The room required a special piece with lots of soul that had a good old story to tell; that is what we set out to create with this project using Artisan Premium Chalk Paints, and waxes.
Once a battered old dark veneer piece now given a charmful rustic finish with hand created textures and layers created completely with premium chalk paints then detailed with Artisan waxes, and metallics. Celebrating layers, age and textures, drawing colours from a nearby painting to create a bespoke piece to perfectly fit into an intended space. A freedom to create something unique, unfound, stepping outside your comfort zone to explore imagine and create is everything we wanted to create with Premium Chalk Paints. Whether it's flat soft finishes or something super rustic textured and layered, just the one paint; no sanding or priming and adheres to almost any surface, just paint among all the possibilities.
The Piece : Creative finish using Premium Chalk Paint colours, Purple Sash, Brickyard, Old Denim, Tropical Lagoon, Firefly, Wild Tusk and Dusky Fields ( Stay tuned for a new workshop coming out this year covering Artisan rustic finishes)
Detailed simply in Artisan Dark Wax, metallic Glaze in Szofia Dust and Forgotten gold metallic glide

The Artisan Company is a New Zealand owned and based company focussed upon making and providing the highest quality decorative paints and tools for homes and all types of spaces. Born out of a rich heritage of bespoke paint finishes on furniture and interiors through the merging of Taylored Revival and Vintro Paint NZ and with several decades of experience we are unashamedly focused upon luxury DIY products and in helping people achieve bespoke looks in their interiors.
As NZ's only bespoke paint manufacturer making our own exclusive formulations including our flagship Premium Chalk Paint we combine technology with our fine tuned natural skills. We use advanced machinery with an exact accuracy measured within less than a ¼ of a ml and use a custom formulation database with complex colours formulated by hand; most of which can't be replicated by machines. Our trademarked FLOWplus® technology further differentiates our range being built in from the ground up and allowing our thick full bodied and highly pigmented paints to mould and flow effortlessly. We are a proud NZ company who promotes and uses local suppliers and products wherever possible. We also aim to have a positive impact on environment through low VOC paints, minimised wastage and smart use of materials.
