Wonderful Day Of Chalky Furniture Painting !!!

Fantastic Day at Mohawk College !!!

Check out the transformations made by these 
lovely Patina ladies !!!
some are first-timers !

Jennifer did her wooden box in the signature colour "Bluestone"
Then added a two-tone stencil and distressed !
Great Job ! 
 

Lorna Took this old dresser from Ignored to Adored with "Driftwood" & "Vintage Velvet "
Awesome Job !
Stay tuned for Lorna's Big Announcement ! coming soon !!!


The Patina Ladies deep in meditation - lol  !!!
I mean painting - it's so relaxing !!!


Ursula made this old travel box come alive in 
"Vintage Velvet" then a little stenciling !
Viola ! It's Spectacular !!!


Inez decided to paint this lovely table.
She used a custom colour that I think will be going into the 
Spring 2015 line - as everyone loved it !
I will need a name for it - any ideas ?
The base is done in "Driftwood" 
Outstanding Job !

Lynn found these 2 bedside tables on Kijiji ! 
What she did to them makes looks like a HomeSense find !
Exceptional Job Lynn !


Elena made a statement piece by painting this table in 
"Vintage Velvet" then in our new red - (that also needs a name)
When she distressed the top she was careful to only 
take it back to the red in some places !
Great way to get that Modern Country Look ! 
Fabulous !




Kathy has made this "anywhere" table into something 
Magnificent ! 
She used "French Country" and "Vintage Velvet"  
Great Job !

 

Kathleen made these side tables exceptional ! She used 
"French Country" and a antique glaze that made them Extraordinary !
Very Nice !

What's new at Bluestone House™ ?

Happy Thursday Patina's! 

We had a great weekend at the Creativ Festival. It was nice to meet SO many crafty DIYer's who adored our #chalkypatina paints, and couldn't wait to use it on their next furniture restoration project. 


Here are a few photos from the weekend. Special thanks to patina's Brenda, Lorri and Rebecca for helping out at the show! 




With such a great response from the Creativ Festival, we thought, why not get a booth at the Ancaster Lions Craft and Gift Show, which will be held on November 1 and 2 at the Ancaster Fairgrounds, 630 Trinity Road South from 10AM to 4PM.

And the good news doesn't stop there - oh no! - we've now got our Bluestone House™ line in the third and final Millionaire's Daughters location at 427 Spears Road in Oakville.

That's right Oakville residents, we've reached you :) And we all know, the side-walk furniture finds on garbage day are like no other in Oakville. Those gems are just waiting to be turned from #ignoredtoadored with Bluestone House™

So keep a look out, and get your creativity flowing, because the winter months are upon us, and we all need a new indoor hobby to take up during Canada's harsh winters. Follow us on Pinterest for chalk-paint inspired ideas :)




Looking forward to seeing you around town! Please email pamelastiles@me.com with any questions.

#HappyPainting!

Bluestone House™ Meets The Millionaire's Daughter

From the success at Locke Street Festival and Christie's Antique Show, to our second debut on The Shopping Channel, we thought, "there's no WAY the month of September could get any better!" But, we spoke too soon, and it did!

As fate would have it, Pamela was introduced to Lauren who paints furniture with our #Bluestone #chalkypainta paint. Pamela tells the story well. "Lauren popped by the cottage to purchase our top seller, Bluestone. While chatting away about her latest DIY projects, Lauren happened to mention that she sells her pieces at her Aunts store. Naturally curious, I asked which store. She replied, "The Millionaire's Daughter." I could hardly contain my excitement! That day she introduced me to her Aunt, Maureen Barnes, and as you can see, the rest is history!"

And on this beautiful Thursday, we've been setting the stage for Bluestone House debut at The Millionaire's Daughter, located at 272 Ottawa St N, Hamilton. Next stop will be the Millionaire's Daughter's Aurora (40 Englehard Drive) and Oakville (427 Speers Road) locations. We will be painting two more cabinets, and would love you colour suggestions! Please comment below.


Painted in #FrenchCountry and #Bluestone, this gorgeous cabinet will house our 12 #chalkypatina paints (100ml, 250ml and 500ml), unique line of brushes, topcoat, natural beeswax, and paint accessories.


Pam will be painting and distressing ignored furniture from the Millionaire's Daughter with Bluestone Cottage Inc paints and accessories this Saturday in front of the store, as part of the Ottawa Street Sidewalk Sale! Come visit between 9AM-5PM. We'd love to show you how to get your patina on and turn your furniture from #ignoredtoadored. 


Cheers to a successful partnership Maureen, and the rest of The Millionaire's Daughter team. 
Thanks Lauren for introducing me to your wonderful Aunt! 

#HappyPainting Everyone :)
