New Year, New Decade!

It's been quiet on the blog front but behind the scenes we have been busy as bees reinventing
the Queensbridge Mill.

Every new year always presents new possibilities and we take the first few weeks of January to set the sails for our new direction in decorating. It always starts with choosing new colour palettes. With over 50 colours painted on the walls, we create our rooms of inspiration based upon the colour palettes of The Paintcafe, our signature paint line.

This year is particularly exciting as the start of the new decade coincides with the launch of our new colour system from Laurentide. It's called SIMPLE. The collection flows from bright, vibrant hues to subtle, muted tones. Talk about possibilities! Yet choosing the perfect palette has never been easier with the SIMPLE approach to colour selection.

To make colour coordination easy, the Simple collection is comprised of 8 different "Atmospheres". An icon identifies each atmosphere on the paint deck. To create a designer palette or perfect colour harmony, combine colours featuring the same icon. It's that SIMPLE!

Laurentide which is a 70 year old, Quebec based paint company never ceases to impress us with its evolution. Last year, we introduced their recycled paint, BOOMERANG. Laurentide is the number one manufacturer and distributor of recycled paint in NORTH AMERICA. No small feat! And it's Canadian! Boomerang consist of a palette of 16 premixed colours and is only $15.99 a gallon. This makes refreshing a room with colour so affordable while at the same time being environmentally friendly.

We are proud to support this amazing Canadian company!
