Where Can I Buy Chalk Paint in Canada? (A Complete Guide from a 15-Year Expert & Ontario Wholesale and Retail Distributor)
If you’re searching for where to buy chalk paint in Canada—whether for a small side table or an entire kitchen—this guide will point you in the right direction. With more than 15 years of professional training, hands-on experience, and thousands of happy customers, I’ve seen every chalk paint trend, technique, success story, and question under the sun.
As the Ontario distributor for Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™, I also have the full product line in stock at all times, which means fast shipping, consistent availability, and reliable support you can count on.
Whether you're new to chalk paint or a seasoned DIYer, here’s everything you need to know about where to buy it in Canada—plus expert insights to help you choose the right products.
What Exactly Is “Chalk Paint”?
Before we dive into where to buy, let’s clear up a common confusion:
Chalk Paint™ is the original decorative furniture paint created by Annie Sloan in 1990.
It’s not the same as the chalk-style paints you see in big box stores. Chalk Paint™ was formulated to:
-
Require little to no prep
-
Adhere beautifully to almost any surface
-
Create rich, velvety finishes
-
Offer unlimited creative techniques
-
Last for years with proper sealing
After working with countless brands—milk paint, mineral paint, boutique chalk-style paints—Annie Sloan is still my favorite for reliability, versatility, and colour depth.
Where Canadians Can Buy Chalk Paint™
There are several official Annie Sloan stockists in Ontario and a selection across Canada. These independent shops are trained by Annie Sloan and knowledgeable about the products.
If you want a large selection and consistent inventory:
As the Ontario distributor, my online shop carries:

Why Buy From an Expert Stockist Instead of a Big Box Store?
Big box stores often carry chalk-style paints—not the original Chalk Paint™ by Annie Sloan. The difference in performance is noticeable, especially on higher-impact surfaces like:
-
Kitchen cabinets
-
Dining tables
-
Bathroom vanities
-
High-traffic furniture
With specialist retailers, you’re not just buying paint—you’re buying expert advice, product knowledge, and proven techniques.
My Experience: 15 Years of Training, Teaching & Transformations
I started my business in 2007 as a brick-and-mortar consignment shop. By 2010, I had added milk paint, Fusion Mineral Paint, and finally Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™. Over the years, I’ve trained in person and online with multiple paint brands—but Annie Sloan’s system is still the one I trust the most for consistent, beautiful results.
I’ve painted hundreds of pieces myself and trained customers at every skill level—from the nervous first-timer holding a brush for the first time to advanced artists refining their technique.
Real Results: A $200 Kitchen Makeover
Some of my favorite case studies involve the many customers who have used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™ to transform their kitchen cabinets.
A typical customer spends about $200 on paint, lacquer, and tools…
…compared to the $4,000+ that a professional cabinet painter would charge.
I’ve had customers show me photos of kitchens that look like they came straight out of a magazine—completed in a weekend, with no sanding or stripping required. These kinds of transformations are what make Chalk Paint™ so remarkable.
Workshops & One-on-One Support
To help Canadians get the best results possible, I offer:
-
Private group workshops
One-on-one consultations (phone or in-person) -
Colour advice tailored to your project
-
Technique guidance for kitchens, furniture, fabric, and more
Whether you need help choosing the right shade of white for cabinets or want to recreate a layered antique finish, expert support can make all the difference.
Other Chalk Paint Options in Canada
If you’re looking for alternatives, Canada does carry several chalk-style paint brands, such as:
-
FAT Paint
-
Dixie Belle
-
Country Chic
-
Fusion Mineral Paint
These can be found in various boutiques across the country. While they each have strengths, my experience with all of them has only solidified my preference for Annie Sloan’s Chalk Paint™—particularly because of the finish quality, versatility, and reliability across surface types.
So—Where Should You Buy Chalk Paint in Canada?
If you want:
-
Canada-wide access
-
Expert guidance from someone with 15 years of professional training
-
Reliable inventory that doesn’t sell out
-
Support for complex projects like kitchen cabinet makeovers
Then purchasing from a certified stockist with deep experience—especially one who carries everything—is the best option.
As the Ontario distributor, my shop exists to make it easier for Canadians to access the original Chalk Paint™ along with the knowledge needed to use it confidently.
