Hello!  Welcome to a colourful evolution .... 
welcome to the NEW Cottage paint!
Cottage Paint is more than just a Furniture Paint, it is a source of Inspiration for every creative soul, and offers a moment of unwinding and relaxation. This total rebranding brings with it changes....e.g. the names of the colours have changed.  Here at The Camellia, we are here to help you through this change. 

Introducing 4 NEW Cottage Paint colours....! Inspired by the colours and textures of the great Canadian outdoors. 

Blue Heron.

Creekside. 

Monarch. 

Warm Glow

Summer is such a great Season!  The colour palette of Cottage Paint is inspired by time spent at a tranquil Summer Cottage. We are happy to Welcome you back to our store. As so many of you have told us, it is difficult to choose paint colours on a computer screen. 

July is the perfect month to get all those 'someday' Paint projects done. Stop by and see us instore, and get a sample of the new Cottage Paint colours. If you need advice on your Paint projects, take some photos to show us when you come into our store, the Camellia. 

Summer is the best time ever! Imagine stepping out of the shower  ( having washed with a  creamy bar of our Napa Soap), drying off with a  big fluffy towel, changing into cute PJ's, and snuggling under fresh  Clara Clark Bedsheets in a crispy air-conditioned room.  It doesn't get much better!

We just received new Clara Clark sheets ( Lavender,  Eggplant, and Pink in stock now, along with other colours) in 1800 TC queen size. Lime is now available in Queen size ( before it was only available in Twin size), we order once a month, next order deadline is  July 24th. Phone us at 807-475-3551.

We are OPEN at The Camellia, it's Summer and Ontario is opening up!

At long last.....Everything is opening up! You can come into our store, the Camellia, and SHOP!! ( Wear a mask, and follow all the usual safety protocols). No more guessing at the wrong paint colours. There are a lot of products which just can't be ordered online. Cottage Paint colours on the computer are not the same as the actual colour in the can. 

Ontario is 75% vaccinated with their first dose, and 25% have had both doses. We know everyone is ready for Life to return to some sort of normal. At least, it's Summer now and everything is lush, and green. Time to leave our homes, and get outside!

Who can't wait to go a longish Road trip? Parents wanting to be able to see their children. Grandparents wanting to see their grandbabies. Those waiting for the U.S./Canada border to open up ( supposedly we are weeks away from borders opening up ). Here in Northern Ontario, most of us have been out Fishing and Day Camping. 

Twilight at Thunder Bay's marina ....Summertime is here!

Summer is a good time to change out your Floral arrangements in your Home or Camp. so many of us have missed our winter vacays in the Tropics, why not decorate with our real-looking Hibiscus and Ginger stems? No water or extra care needed, they have long stems so they are suitable for use in a tall vase. 

Here at the Camellia, we stock Cottage Paint which is a water-based chalk-like Paint that transforms Furniture and cabinets. Cottage Paint has a wonderful palette of 60+ colours, and we can tint here at our store. 

Summer gardens have their own spectacular array of lovely lavenders and purples, and off-whites. 

We have been working on some DIY sign kits which you can purchase if you have a small Craft party in your Home. Letters are black or white Vinyl, kits include a wooden board and Cottage Paint. Phone us at 807-475-3551 for prices . 

Cottage Paint is perfect for Garden projects. Gardens look lovely with the addition of Birdhouses, and small obelisks, and ornaments. This colour is Robin's egg blue, and pairs up well with our patio tablecloths. These have a hole in the middle for the umbrella and a zipper up to the hole. 

Here is a work-in-progress. A deco mesh Wreath which would look great out at Camp, this will be  a DIY kit you can purchase to make your own. It is time consuming, but the end result is worth it.

You can clip on photos of your family onto this wreath. Which brings us to another topic, take lots of photos. You never know when that photo is all you have left of someone.  

Visit us here at the Camellia, at 30/32 Hacquoil Rd. Slate River, Ontario. 

Open Wednesday through to Saturday, generally 12 to 5p.

The softest sheets to sleep on, Clara Clark in Thunder Bay at The Camellia.

When you sell sheets and Bedding, you hear all KINDS of things from people, things you make you squirm. Some things like:
- My partner sleeps in the nude. There's something in his body that stains the sheets yellow.
- You mean washing the sheets once every 3 months is no good?
- How do you remove the night dribble from dark coloured sheets?
- My mattress is 30 " thick, do you have a sheet for that?
- These sheets say wrinkle - free. I washed them and they have wrinkles!!
- What do you mean, I HAVE to wash my sheets separate from my towels? omg!

From a Design viewpoint, the Bedroom is the last place that people invest in because, well, no-one sees it, it's hidden and  they can just close the door. There, no need to look at that ugly room! 

You are the person that uses your Bedroom, and what could be more important than getting a good 7 hours of sleep? 

We'll go into how to pick a great mattress in another post, but today we want to let you know about  our Clara Clark Sheets, they are ever so soft, 1800 thread count, and come in 23 colours. They wash well and wear well. My first set is going into its 8th.year. It feels good at the end of the day to lay on some really soft sheets. They are made of microfibre which repels bedbugs. Did you know that Bedbugs can live in cotton sheets? You can stay in a really nice, new Hotel and be bitten by (this one was dog friendly) either fleas or bedbugs. Yet people sleeping in the other bed in the same room had no bites. 

At the Camellia in Thunder Bay, we stock Queen Clara Clark sheet sets. They are available in Double, Twin and King. 

You must pre-order these by certain dates- Sept. 15, 2019, Oct. 15, 2019, & Nov. 12th. 2019. 

You can come into our store to look at colours, and there is nothing better than being able to touch and feel sheets before you purchase. 

Many years ago, sheets were very practical, probably made from Flax which was spun into Linen. 

We have had a great Summer in Thunder Bay, and while our temperatures have cooled off lately, Fall is just around the corner. We are not ready for Fall. Not just yet. 

Take a short drive into Slate River Valley to The Camellia, at 30/32 Hacquoil Rd. Thunder Bay. 

Open Wed. 11-5, Thurs. 12-5, Fri. and Sat. 11-5, Sunday 12-5p.
