Annie Sloan's Color Schemes for Every Room

By: Annie Sloan

Annie Sloan's Color Schemes is the essential guide to using a crucial decorating tool -- the color palette. Annie Sloan puts it all together room by room using stunning color schemes -- organized in low, medium, or high contrasts. This book introduces the main shade types to be found within each color and suggests dramatic and harmonious complementary colors. There are simple questions to help choose decorative palettes such as Hippie Chic, Riviera Touch, or Florentine Renaissance. Readers answer questions, then turn to the relevant group of color palettes, organized into three contrasting categories. There are hundreds of paint combinations representing a wide variety of tastes. Each theme features ten color swatches -- from Beach House to Classic Victorian -- easily recreated using Annie's paint recipes or the color masks built into the book flaps to isolate color at your local paint store.

Annie Sloan Colorful Living

30 creative upcycling paint projects for your home

By: Annie Sloan

Annie Sloan is a celebrated decorative painter and the inventor of Chalk Paint®, with over a million followers on social media. In her new book, Annie introduces 30 brand-new sustainable upcycling projects to give old furniture a second life. The pieces in this book range from decorative items such as a bed coronet and a decoupaged bureau to large-scale undertakings including revamping a tall French armoire with a blend of Chalk Paint hues and using paint effects for a faux malachite desk. The projects are grouped by simplicity and the length of time required to complete each one, from an afternoon to a weekend. The techniques used range from painting to gilding, dyeing fabric, stamping, printing, and stencilling and each one is clearly explained in easy-to-follow step-by-step photography. As well as her love for color and paint, Annie has a passion for sustainability and reuse, and the book begins with a chapter that explains the concept of upcycling and why it matters. Every project in the book transforms an unloved second-hand item into something beautiful and unique, and Annie provides expert advice on sourcing the original pieces at flea markets and online.

Inspirations in Painted Furniture

Inspirations in Painted Furniture

By: Annie Sloan

Overpopulation, overexploitation of natural resources, overconsumerism, the predictions of environmental experts do not bode well for us. What can we do? In her thought-provoking study, Redefining Moral Education, Kathryn Wayne explores the role of education in developing a new ecological morality. Using two novels by Ursula Le Guin, The Word for World Is Forest (1972) and Always Coming Home (1985), Wayne explores how language plays an essential part in our apprehension of the relationship between nature and culture. Wayne analyzes how Le Guin's work relates to recent works by deep ecologists, social ecologists, and ecofeminists, as well as leading influences in moral theory and education - Kohlberg, Gilligan, Rogers, and Noddings - and how Le Guin uses language to highlight cultural behaviors and practices that can be held as an example from which we can redefine morality in terms of our environment. Redefining Moral Education provides a groundbreaking analysis of the relationship between rhetorical and environmental practices, of importance not simply to educators, but to all of us.
