Red Red Red
Lois Butler - Saturday, August 20, 2016
Just a reminder to all of you to come and enjoy Pointe-Claire Village Day. There's lots going on - check out my Facebook link for more details. Also, hot off the press is this wonderful red dresser.
I asked my husband what colour should I paint this piece and as you can see his answer was red (BTW his answer is always red when I ask the question). I think his choice was the right one. I have antiqued the red with our new black antiquing wax. The schedule for fall classes is coming soon. Keep checking.
Cottage Life
Lois Butler - Wednesday, August 10, 2016
Our Cottage Life Collection is not just for the cottage. Entertain and relax in style all year long. Add a touch of whimsy to your table with these unique pieces, each one sporting a cottage chair (do you call it a Muskoka chair or an Adirondack chair)... Just a reminder to sit back and enjoy the heat of the season and stay hydrated.
Check out the full line in our Tabletop Catalogue. New pieces will be added to this line in September.
A Whale of a Time
Lois Butler - Friday, July 08, 2016
Need a break from the heat? Tired of weeding? Having a staycation? Forget your troubles. Forget your cares. Come do our pop-up painting course on Wednesday, July 20th - starting at 11:00 a.m. and it doesn't end until you finish. No experience necessary.
By doing this project you will learn a few basic techniques of painting a distressed piece that can also be applied to painting furniture.
The class fee will be $140 all materials included (includes the precut whale, fish, and background board as well as the use of our excellent APC paint, wax and brushes).
Call the store at 514-426-2270 to reserve your spot.
A Modern Mood
Lois Butler - Thursday, July 07, 2016
Wow! We are receiving great product and just want to share some modern picks with you today. Come on in while the selection is good. There is much, much, more in the store encompassing all styles and budgets.
You Snooze, You Loose
Lois Butler - Friday, April 22, 2016
This spring at Lois Butler's is proving to be a excellent example of "if you snooze, you loose". So many of the wonderful new products and consignment items that have arrived, are snapped up almost as soon as they come in the door. We don't expect this vanity and mirror to last long.
This cherry wood server has a matching buffet - presently in our front window.
In regard to the consignment furniture we are always accepting new pieces. Send pictures of your items to consignment@loisbutler.com. Don't assume your pieces have no value if family members don't want them. Many people are doing our painting classes and up-cycling older furniture. Maybe doing one of our Beginner Paint Classes and changing the look of your furniture could be a great option for you.
Here are a few more of our recent pieces.
On the more rustic side we have been enjoying this "mousehole" cupboard and the reproduction pine drop leaf table would be a very versatile piece in most settings. The legs are painted and in excellent condition but maybe applying a coat of our eco-friendly APC Paint would be the perfect finishing touch for your home. We have small jars of paint, just the right size for this type of project.
Also, we have a great selection of scarves, jewelry, new gift items and of course, our fabulous selection of consignment furniture.

New Beginnings
Lois Butler - Tuesday, March 22, 2016
We've had a tease here and there of the warmer weather that is on the way. It's time to shrug off winter's mantle and make way for touches of spring in the air. We've received a ton of new product - pretty candles in aqua and rose, wall art, scarves, pewter and lots of interesting consignment pieces. Have a look at this gallery of arrivals, or better yet, drop by the store for a visit. We're always happy to help.
