Where old furniture finds new purpose

Located on Falmouth’s bustling Old High Street, The Grey Lurcher is far more than a gift shop; it is home to the iconic Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. In a world dominated by flatpack furniture, there is something sneakily rebellious about picking up a paintbrush. Simply stocking the full range of Annie Sloan products offers possibility. Chalk Paint is an invitation to keep the much-loved family table or transform a second-hand dresser into something entirely personal.

Annie Sloan paint makes creativity feel easy. With little to no sanding and rarely any need for priming, it can be used on wood, laminate and even metal. Pieces can be sealed or left uncoated, depending on the desired finish. Its signature chalky matt texture and beautifully chosen palette of colours mean it can be used straight from the tin.

Upcycling furniture is is a sustainable choice. Every piece painted is one less item heading to the landfill and every refreshed chair is one less reason to buy mass-produced. Those velvety Annie Sloan shades have a habit of drawing people in. And what’s more the team at The Grey Lurcher are on hand to offer guidance on techniques and finishes.

Chalk Paint requires minimal preparation while delivering smooth, reliable coverage and professional-looking results. There is a particular satisfaction in stepping back from a finished piece and realising it has been given new life. A once-forgotten item can take pride of place once more, carrying both its history and the creativity of its owner.

Visitors are warmly invited to call at 20 High Street, Falmouth TR11 2AB, where inspiration and a selection of beautiful gifts await.
