On to this week’s paint color highlights! Both greys – Annie Sloan Chalk Paint French Linen and Paris Grey.
French Linen is the perfect grey to use on any piece that you want to add depth to, or give a stately look. It is heavy as it is so dark but can be lifted with touches of gold or white. Since it is chalk paint, it’s easy to distress or layer to create a really aged look. I happen to like it on larger pieces that can handle the deep hue. It is really very beautiful.
The other grey is Paris Grey. It is a lighter, more subtle color and is very, very pretty. It has more blue to it and always looks fantastic with a wash. It is a great go-to color as it isn’t too heavy for smaller pieces and also looks great on larger pieces.
Grey or Gray? That is the question 🙂

Beautiful array of painted furniture. The first one with the gold highlights is my favorite. Is that French Linen or Paris Grey? With or without a wash/wax? Great work.

As always wonderful ideas and pictures for us to adore. Thank you for all the wonderful ideas you bring to us.. Do you ever take our pictures of projects we need to do and give advice on what you would do? I have a 1960-1980 piece that I want to bring into my living room and need advice.

I have used the Paris Grey on a few projects and I really like it. I haven’t used the French Linen as yet. It seems that grey can be a little difficult on some pieces and in some areas, however I believe you have made both grey’s work.

I love both colors equally. French Linen is stunning with Old White and Paris Grey with Pure white or with White Wax. All the pieces you’ve done in these colors are stunning, each one has it’s own unique beauty.
