Now to bring colors into your Provençal decor, go quickly to Annie Sloan and find the nearest dealer to you. There you will learn how to create wonderful finishes in those incredible foggy grays, taupes, linens, creams, and blues and how to get those fabulous chalky finishes. You'll learn to distress and then wax your furniture... I've really fallen hard for this line!
