The Edmonton classes run from 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM and lunch + all materials are included.

Here is the class description:

You’ve probably seen distressed furniture pieces with a hand-rubbed lustre and velvety matte finish and thought, “I could do that!”. Well, now is your chance to put that thought into action! This class teaches everything you need to know to create the look at a fraction of the cost. Students will learn the basics of applying one or two colours of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, different distressing techniques, and the proper application of Annie Sloan Soft Wax. Each student will leave with six different, beautiful samples and the expertise to finish a piece of furniture at home.

.

Then, when you have all those mad skills under your brush, stop in at Apple Box Boutique for Annie Sloan chalk paint, wax, brushes, polishing cloths and all the accessories you need to get started on your spring project!

and don't forget the code!  HGBONUS

Happy Painting!

Dreaming in Colour at the Home and Garden Show

When Apple Box Boutique decided to pursue the opportunity to carry the exclusive Annie Sloan Chalk Paint line (ASCP), we began an exciting business relationship with Tara Jamieson of Lauren Lane Decor, an AS Stockist and our supplier. Tara championed our involvement and we are very excited to announce that this "Vintage Vixen" will be on stage at the Edmonton Home show demonstrating the how-tos of reinventing furniture using ASCP, not to mention rubbing shoulders with the likes of Ty Pennington and Bryan Baeumler!

To quote the Home and Garden Show website, Tara "will demonstrate how the right techniques, a little patience and Annie Sloan Chalk Paint can keep your furniture out of the landfill and add character to your space. Following the stage presentation you will be invited to get a closer look at her work and if you're up for it, pick up a brush and try it for yourself."

It is a great opportunity to learn about the process and even try your hand at it before stopping in at Apple Box Boutique for everything you need to start on your own 'home show'.

Located in Edmonton`s historic Highlands at 6507 - 112 Avenue, we carry all 29 paint colours (mixed, that`s hundreds), clear and dark waxes, the brushes, how-to books and related supplies.
