~Hugs, Patti
ReplyDeleteOh.. that piece looks great against all those luscious leathers! I really need to get some of this in house and try it myself...
ReplyDeleteDonna
I LOVE it. I'm too chicken to try those brights in my house, but I love it with the Company C rug!
ReplyDeleteStacy
Wow, I have to say, I ne er cared for AS's green, but I love what you've done with it! I may be brave enough now to give it a try :)
ReplyDeleteohhhh I'm loving the color, so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteXO
I like!
ReplyDeleteLooks great & thanks for featuring mine...
ReplyDeleteLovely Amy...and it looks great in your room.
ReplyDeleteI love it when chalk paint newbies say they just used it and they are not sure if they like it.
They always seem to end up loving it! You really cannot even put it in the same category as latex...you just can't.
Looking forward to your next project.
BTY...thanks so much for introducing me to Betsy Speert...she is wonderful and sassy.

They have so many great colors it is hard to choose. I wish I had a store here where I can see them in person before choosing. So hard on line to tell the true color. I do like that green for a pop of color.
ReplyDeleteI just added a picture with the lamp in my post. I thought I had that one in there already. I have shown it before and am sure you have seen it.
I just ordered Paris Gray. I am thinking of painting the hutch in my dining room, but not sure the mr. is going to go for that. I may paint my bed with it, too.
Very pretty with the dark wax. Love the dresser too!
ReplyDeleteil tuo verde è così originale e talmente chic!E' il colore della natura viva che trasmette pace e tranquillità,dentro ogni casa dovrebbe esserci un angolo tutto verde dove rilassarsi! complimenti!! Anna.
