Colour brightens a damp, gloomy Spring Day. The Camellia, Thunder Bay

You get these days in Northern Ontario, where there is lots of grey and a damp mix of rain/slush/snow, and it seems like Spring will never come. The trees are pollinating, the grass is growing, and Robins are busy building nests in our trees. And all the Songbirds have returned. The only thing to do on days like these is to look at photos from your Tropical vacays, And put some colour on your Walls.... don't get carried away with the current Grey and Neutral craze. Try the #CottagePaint array of colours...did you know that #SerenityCottagePaint can go on walls? 

On the left is Robin's egg blue, and on the right is Naples Blue. 

Green is a favourite of so many, Look at the play of Green against the whitewashed brick and that blue sky! I can feel the warmth of the sun that day, we are on the remains of an old Sugar Mill in Antigua. 

Bimini Cottage Paint, a bold choice, great for a piece of Furniture or as an accent in your Home. 

Naples Blue. 

Slate. 

Such an intricate structure, historically the Caribbean's main industry was Sugar production. 

Our favourite Reds in Cottage Paint include #CrimsonRed and #Medieval. Red can be counted on to add an extra dose of Drama to your space.

We are paint consultants, a.k.a Marriage Counsellors, Cottage Paint, Thunder Bay, On

We spend a good part of our day helping clients choose paint colours. Some clients are so tired of their wood kitchens, their wood trim and slab mahogany doors, and they want to PAINT OVER WOOD. Their partner may be completely against Painting wood...and the Battle starts...and the Paint consultant is caught in the middle. 

Why is there such disagreement over painting wood? Read this article...

http://thedecorologist.com/why-men-fear-painting-wood/

For those of you who are against painting wood, did you know some almost new Kitchens are being painted? A factor may be the cost of ripping out cabinets and replacing. Homeowners may not want to deal with the mess of living in a construction zone.  

The biggest reason Homeowners paint Cabinets? They are sick of the wood look, Cabinets are Oak, and the original wood stain has yellowed or  showing wear and tear. Average age of Cabinets? 20-30 years old. 

Here is a before of a Kitchen painted with original #CottagePaint. Of course, you will be taking off cabinets doors, numbering everything, including hinges, use dropcloths. Clean with Cottage Paint Clean and Prep. Head into our store,TheCamellia, at 30, Hacquoil Rd. for advice. Check our websitehttp://www.thecamellia.com/painting-kitchen--bathroom-cabinets.html

#CottagePaint has a palette of 50+ colours. 

The After photos - totally worth it! For advice on Painting cabinets, book an appointment with a Colour consultant at The Camellia, at 30, Hacquoil Rd. Thunder Bay. There is a charge for in-home consultations. p (807)475-3551

We are Open Wednesday through Sunday. Location : 10 mins. from Thunder Bay Airport, heading south along Hwy. 61, turn left onto Hacquoil Rd. 1.6 km on left.

A beautiful Tuscan Villa, Happy Spring!

Have you ever fantasized about running away to Tuscany? Click here to see this stunning Home: http://www.thisisglamorous.com/2017/03/a-beautifully-restored-13th-century-tuscan-villa/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ThisIsGlamorous+%28This+Is+Glamorous%29. This Home is truly an Inspiration! 

Olive Trees ...these are in Napa Valley in California.

 Tuscan interiors are filled with Vases of Flowers..and of course, beautiful Gardens filled with flowers. 

Lavender bundles hanging to dry...some villas we have visited have large vases of Lavender buds, and when you walk into the room, the wonderful smell of Lavender is in the air, rising up to greet you. Here at #TheCamellia, we have Lavender bunches grown in #Sooke, on Vancouver Island. You can add Lavender essential Oil to your Vase of Lavender to get that wonderful aroma. If you crush the buds, that will bring forth that lovely aroma. 

The views in Tuscany are spectacular, a photo opportunity around every bend.
