Green and green should always be seen!
Sydney painter and interior decorator Angela Bunt has used a double green colour palette on this kitchen table and chair vignette.
For the upcycled chairs she has used Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan in Firle, a gorgeous limey green and one of the three colours that Annie launched as part of her Charleston collaboration. The sweet drop leaf table has then been painted using Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan in Amsterdam Green. ”The chairs were too stark when white, but I love the way these two greens complement each other. They are also good kitchen colours don’t you think?” We're green with envy!
Now's the time to transform your own furniture using Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan. Maybe you have a special piece you’ve been thinking about painting or some extra time on your hands. You can find an Annie Sloan Stockist near you at

Our Stockist Sunday takes us to Miranda, just south of the Sydney CBD near the lovely beach-side suburb of Cronulla, where Robyn Blackley is the proud owner of Robin's Nest Vintage.
Robyn has been a proud Annie Sloan Stockist for six years and opened the doors to her treasure-trove back in 2013. Before that, Robyn was a professional belly dancer for 10 years (don’t you love this?!)and prior to that, a successful florist.
Today, she brings these skills together in her light-filled shop, alongside a keen eye for beautiful old and new pieces for the home highlighted by stunning vignettes and shop displays. Some items are sourced from Europe with many found in Australia- everything is hand-picked and put together to delight and inspire beautiful interiors. “My style is a bit of a mix of coastal, romantic, faded glamour and travel-inspired. Nearly everything I own is preloved, handmade, revamped or antique.”
Robyn and her team love helping customers use Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan to create beautiful makeovers of their own and love sharing their successes and creations from workshops on the shop social media pages. “ I just love the memories associated with old treasure and I love that I can help people keep things that have memories and meaning to them. They can give them a fresh new look with Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan products and they love that it is so easy. I love seeing how they have then kept these memories alive."
When the weather is nice the shop often places charming furniture and large items out in front of the shop in an inviting outdoor front display. The shop has displays featuring neutrals with accents of colour, including its pretty signature robin’s egg blues and aqua. And the shop has a very active workshop program, teaching how-to techniques of furniture painting with Annie Sloan paint to delighted customers.
“New things are coming into the shop nearly every day. I recently acquired two beautiful antique buffets that I haven’t painted yet so stay tuned. It’s so easy to use Chalk Paint by Annie Sloan – may be the hardest part is choosing your colour as they are all so beautiful! Oxford Navy and Athenian Black have been really popular lately but being close to the coast the whites are my biggest sellers. I’m always happy to show customers the full range of colours and how best to mix them to create their own shade. We’re also happy to offer painting and styling tips.”
