Today, I am so excited to share with you that one of those dreams on my board became reality. For years I’ve had a brochure for Habitat for Humanity pinned to my vision board with no idea what this might look like, but I knew that I wanted to be a part of… to help others “Create a Beautiful Life,” said Thachuk.
20 tickets are available for the event, which will allow people to makeover one of the beautiful furniture pieces currently for sale at Habitat with the globally recognized Chalk Paint ™ by Annie Sloan.

Established in 2003, the Passionate Home is located in the quaint McBurney Plaza area of Downtown Langley, British Columbia. The shop is filled with re-purposed, vintage and chic one-of-a-kind furniture and home decor pieces with a touch of French Country that delights clients with whimsical charm. Nestled among the custom, restyled furniture pieces are also giftware by local artisans, jewellery designers, luxurious soaps and lotions, original artwork and vintage flea market finds.
Habitat for Humanity ReStores are home and building supply stores that accept and resell quality new and used building materials. Shopping at a Habitat ReStore is a socially and environmentally conscious decision, as funds generated are used to fund local Habitat for Humanity home building projects and much of what is sold, is product that is new, gently used or customer returns would otherwise end up in a landfill.
There are 3 ways to participate:
as a painter - shake loose your creativity
as a shopper - help make a difference in your community
as a spectator - watch and learn
See you there!

Have you ever heard of a vision board? A visual representation of your visions for the future, pictures of your goals and dreams. Today I am excited to share with you that one of those dreams on my board have become a reality. For years I have had a brochure for Habitat for Humanity pinned to my vision board. When I pinned it there, I had no idea what this might look like but I knew that I wanted to be a part of improving the lives of others, to creating happy, safe homes for others…to help others “Create a Beautiful Life”.
I don’t remember what it was specifically that sparked this particular idea but I was sharing the idea of teaming up with Habitat with a lifelong friend and low and behold she knew someone who knew someone and my idea came to life!
I met with Jeanette Martin, Building Service Coordinator and Fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity Upper Fraser Valley and together we have created “The Passionate Restore”!
First of its kind, The Passionate Restore is a unique event. On April 21st, there will be only 20 tickets available allowing people to makeover one of the beautiful furniture pieces currently for sale at Habitat with the globally recognized Chalk Paint ™ by Annie Sloan. With the assistance of one of The Passionate Home paint experts, you will be guided on how to recreate your piece of furniture into a show stopper worthy of raising the much appreciated funds to contribute to building homes in the Upper Fraser Valley. Once finished, masterpieces will be judged by three celebrity judges and will go up for sale with all proceeds going towards the construction of partnership homes.
This is a great opportunity to give back to the community or plan a team building exercise, as well as to shop at Habitat the day of the event and take home a one of a kind creation. Thanks to the sponsorship of Tara Gentles, Mortgage Expert DLC Canadian Mortgage Experts, the event will also include a free kid’s sign making workshop. This fun custom workshop, led by one of our TPH team members will encourage and guide your young artists using Chalk Paint™.

Add a Little Whimsy and Chalk Paint™!
Jan 11, 2018
So you might love a vintage piece for its look, function, value, nostalgia, and history or “just because.” I think my blood pressure went up a tick at the sight of this spectacular desk, and probably for a combination of all of the above reasons.
*
The secretary desk goes by several aliases: secretaire, bureau, and even escritoire. No matter what you call it, this charming, multipurpose piece of furniture can be used in infinite ways in every room of your house.
Tuck a secretary into a little-used corner of your home, add a comfy chair, and voilà, you’ve got yourself a mini home office or a reading nook—or both. It takes up relatively little space thanks to their small footprints, and can hold items galore, from table linens to barware to your stationery collection. The fold-away tabletop allows cluter to be hidden away when closed and is large enough to use for your laptop when open.

Samantha was the luck lady who got to pick up the brush for this piece!
This bureau was very scratched and in rough shape.
The only preperation that needed to be done was to clean. Samantha washed it down with a damp cloth. No sanding or priming is needed with the Chalk Paint™ by Annie Sloan!
The first coat was done in an Olive and Pure White Mix.
Samantha then layered Pure White over the Olive mix.
Once all dried, she disstressed with a combination of wet and dry techniques.
She finished with Clear Chalk Paint™ Wax and the tiniest amount
of Black Wax to highlight the beautiful detail.
The inside was left in the Olive and Pure White Chalk Paint™ mix for a
nice contrast againts the white.
We are so happy with the end result.

This piece is looking for a good home...
