Annie Sloan’s line of paint has 35 beautiful colors. Some are mellow and others are bright. In choosing a color for one of my bedroom furniture pieces, I decided on BARCELONA ORANGE. The wall color is pale yellow and my drapes are a floral on a red background. Orange is a great color to throw into the mix. 
This piece already looks orange, but if you look closely, it is badly stained wood with a thick, shiny top coat that yellowed with age. It’s a great storage piece and takes little room, being only 13 inches deep.
The first coat of Barcelona Orange was very orange. Notice how the camera made the top look much lighter than the base; but they are the same color.
I painted and waxed a sample first, which is something I recommend. Then, you know what it will look like.
VIOLA! Two coats of paint and a layer of Annie Sloan’s Soft Dark Wax gave it a beautiful hand-painted and unique finish. The dark wax subdued the color, gave it an aged look, and a bit of sheen.
