Learn how to give a second life to an old piece of furniture!<\/h2>\n

Do you have an old piece of furniture that you wish to give a second life? Well with Colorantic chalk-based paint, it’s not only possible but easy!<\/p>\n

In May 2020, Red Lips and Coffee Sips was talking about Colorantic paint in a blog post.<\/a><\/p>\n

In summary, Nadia Aubin, creator of Red Lips and Coffee Sips, suggested that we develop new skills during a pandemic. However, it seems that we have done the round of spring cleaning! So why not give a second life to an old piece of furniture in need of love rather than making banana bread!<\/p>\n

She praises our chalk based paint and in addition, mentions that it is made in Quebec! \u00a0Indeed, it is a must for local purchasing.<\/p>\n

In short, before embarking on a furniture upgrading project, read this article. Not only does it perfectly summarize the steps for using our paint, but they are also simple to understand.<\/p>\n

Good Reading!<\/p>\n

As we all know, we were forced to put our lives on hold for an indefinite time. From hoarding our home with toilet paper to becoming a head pastry chef by making banana bread and learning a new language; the idea of killing time and learning new skills is not what’s missing. I’m sure you cleaned every inch of your home, yet if you’re looking for a new project, I might have something for you.<\/p>\n

Give some of your old furniture a second and colourful life.<\/h3>\n

Think of a boring and sad-looking dresser you’ve been thinking of putting on the curb. Why not hold on to this thought and awake your inner Picasso for the day?<\/p>\n

All you need is a brush, some type of blanket to avoid getting paint on your floor and of course, the paint itself.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a specific type, Colorantic<\/strong><\/u><\/a> is a chalk-based paint that is non-toxic and gives a nice chalky matte finish. Plus you’d be doing Mother Nature a favour as the brand prides itself on being eco-friendly. Indeed, instead of using the traditional metal container, Colorantic<\/strong> uses plastic pots with resealable lids in order to preserve the paint. If you need a tad more convincing, the brand is not only Canadian but is made in Quebec! Talk about supporting a local business.<\/p>\n

And before you start sweating, you should know it only takes 30 minutes for the paint to dry; perfect to apply a second coat in a reasonable amount of time. That being said, it would be safe to affirm that little project of yours won’t be too much time-consuming and offers a wide range of colours (32 chalk based paint colours, 5 metallic shades, 4 glitter colours, 4 glazes, and 5 waxes) perfect for any type of projects that might come in your way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n
