OAKVILLE BEAVER Friday, May 1, 2009 · 24 HOME AND GARDEN Transform your home with paint Your home. Your cottage. Your business. With our without realizing it, each place brings qualities unique to yourself and your life. Ever day consultants at The Paint and Paper Place are welcomed into the homes and lives of customers to give advice and recommendations. Combining colour and décor ideas are our passion! We genuinely believe that every project, even if it's the first inkling of inspiration, should begin and end at the paint store. Come in our door or give us a call. Bring your thoughts, clippings, fabric swatches, favourite painting or the 'thing' that inspired your idea. We'll help you create a personal colour palette. This palette can include colours for walls, accents, wallpaper, accessories, furniture and draperies. Wouldn't it be great to have a colour plan in place before you go shopping? If your time is limited, we offer colour fandecks and wallpaper books to take home. We also offer large paint chips and tester pots of paint available for purchase. Each store has colour consultants who offer at-home services through private appointments. This service is becoming a very popular gift for housewarmings, birthdays or Mother's Day. Paint can lend an amazing transformation to old pieces. This is essential when the economy is tight we still want to indulge and have new things. An old bookcase can be revived with some mouldings tacked to the top. Sand, prime, paint and back the cabinet with gorgeous wallpaper, your piece will be envied. If you have an antique side table that has sentimental value but it doesn't belong anywhere, cut down the legs by three inches, paint it a soft pink, and you have a cherished, beautiful desk for a little girl. Don't let big elements become out of budget to replace. If the brick fireplace is overwhelming or distracting to your family room, then paint it. If your staircase is weathered and aged, get a contemporary espresso or slate colour for the handrail and then paint the pickets white. Wow, what an immediate inexpensive update.
