Smooth Sunday night vibes~
Sunday Tea by @countrychicpaint toned with antique wax + original hardware.
We're happy to have more wardrobes and Tallboy dressers making their way into the gallery~
So much vintage. 💕

Here's something beautiful to help take your mind off what's happening outside today... Weekends like this are perfect for indoor projects! Like refinishing that old piece in the corner, or in the basement~
We'll be doing just that aaaallll day long!
This wardrobe done in Sacred Sage by @fusionmineralpaint

I just love a solid wardrobe, especially with hints of honey stained wood~

Old + New + Upcycled 🌿

Antique washboards, upcycled vintage frames turned chalk boards & the cutest post boxes have all arrived in the gallery~
Kelly has been buzzing around the shop placing new amazing pieces all over, with MANY more to come! (As always 😉)

Since there's no reason to go anywhere today, I'm staying cozy indoors~ Baking with my daughter and going through many of the amazing photos we take of our pieces, but never get a chance to share!
You can see this French Provincial pair of side tables in our front window #downtownptbo all painted up in 'Goddess Ashwanghanda' by @fusionmineralpaint 🙌

This pair has had a place in my heart for some time now, so we pulled them from the gallery to give them an update.
Soft and smooth, light distressing to show all the curves. 💕

It's come a long way from an over painted, sad, little white box...
YEARS of paint layers stripped away to reveal the stunning natural wood beneath~
Painted in Brook + Natural Stain Finishing Oil by @fusionmineralpaint
I know I say it often, but we loved refinishing this piece- The perfect new hardware fit the vintage sizing, which rarely happens! No holes to fill, no repairs to make, sold wood throughout.
Just needed some love 🌿

Saturday morning sneak peek 🙌

Natural stain + colour Brook by @fusionmineralpaint is a timeless combination. Are you working on projects during the snow storm??? We certainly will be! .

Had to share the full view-
I loved having it in the front window, if even for a short while~
This stunner went to it's forever home today, nestled into their 'Blue Room' 💙
Love that stain, love those pulls, love those legs... .

Starting fresh this week!
Clean lines, timeless colours and vintage pulls~ .
...I'm going to share something here:
I'm a professional hoarder... I've had this piece for THREE years now. 😅
I picked this piece up from an estate sale and knew it was going to be something special.
I just needed some time with it.
It's one of many things that I have stashed away, in my many places filled with pieces... One of many that Adam and the team say 'Are you ACTUALLY going to do something with this!? When???' Lol-
The answer is always '...yes 😏...some...time'
And now here it is
It's amazing to see it perfect- Sanded, stained, painted, and new hairpin legs.
You can see this beauty front row and center in our store windows.
What are you going to pick from your pile to begin today?
Happy Monday everyone 🙌 .

Ahhh~ It's Sunday! 🙌
It's a mixed bag of readiness out there! I for one will be scrambling around downtown today finding all the last minute gifts 😅 Getting paint + brushes organized for all the small projects I want to achieve before Christmas Eve, and thank my past self for doing all the charcuterie board shopping before this point 🧀

We have so many amazing little gifties in-store: upcoming workshops, DIY kits, one of a kind artisan pieces, refinished furniture to make your space perfect, and SO much more-
{I'll be doing my favourites on IG stories}
Including this leggy little half moon table all painted up by Kim in one of my favorite timeless modern colours 'Lichen' by @fusionmineralpaint
Nice simple lines, light distressing, small storage.
Vintage candle sticks are a sharp match 👌
Both available in the gallery

One of my favorite parts of doing custom refinishing is the reveal~
Beautiful before and afters are amazing, but knowing how much work went into an outdated set that fights the whole way through is SO very satisfying when it turns out this well 💎
Table in Coal Black
Chairs all Casement White (+ 3 more large barstools + large table leaf not pictured)

A wonderful way to end the year is this massive set completed, and on its way home for Christmas ✔️🎄🎁

I may also have 5 more downstairs... 😬 We've been painting our wrists into the ground this week, and the gallery is FULL of new pieces. Not just ours, everyone's from @electriccityworks 🙌 We have THREE pop ups this week before Christmas: @it.must.be.loved + @cedar_wren + @2needlesandahook {Who are obviously all amazing} We're open all weekend with free parking everywhere!

Glazing adds so much depth to pieces with heavy details~
Vintage goodness painted in Park Bench by @fusionmineralpaint Highlighted by Pale Gold + Copper metallics.
Original hardware has so much character, I couldn't imagine this piece with anything else!
