Painting a stone fireplace

[Brian]

I was also dubious about the Annie Sloan paints - triumph of marketing etc etc. But I tried some and was very impressed.
It's very well pigmented, covers very well and goes a long way. I think it's one of those rare cases whereby it commands a premium price because it is actually a better product.

I tend to buy mine on trips to the UK as it is substantially cheaper there.

Edit to add that I have nothing to do with Annie Sloan paints or their retail outlets other than as a satisfied customer.
