The House&Canvas retail location in Burlington, Ontario is slowly, but surely coming together. Right now, I have bizzillion pieces of tired furniture in the shop that are in need of a fresh coat of paint. I’ve been painting like a mad woman these last couple of weeks. My entire right arm is absolutely throbbing!!! But I’m not complaining. I’m in my happy place, doing what I love.

Honestly, the hardest part about painting all this furniture is picking out the chalk paint color!! It’s so hard to commit!!! I’ve been on Pinterest for hours each night just finding inspiration. Are you following House&Canvas on Pinterest?? Don’t worry if you’re not, because all this “pinning” has given me an idea.

Starting today, I am going to be doing a series of inspirational blog posts strictly for choosing furniture paint colours. Over the next couple of weeks, each post is going to be a new furniture colour filled with ideas and inspiration.

I’ll pin everything on House&Canvas pinterest boards for reference.

Deciding on the first colour to feature is EASY! I’m going with my favourite…. RED! Why is red my fav? Because although it’s quite an intimidating colour, it can usually match any decor.
