Hi all~ Here's a look at the reopening 'schedule'

Hi all~
Here's a look at the reopening 'schedule' for Chalk Therapy & Electric City Works.

We've been working to get the store sorted for this week, although there is A LOT of work ahead of us. We're not rushing into anything-
The store has new flooring going in on Wednesday. New shelves/walkways are being built to ensure the safety of our staff and customers.
I am looking to open the store on Saturday, May 23rd for a short time to see how it goes.
12-4pm
We have received two large orders of paint that will be available on the weekend, although Fusion Mineral Paint is in short supply world wide.
These colours will not last long, and reorder is not available.

Each week we will add dates & times the store will be open to the public, hoping to add more each week.
Short term we're looking at:
Saturday
Then:
Friday + Saturday
Then:
Thursday + Friday + Saturday
We will be bringing staff back on soon, which will allow for more days open, and work to be completed faster.

We look forward to seeing you, if even from behind plexiglass 💕

New Insta stories like crazy as new paint product

New Insta stories like crazy as new paint products are being added, plants are back in stock, and a look around the messy store!

We've had to make some pretty big changes to ensure the safety of our staff, and customers during this time.
We will be announcing our reopening schedule tonight (Sunday)

Just a reminder it has been just me working for the last two months, and things have taken MUCH longer to get done.
If you are waiting for an email to be responded to, please know that we have received thousands of emails due to Fusion Mineral Paint requests. We are working through them, so please feel free to email again to the proper channels.

If you are awaiting a custom refinishing quote, please send to custom@chalktherapy.ca

We're excited to reopen this week to share everything new and wonderful with you all! 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️

Kelly and I have so much love for using old chippy dressers as plant stands.
They are perfect for adding height to an area. Who cares if water drops or if dirt spills~
A tallboy with some broken drawers is the happiest home for an old pot freshly painted and a new friend 🌿🖌️

Raw Silk + Seeded glass has this corner cabinet shining 💖
I removed the orange paint, diamond printed glass (yes... Yeesh) and updated with seeded glass~ Which is my all time favorite go-to for outdated glass .
The girls painted this in smooth coats of Raw Silk by @fusionmineralpaint .
Which... Is my all time favorite go to for a creamy white! So this piece has all the right stuff ...right!? While I don't get to see the team right now, I can reminisce about splattering paint all over, trying to paint the underside with a broken brush. Lol-
A few of us had the pleasure of working on this beauty, and she's now available🌿

Bayberry green~ Because Spring is so close, and it's something we can all look forward to... 🌱
These cute little three drawer dressers are so functional in all spaces. Easy to change from room to room + so much storage~
We're getting back into the swing of things, as I've had a week to figure ...some.. things out around here!
Products are making their way to our online store, and custom refinishing is steady.

I have two passions in life: Painting + Planting 🌿
Both of these helped me through my own self isolation a few years ago while going through chemo... So much of what's happening feels like deja vu... It's a reminder of what I'm thankful for... -To be alive and healthy-
It's a strange time, and I'm ever grateful for our amazing community, clients & customers.
Our store is under uncertainty, as are many, so THANK-YOU for continuing to support local businesses 💕
Take a break, stay indoors, enjoy some much needed relaxation by painting or planting~
Before everything went sideways, I picked up the most amazing lush plants~ I've added them online, and they are available to find a new lovely home 🙌
(You should see the spider plants!)

*Free local delivery + porch pick up is available. All payments to be made online*

Good morning all~ We thank-you for your amazing continued support, although at this time we will be closing the doors as the store has remained high traffic.

I myself, as many know my health history, have a compromised immune system. So we're going with the flow and will be trying to flatten the curve.

All March break workshops will be postponed. Only postponed* When life begins to return to normal, we will be sending emails to everyone who pre-booked to notify the new dates. **All custom work will continue**
We have a large amount of your beautiful pieces to work on while the doors are closed. Pieces will still be finalized, and pickup times will be arranged~

We have added a ‘Shop’ section to the Chalk Therapy website where select items are available for purchase. (chalktherapy.ca/shop)

Once purchased, you may choose a pickup time at the store, or we can deliver your items (within Peterborough city limits) free of charge.
Feel free to call us to place orders as well. 💙
During this time, we also encourage you to check out all of our makers’ websites and keep your eyes on our Insta-stories for updates, new products, and sales!

With so much love and hugs from us->
Be well, be safe, wash your hands, keep your distance and we hope to see you soon!

Tara + Adam
