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.
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.

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!
You can find all the details in our Tabletop Catalogue under Serving Utensils.

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.

Have you had enough of winter yet? I know I have.
During winter many of us tend to spend more time indoors browsing magazines and internet sites like Pinterest, resulting in a critical eye when it comes to our own home. We feel the urge to refresh, redecorate, or declutter our living space. As you are working towards simplifying and reordering your space, maybe you will find a few furniture pieces that you would like to sell.

From the start, our Consignment Service, has been a very successful venture. We have many satisfied buyers and sellers as quality pieces move from one home to another. Right now we are particularly interested in smaller tables and storage pieces but we are still open to dining room sets and larger cabinets. These pieces are often sold just as they come into the store, but they are great candidates for "upstyling" and "repurposing"too.
Upstyling: Paint Techniques Repurposing: Kitchen to Entry Way
Just send pictures of your items to consignment@loisbutler.com. Please don't automatically decide that "they won't want this". Just send your pictures and we will let you know what we are able to take.
This past year has been an interesting journey for us as we have expanded the scope of our business to include furniture consignment, custom woodwork, furniture transformations through painting techniques, and now painting classes (class schedule soon to be published). All of these additions have been the result of our improved and enlarged location at 294 Lakeshore. So feel free to come and browse anytime as stock rotates quickly and the some items hardly make it to the showroom before a very speedy exit transpires.
I'll end with a sample gallery of consignment, created, and transformed furniture that has passed through our doors.
Have a Happy and Healthy New Year and good luck with your decorating plans!

Our new APC paint has arrived! Our shelves are stocked with a broad, fresh colour palette of all natural, earth friendly products.

You can "UPSTYLE" any preloved furniture making it ready to endure and enjoy again.
The paint adheres to many surfaces, including wood, plastic, glass, and more. It is durable enough for the dining room table, and safe enough for a baby's bed. APC offers a zero VOC, eco-friendly, solvent free, acrylic-free paint that contains no fungicide or co-polymers! No chemicals, no worries!
The chalk/clay/mineral paints are thick, rich and self priming. You can thin it or use it straight - all natural and easy to apply.
We carry amazing colours and can teach you layering techniques, distressing techniques, and other finishes that will extend the possibilities.

The waxes and topcoat finishes are also all natural, non-toxic and have no odour.
APC waxes lead the industry and are the choice of professional refinishers. Imagine being able to use these products in your own home without the worry of chemical fumes! Every option offered is a breathable, healthy, alternative to other products on the market today.
These paint and finishing products are so easy to use and we are here to help YOU.
We are planning classes in January so grab a friend or two and join us for a little bit of Paint Therapy. Stay tuned for more details and leave your name at the store to let us know you're interested. You can also just Send a Message to be added to the list.

Explore Paint on the main menu bar. You will find the permanent links to paint products, brushes, sealers, APC Overview, and APC Colour Book.
