Want to Paint your Kitchen Cabinets? Ugly duckling Cabinet Door DIY at-home Kit

Thunder Bay Flower & Gift shop, & Cottage Paint stockist. 

January is typically when the month when homeowners look around their Home, and start planning Home Renovations. You may be living with an outdated Kitchen, and would like to update it, but may not have the budget for a complete redo. Perhaps you want to put your house up for sale in the Spring. Normally we would hold Kitchen Cabinet paint classes in January, so you can learn about the whole process. You do not want to be practicing on your Cabinets. So we have put together an 'Ugly Duckling" DIY at-home kit, with everything you need to paint a Cabinet door. 

The biggest first step is Cleaning your cabinet doors, and drawer fronts. We recommend using Cottage Paint Furniture Clean and Prep. Pay close attention to cleaning around handles, raised edges, and the parts of the cabinet door which gets handled the most. Buy Cottage Paint cleaner here: https://iwindowshop.ca/collections/cottage-paint/products/cottage-paint-furniture-clean-and-prep  

If your doors are very dirty, you may have to clean them 2 or 3 times. Paint will not adhere well to a dirty surface. 

There are 3 types of Cottage Paint - Expression, Serenity and Reflection. The above finish which is distressed, and stencilled, is Cottage Paint Expressions. This cabinet is 30+ years old, and gets a lot of traffic in a Mudroom. The most popular Kitchen Cabinet colour is White. White is not for everyone, it shows up every bit of dirt and every spill. We have curated our 16 most popular Cottage Paint Cabinet colours here: https://iwindowshop.ca/collections/cottage-paint/products/kitchen-cabinet-paint-package. 

If you want a modern, solid look, as in the photo above, you need Serenity Cottage Paint. Colours like Driftwood, and Anchor will be easier to take care of. 

This kit will have a wooden cabinet door which you will paint, like the door above, it is indeed, quite ugly. Kitchens are busy places in the Home, they get a lot of use,  and food often spills on the cabinet doors. 

Your kit will contain 1 Furniture Clean and Prep, Serenity or Expression Paint, along with a roller and brush kit. 

Instructions will be included, and a list of resources for Painting your Kitchen or Bathroom Cabinets. 

 

As we all want to stay safe ( no in-person Classes), we are introducing our UGLY DUCKLING Cabinet Door Makeover DIY Kit. Included will be a wooden cabinet door, Cottage Paint cleaner, 1 can of Cottage Paint, a Roller & Brusk kit, with instructions. You need to make 2 decisions:

-do you prefer a solid painted look, or a distressed finish?

- what colour do you want to paint your Cabinet door?

Happy New Year! 2022 is here!

Thunder Bay Flower & Gift shop

Here we are at the start of a brand New year! 2022! It's a chilly -21 Celsius and sunny here in Thunder Bay, Ontario. 

In Antigua, it is a beautiful sunny day, and 27 degrees Celsius. We hope you are having a great day whether you are in the cold, or in the Caribbean. 

Some of us are list makers and Goals-to-be-set- kind-of-people, and the new paper smell of a fresh planner is kind of nice. It's a day to put up 2022 calendars, and to start writing in a new planner. 

Maybe you have taken your Christmas Tree down ( amidst a flurry of pine needles), and are wondering what to put in that bare spot. A Dried floral arrangement filled with pods, and Pampas grass would look lovely. Here at The Camellia, we can custom make a Floral for your space. 

Cleaning out your purse could be on your To-Do list, this lovely Vera Bradley purse would ensure that you carry just what you need, and enable you to find your things in a timely manner. We sell Vera Bradley purses and weekenders at our store, The Camellia. Organization is everything, especially for us ADD people. One of your New Year's goals might be to find a home for those items which have piled up on your counters, and maybe to donate what you no longer need to Goodwill. 

Some of us are uber goal-oriented, and just want to get stuff done. 

Maybe you have committed to eating healthier, and exercising more. To make time for yourself, and do more yoga, and self-care. 

Most of all, we wish that everyone gets better, and that we can return to some sort of a normal life again. 

We will post our January hours soon, you can call us at 807-475-3551,
