Tropical Inspiration, The Camellia, Thunder Bay, Ontario

Today we are heading to Jolly Harbour, Antigua for Tropical inspiration. When Winter starts to drag, the Caribbean is the place to head to, 28 -29 C most days. Antigua boasts that they have 360 beaches, we manged to see only  a few. This beach is the best one for Seashell collecting...masses of small shells wash up on shore,  this is the North finger.

One gets inspired to pull out forgotten watercolours and attempt to paint. So many tropical blossoms and birds to paint. 

Have been meaning to try doing an  Art Journal...first attempt at this. 

We're heading to GAZEBO - the place to find unique Home Furnishings. Look at that pop of colour on the wall , makes you want to repaint your wall with #CottagePaint KIWI. As always when you visit the Caribbean, you return home wanting to redo your entire home's decor. 

Summer is coming...Daylight Savings time starts this weekend, Time to think about outdoor entertaining, and outdoor furniture.

Colour ...and more colour. At The Camellia, we are all about colour, think about how to introduce more colour into your decor for the Summer. 

These are special pieces found at Gazebo in Antigua, but you can redo an old piece of furniture with Cottage Paint from The Camellia. 

We have an Antique Dining ( solid wood)  room set for sale with 2 leaves and 4 chairs. This is a great Cottage Paint project,  some of the joints on the chairs need  regluing. To refinish, you will need 1 , maybe 2 quarts of Cottage Paint. Contact us at 475-3551 if interested. 

Lovely Wicker set from Gazebo. 

For Tropical decor Inspiration, visit The Camellia. Open Wednesday through Sunday. 

Sat. 11-5, Sunday 12-5.
