Barbra Katawich fi rst opened her delightful interiors shop at The Bazaar in West Street, Oundle, in September 2012. Starting out selling gifts, homeware/accessories and furniture, and offering an upholstery service, in July 2013, Asha’s also became a stockist and distributer of the world famous Annie Sloan™ paint. Later that year, Caroline Johnson-Fairbank joined Asha’s to run the Asha’s Paint Studio, Annie Sloan™ paint workshops and now also a brand new lampshade making workshop.

Asha’s stocks the full range of Annie Sloan™ products including paint brushes, wax, books,
lacquer, gold size, craqueleur, découpage varnish and fabrics. All 32 Chalk Paint™ colours are in stock so you can be sure to get all the wonderful colours you want, when you want.
Help is at hand to select the right colour for you if you have diffi culty choosing, and by adding some Annie Sloan™ Clear Wax you can create a fabulous fi nish on your furniture. There is no need to sand surfaces down or prime before using, and the paint is so versatile that the only thing to hold you back will be your imagination.

Asha’s run two offi cial Annie Sloan™ workshops where you get to understand more about paint, distress and wax techniques and how to create a vintage look. The workshops are small and
