Heatheringtons Home & Gifts

We are truly amazed by the creativity and passion each one of you brings to our Furniture Painting Workshops here in Prescot, Liverpool!

Our most recent session featured the remarkable skills of Angela and Karen, whose work truly shone with a perfect finish. Karen skillfully transformed a chest of drawers using Al Fresco Olivia, complemented by Creme de la Creme and Browning wax to achieve the sought-after Frenchic Oak Hack aesthetic.

Meanwhile, Angela gave new life to her wooden drawer unit using Lazy Range Nougat, showcasing her unique style and flawless finish. The wooden top was then sealed using Frenchic Clear Wax. Both pieces are amazing.

As we dive into the heart of summer, we are taking a short break with our workshops due to all the August events that we will be attending. But fret not, our workshops will be back in September, bursting with new ideas and projects to inspire your creative journey!

Stay tuned for updates on our upcoming workshop.

This weekend was a whirlwind of activity, filled with creativity, delicious food, and quality time with loved ones.

On Saturday, the shop was abuzz with customers. Everybody was enjoying the sun and mostly stocking up on all their Frenchic Paint favourites.

On Sunday, our furniture painting workshop was a hit. We had the lovely Ange and Karen with us this weekend channeling their inner up cyclers. Laughter and conversation filled the room as brushes danced across surfaces, creating truly fantastic work that breathed new life into old furniture.

After a day of creativity, it was time to kick back and relax. with a BBQ and White Wine.. Perfect for unwinding and enjoying the simple pleasures of life.

Monday seen a spontaneous trip for coffee, milkshakes and a little lunch with two of my three kids.

Now back in the shop and prepping for this coming weekend where we will be attending both the Knowsley Feelgood Festival and Knowsley Flower Show. The weather forecast is looking good so should be a fantastic weekend. Pop over and see us on the Gladstone Field

Our lovely customer, Katie has become an upcycling extraordinaire.
She has just completed the 'Oak Hack' on her wooden dresser, and oh my, it looks AMAZING. Katie couldn't believe the transformation with just a little Frenchic Paint Creme De La Creme from the Lazy Range and Frenchic Browning Wax.
Katie is now hooked and ready to give the rest of her furniture a fresh new life!

Happy Sunday

The shop will be closed until Thursday as I am away in Harrogate.

Claire's latest masterpiece!

Claire decided to give her new outdoor planters a captivating makeover using Frenchic Paint Blackjack! 🖤 These pots were lovely, but the colour was missing that kind of magic that black should have - until now! The true black tones of Blackjack have truly transformed them into standout pieces.

Blackjack from the Al Fresco range is the perfect paint to paint any of your outdoor projects. After 48 hours it will be waterproof. Blackjack is also now available in Lazy Range and Wall Paint and Trim Paint ranges. Pop into store to see sample pieces of this fantastic Black.

Taking it back to where it all began with my very first Frenchic Paint project - my front door transformation over 4 years ago! 🎨🏡

From a dull exterior to a vibrant statement piece using Al Fresco Stormy, this makeover was the start of my love affair with Frenchic Paint.❤️ With a few coats of paint is can bring so much character to a space?

Swipe to see the before and after shots and let me know what you think!

Don't underestimate the power of clean paint brushes.

Regular maintenance is key to ensuring your brushes stay in top shape for your next masterpiece. Here's why cleaning them is crucial:

• Preserves quality: Clean brushes ensure that your paint goes on smoothly and evenly, maintaining the integrity of your work.
• Saves money: Extend the life of your brushes by cleaning them properly, saving you from frequent replacements.
• Prevents colour mixing: Avoid unwanted colour blending by keeping your brushes clean and ready for the next hue.
• Professional results: Clean brushes contribute to a professional finish, elevating the overall look of your project.
Take care of your tools, and they'll take care of your Frenchic projects.

To clean your Frenchic Brush, simple clean under the tap of warm running water. Use washing up liquid if you have stubborn paint that is difficult to remove.

Our next workshop is scheduled for Sunday 28th July.

We will be having a little break from workshops over August. We will be launching some new Xmas workshops in September ❤

Today is National Upcycling Day

Upcycling benefits the environment by reducing the pollutants of air, land and water in the processing of new goods – as well as preventing additional natural resources from being used. It also reduces the amount of excess waste which would otherwise end up in landfills.

What items have you upcycled to save from going to landfill?

Are you thinking about giving your front door a fresh new look? Painting your front door is a fantastic way to add a pop of colour and personality to your home.

Here at Heatheringtons Home & Gifts, we're all about helping you make the best choices for your space as Janine from Huyton would agree. After a few samples of various shades in the Al Fresco range, Janine chose a firm favourite, Blackjack. This bold true black is sophisticated, classic and timeless and looks great on show at Janine's home.

Now is an ideal time for all your Al Fresco projects. The weather is above 10 degrees both day and night and with little rain forecasted we can certainly tackle all those outdoor jobs over the next few weeks.
