Annie Sloan’s Chalk Paint Workbook is your creative companion if you want to develop your own style and try out new design ideas with Chalk Paint™. It combines a sketchbook and a practical guide and is designed for writing, experimenting, mixing, and collecting.

The book builds on the design styles that Annie Sloan described in *Room Recipes for Style and Color* together with her co-author and son, Felix Sloan. In this workbook, the focus is on your own ideas: colors, shapes, patterns, contrasts, and their effect in a room.

The workbook is divided into different sections and provides space for notes, thoughts, color tests, and style experiments. You can try out combinations, sketch patterns, put together color palettes, and jot down your ideas for future projects.

Built-in pockets provide space for inspirational materials such as magazine clippings, color charts, or fabric swatches. This way, you can collect your ideas and materials right in the workbook and refer back to them for future projects.

This workbook helps you consciously develop ideas for colors and styles: What mood do you want to create? What contrasts do you like? Which patterns and colors work well with your project?

A wonderful addition for anyone who uses Chalk Paint™, creates mood boards, or wants to collect their own color and design ideas—and also a creative gift idea for DIY enthusiasts and furniture artists.

My tip: Keep it where you work and use it like a sketchbook or scrapbook. Over time, you’ll build your own personal collection of colors, ideas, and inspiration.
