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.

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.

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.  

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.

 

  

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. 

 

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.  

We are just loving our new line of pewter serving pieces.  Fun, durable and perfect for use indoors or out.  Best of all, it is proudly handcrafted in Pugwash, Nova Scotia, Canada!

Have you got a corner just begging for an update?  How about making it into a sweet spot to relax, have a cup of tea, read a book, catch up on your email, or plan life's next big adventure. 

Create the look with this cute upholstered chair and ottoman.  Add a comfy green lumbar pillow, a metal fretwork table, a beautiful white ceramic lamp, a classic white teapot and a vintage coral cup and saucer.  Completing the look is a rustic wall shelf and a green ceramic lantern with everlasting floral picks.

Come and take a look at this vignette and many other recent arrivals.  Here's a quick overview.

We have also updated our purses and scarves.  Here's a sample.

Comfortable indoor spaces become more of a focus during the wintery months and now that our seasonal decor has been tucked back into its box, many homes need a shot of colour and an extra dash of cosy.  It might be time for a new look!  

Soft or bold, rustic or refined, the choice is yours.

If you have a space that is looking a bit tired, now is the perfect opportunity for you to carve out a little personal, creative time.  Enter DIY season where we Canadians hunker down to declutter, DIY, and redecorate!  Our new line of furniture paint makes this type of "up styling" very easy.  It is also an economical and eco-friendly approach.  

Enroll now in our Beginner Workshop - Paint Basics and you will learn how to create the painted finishes that are so popular and inviting.
