STORE CLOSURE

It is with a heavy heart that effective immediately after over 6 years in business Suite Serendipity has closed its doors permanently.

We are very sorry for the short notice but almost all the inventory had been sold out prior to this so there was no point in remaining open any longer. This decision has not been an easy one, but new adventures are underway, and they say sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same. You can visit my art page Melissa May Art to keep tabs on what happens next

Thank you simply doesn’t cover the gratitude I have for our customers for the loyal support over the years. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve said how lucky I am to have such wonderful people for customers. You are the reason Suite Serendipity was a success for as long as it was, and you will never be forgotten. I have made wonderful friendships with many of you and that to me, is the best part of it all.

If you are in need of sample pots, we do have a few in various colours, also Cavallini papers, and General Finishes High Performance Sealer so please PM us for any requests.

Thank you again, I have so many great memories that I will cherish forever

How gorgeous is this? I do love the soft neutrals in this space

Green Spruce Designs entire home is beautiful; and her working environment is no exception. Chalk Paint® in Pure is a great calming base shade in what could otherwise be quite a frantic space. No wonder she gets so much work done! Disclaimer: I could still be distracted working from this home office.

Stunning!

After Sandy took a workshop with Painter In Residence Ildiko Horvath, she knew she had the perfect piece to transform with the techniques she learned that day. Sandy started with a base coat of Graphite followed by layers of Provence, and a mix of Provence and Pure White, highlighted with Pure White, and finished off to perfection with black and white waxes. I think she has done Ildiko proud!

Sandy attends workshops regularly at The Painted Bench in Hamilton Ontario; https://www.anniesloan.com/stockists/north-america/canada/the-painted-bench-983

What a beautiful venue for a gorgeous wedding! The mother of the groom, had a big hand in pulling this together and had us help with the stencil and paint on the donut board, which we heard was a hit with the guests. What else can we paint with Annie Sloan??

If it's cold and wintery where you are, warm up with inspiration from this cabinet transformation. With a blending of dreamy blues and a sunny inside, it feels like a warm day near the ocean!

Julie Bissell from "Chalk it up to Julie" in Ottawa gave this pine cabinet a bright new life using a mixture of fun, bold Chalk Paint™ shades. First, a mixture of 2:1 Napoleonic Blue and Florence was used as a base, followed up with a blending of Provence to add depth and personality. Annie Sloan's Bright Gold Gilding Wax was used to highlight the beautiful details on the top and bottom of the cabinet. And that lovely pop of colour on inside -- Arles, of course! Check out all of Julies work at; https://www.instagram.com/chalkituptojulie/

Julie stops by Malenka Originals in Ottawa to talk to stockist Katrina Barclay and her team for ideas and to buy Annie Sloan products.

What a beautiful transformation our customer Monique Michaud has made in her kitchen. She’s painted those common old oak we all see so much of, in Annie Sloan French Linen/Old White combination. Beautiful work Monique! If you are thinking about updating your kitchen, give us a call or stop in for expert advice!
