An English Annie Sloan Stockist abroad

After attending the Annie Sloan USA Stockist Conference in New Orleans I took a flight to Florida for a few days where the opportunity arose to have a look (nosy) around one of the biggest Chalk Paint ™ decorative paints by Annie Sloan suppliers in USA. 



The outside of Robyn Story Designs.
The outside concrete has been painted in Chalk Paint

 
The reception area - wow I think I could just about fit my shop into here.
 
 Every area inside the store has different themes. The lighting and decoration in each area is out of this world.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 A recently painted piece in Chalk Paint.
This chair was velvet green before it was painted in Chalk Paint then stencilled and waxed. The finish was just like an aged leather look.
The wall of Chalk Paint colours. 
 
One of Robyn's flower rooms.  There were several!
 
The painting studio area where all the workshops are held.
I got lots and lots of pictures and these are just a few for the blog.  I have to say if anyone is ever in the Tampa/Clearwater/Orlando area you must go and visit Robyn's lovely store.  Its not a shop its a shopping experience.
I came away with lots of goodies and a lovely Annie Sloan apron that I will wear with pride during my own workshops.  And of course the bag which will be my latest accessory.
 
Thank you Robyn and all your lovely team for the 3 hours of your time I took up and the endless cups of coffee x

  1. Hello Carol,

    Yes..I often point to Robyn's driveway as an example of how durable Chalk Paint® decorative paints are for exteriors. Her shop looks amazing and it is on my list of things to do. Happy you got to visit NOLA and Robyn's shop.

    Loved meeting you in NOLA!!
