Paint it Like New! adds new charm to old pieces In a world where everyone is going green, local business owner Janet Hamilton is more than happy to be doing her part with her new venture in the Burlington area. Paint it Like New!, which opened in spring, offers a brand new approach to furniture re-conditioning and restoration. Paint it Like New! specializes in quality paint re-spraying of indoor and outdoor furniture and doors, such as tables and chairs, Adirondack chairs, kitchen tables and cabinet doors, as well as bedroom headboards, dressers and more. The business caters to both retail and commercial customers, and offers some great value in these challenging economic times. "Environmentally, and from an economic stand-point, this is a great option," said Hamilton from her showroom at 1254 Plains Road East. She points out that many people have old, unused pieces of furniture in their garages or basements that they simply don't know what to do with but can't just throw away. "This allows them to take those items and put their own stamp on it." The idea behind Paint it Like New! is to provide clients with the opportunity to re-cycle, re-use, and re-furbish their collectible furniture conveniently and at a much lower cost than doing it themselves or outright replacing them. Hamilton encourages people to scour garage sales, the Salvation Army, hotel liquidators and their own basements for those one-of-a-kind pieces that simply have had their day. Hamilton, and her already-growing team at Paint it Like New! will breathe new life into each piece of furniture with a new finish and colour. The business exclusively utilizes only Benjamin Moore® low VOC latex paints in its turbine sprayers to ensure high quality and a wide colour selection. To many, Paint it Like New! is seen as a community initiative. Hamilton points out that she works with many local contractors and designers to help produce the best quality work for everyone involved. "Contractors can't always do some of the work as fast as I can, so they bring in their pieces and I will spray them; it's a way to help each other out." Hamilton, who taught herself the art of carpentry and is a self-proclaimed lover of power tools, is a life-long resident of Burlington who has operated two other successful home improvement businesses in the city. Hamilton has created charming room vignettes in the Paint it Like New! showroom giving customers a glimpse of what is possible. From the revamped dining set that would fit perfectly in just about any setting, to the elegant dark grey refurbished headboard that you practically fall in love with the second you lay your eyes on it, one can't help but imagine the possibilities for the basement cast-offs they had once deemed trash. "Anyone can go out and buy all new furniture," says Hamilton. "This allows you to re-use what you have already." With customers spreading all throughout southern Ontario including Niagara, London, Kitchener and the G.T.A, a pickup and delivery service is available upon request. Paint it Like New! is located at 1254 Plains Road East, Unit 1 (just east of the Maple Avenue - Plains Road East intersection).
