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.

So if you like this:

Miss Mustard Seed: Annie Soan Louis Blue and Old White

Or this:

or any of these:

Annie Sloan Provence

Annie Sloan Emperor's Silk with dark wax
