Can you believe it's the Canada Day weekend already! Where did the time go? What are you planning for this weekend? Some of you may have an old piece of furniture laying around, waiting for the time to strip it, and redo it. Wait no more! Cottage Paint is here, just wash your piece down with TSP, make sure it's free of flaking paint or rust, then choose a colour from our palette, and just paint. What could be easier. Cottage Paint dries in under an hour, and has low voc's. Cottage Paint is a unique, clay based paint. Not to be confused with Annie Sloan paint, which is chalk based.
I too have a zillion projects, saved up for years, like these old shoe lasts I had purchased from a shoemaker who was closing his shop. Here is the Before photo.
Here is the after, I used the colour Creme Brulee, and the number stencil. After you paint, you can ( before the paint dries) use a damp cloth to wipe the piece back, this gives it a nice, distressed Shabby Chic look. Then finish with a water-based varnish, or a wax, both of which we sell at The Camellia. You can also purchase on-line at http://www.thecamellia.com/buy-cottage-paint.html
Here is a metal star I painted with Cottage Paint.
Some larger pieces of Furniture painted with Cottage Paint, photos from Cottage Paint and Linda Lock's website.
An outdoor planter I stencilled on, stencils will be in stock soon.
