Awesome Job !

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 !

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!

Join the Patina's at the Toronto Creativ Festival

Hey Patina's! Have questions about how to get different looks with our #chalkypatina paints? Want some DIY tips and tricks from creator, Pamela Stiles? 

Then join us at the Creativ Festival in Toronto (Metro Toronto Convention Center, South Building) from October 24-26! We can't wait to share with you the latest from Bluestone Cottage Inc! 

We've been busy this week getting prepared for the weekend. Check out this gorgeous cabinet that will be displaying our paints and accessories. Can't you just picture this in your dining room, displaying your Grandmothers' finest china?!

And this chair, we'll be painting at the show. You'll see just how smoothly our #chalkypatina paints go over any surface. Light sanding is required, if any at all, and then just slap it on! 

So grab some gal-pals and come visit us at booth #610 and we'll show you how to turn your furniture from #ignoredtoadored. Will we be seeing you there?
