Antoinette is a soft light pink chalk paint colour inspired by the decorative pieces and interiors of 18th century france, when the finest red earths were mixed with white and used to make a dusky pale pastel for walls.

Chalk paint is a very special paint for a number of reasons:

• Sanding and priming is not necessary.
• Environmentally friendly due to a very low solvent content.
• Can be used on almost any surface, indoors and outdoors.
• The paint can be diluted with water for whitewash, for example, so that the wood grain remains visible.
• The colours are composed in such a way that they can be mixed well with each other.
• It's a girls' paint, but boys can use it too.
• You can safely use it if you are pregnant.
• It allows walls to breathe and is therefore extremely suitable for old houses or cottages.
• It can be used as 'impasto', to do this leave the lid off the pot to allow the paint to dry, making it thicker.
• The paint has been made since 1990, you could say: dyed in the wool.
