BEGINNERS COTTAGE PAINT CLASS - tentative dates, Tuesday July 29th. 6.30 -9.30p, and Thursday July 31st. 6.30 -9.30  p. This is a good class to take if you have never used Cottage Paint before. And you have projects you want to tackle before Winter sets in. It's better to practice and learn all the techniques first before you tackle your redo. In this class you will be working on a wooden door, learning 1-colour distressing, 2-colour distressing, crackle, dry-brushing, antique glazing, waxing and varnishing.  Call now to reserve your spot. If you have a group of 4 or more, you can call and arrange your own time. Some of you are redoing bathrooms, some are repainting kitchen cabinets, some are planning on redoing furniture out at camp. And Cottage Paint has low voc's, making it a great choice for those of us with allergies. We just received a shipment of Cottage paint, with great new colours for the Summer, and new neutrals in off whites and greys.  We have all shades of this season's hottest colour trend - BLUES. The comment we hear the most from our customers.."We Love this Paint!!"  In order to attend this class, do pre-register by phoning us at 475-3551 or email at thecamellia@hotmail.com.

So many places to visit, all a mere 10- 15 minutes form Thunder Bay. ( Lucky you, not like you have to drive 3 hours in traffic to shop local!)

 The Peonies are so beautiful and fragrant.

 What could be easier, pick, place in vessel, and enjoy!

Pitchers of Peonies look beautiful everywhere.

 In the country, you can see the most incredible views. ( for Free!)

 The other morning, we looked out into our field, and saw this rare sight.

 A wee Bambi and his Mom.

Keeping your sanity during a Renovation

Planning a Renovation? Wondering how you are going to cope amidst all the dust, reconstruction, and a 100 where-did-you-put-thats? View this email in your browser

We are just going through a Window renovation now, and no matter how prepared you think you are, it seems to quickly become a giant swirl of things moved and misplaced, trying to arrange schedules with installers, all while attempting  to peer discreetly around the corner to make sure installers are not destroying the walls or floors and using the dropcloths you have laid out for them. Never mind that you have houseguests coming in from Europe in 1 week, and rooms have to be ready and clean. And when you get to that magical moment when they announce..."We're done!!"  RELIEF!!!   Let's talk money, specifically what is your reno going to cost? Spending on Home renovation has been rising steadily for the past 15 years and reached $63.4 billion in 2103. There has been a lot of talk lately about replacing your outdated Oak kitchen cabinets. Oak is not hot anymore, it's Maple and birch. Maple is even more expensive than Oak. There is a cheaper option: use Cottage Paint to paint your oak cabinets. The trend is to do your upper cabinets in a lighter colour, and your lowers in a darker tone. Come into The Camellia to see sample doors which we painted with Cottage Paint. I am still recovering from my trip to the Granite countertop store yesterday, having found out that granite to cover an island will cost $6,000 , this does not include the other counters in the kitchen. No comment on this. Where do you start? Work backwards, pick the 1 item in your reno. that is going to be the most difficult to source. In our photo above, we picked the grey tile, with matching glass tile, then painted some sample boards with Cottage paint to see what was the best match. If you are doing a bedroom, pick  bedding first, then paint the walls. Doing a Living room? Choose furniture first, match up carpet or flooring, then paint. WORK BACKWARDS!   Finished your Renovation? Don't forget that very important  finishing touch, Flowers for your rooms. It's the Icing on the cake. Flowers are in style again, bring in your photos and let us custom design one just to fit your rooms.
