Annie Omar, the founder of Maison Blanche paint, is certainly one of the people involved in making Darling's dreams come true. Her deeply talented artistic roots, product knowledge, color choices, and strong philosophy is what makes her company very special.
"I'm very proud of my Southern Louisiana roots and come from a long lineage of strong and independent women. The paint colors you'll find have been inspired by my South Louisiana, Cajun & French Creole heritage. A southern belle at heart, I operate from a place of abundance. It's my ultimate dream to be able to help other women begin their own journey towards financial and creative freedom. The business model of La Craie paint is designed to do just that." ~Annie
Her ideas are in alignment with what drives me....I love what I do and want to share my knowledge, that there is enough room for everyone, and to inspire and help others love where they are!

Our exclusive Furniture Paint formula is unlike any you've seen before. It was designed with you, the creative and conscious consumer, in mind.
We wanted to make it both excellent quality and affordable. Maison Blanche Furniture Paint dries to a soft, velvety finish and is extremely low in organic volatile compounds, making it a green and eco-friendly alternative to traditional oil-based paints so often used on furniture. With little to no odor, we can create your masterpiece just about anywhere without fear of reprisal from your delicate senses.
Our Furniture Paint has been carefully refined and perfect to the last drop. Silky and smooth, the paint can be applied using a variety of techniques in addition to 'straight from the can'. It's been specially formulated for painting furniture, cabinetry, and trim. It can also be used to top off any existing furniture finish, without the need for stripping, sanding, or priming. What could be simpler?
For a more distressed look, apply waxes to create that classic, old world patina. Add a bit of water and try it as a color wash. If you prefer your paint a bit thicker, simply leave the lid off for awhile. The paint will thicken without forming a skin on top.
This calcium carbonate based formula is available in 32 delicious colors. You're sure to find the perfect shade for your project. Use one color or layer several. The sky's the limit.
Let me tempt you with more… the line is unique in that is has 4 Antique Waxes, used to create lustrous finishes, providing an additional vehicle for embellishment. The waxes are the best that I have used, and never give an appearance of a piece looking "dirty".
Not only is the color palate outstanding but usage of Organza provides an metallic elegance that is unparalleled. Oh…and let's not forget Glacage, a thick texturing cream that mimics the look and feel of intricately carved wood to create french appliques that are just exquisite.
Darling is stocked with paint and cannot wait to share our knowledge!
