Large Paint Swatches byBenjamin Moore

Monday, June 27th, 2011

It is hugely confusing to try to pick a paint color from the enormous selection that you are usually given at paint shops. Even if you take the teeny strip home, for most people it is hard to visualize what it would look like on a whole wall. How many of you had to repaint a wall or a room because you just could not live with the paint color when it dried?

Benjamin Moore has a solution. You can buy large squares (18″ x 18″) of the color from their designer collection series (CC) for only $4.99. Put it up  and move it around to different walls in the room to see how the color will look in the morning or afternoon light.

If those colors are not what you were considering, then you can buy little (236 ml) tester pots in any of the colors for the same $4.99. Paint it on, let it dry and see if you like it. Easy.

In their new line of paint with the low VOC rating, you can ask for any of the colors to be made up in a larger sample size (500 ml.) for $8.99. This size is perfect for touch up years after you’ve done a room.

Tester colors are always provided in the egghell finish.

New this year are tester pots for Arborcoat deck and siding stains which are also a low VOC line.

For those of you who loved oil-based paint (which have been discontinued),  you can buy the new Advance line waterbased alkyde interior paint which comes in a pearl and high gloss finish . Like oil-based paints used to be, it is very very scrubbable and more durable for those areas that need this.

You can get these testers at the two helpful paint stores below, The Hub in the West Island and City Paints downtown:

You can pick up these tester swatches at  the Hub, a paint and hardware store that has an old-timey neighborhood feel outside and inside it reaffirms what shopping should be. Sure it’s a hardware store (some plumbing, gardening too) with personalized service but the raison d’etre these days is the bubbly decorating consultant who offers you a cappuccino and steers you through any decorating dilemmas (can even come to your house if needed). There’s Benjamin Moore paint, tons of wallpaper books, fabrics for curtains, blinds & shutters, Richelieu hardware, supplies to do the project, or even her little black book of experts to do it all for you.

Locations: 441 boul. Beaconsfield, Beaconsfield (514-695-3389); 3460 boul. des Sources (514-421-1454).
Hours: Mon-Wed 8:30-6, Thurs 8-8, Fri & Sat 8-5, Sun 12-5
www. hubhardware.ca

City Paints is is Montreal’s oldest paint store, open since 1898. Name brands sold here are Benjamin Moore and Mythic, along with stains and varnishes and tons of brushes. They don’t carry the squares from the designer collection but the do have ones for the Mythic line. Tester pots are here though.

Yes, they’ve got the color matching computer, and low VOC, no VOC and the only VOC paint without toxins (Mythic), but it is the service, the good old-fashioned kind, that has kept people coming back for generations from all over the city. If it’s good enough for the Mulroneys, it’s good enough for you.

corner: Hotel de Ville

Hours: (Mar-Oct) Mon-Wed 7:30-5, Thurs & Fri 730-8,  Sat 9-4, Sun 11-4;  (Nov-Feb) Mon-Fri 7:30-5, Sat 9-4

Le Supermarche Mourelatos

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011

image003

In 1956 Peter Mourelatos opened up his first little food shop at 262 Mont-Royal est near Henri Julien. Today he is the proud papa of not only 4 big Mourelatos supermarkets, but kids and grandkids who work in the business alongside him.

Its flavour might be Greek (it’s the only place I know where you can buy gyro meat by the pound at the deli counter), but the good prices on fresh meat and vegetables here have been attracting everyone in the neighborhood for the past 55 years. It’s my favorite market for price and helpful service.

The homemade tsatsiki, yogurt and Greek feta will tempt you along with the 15 kinds of olive oil, rose petals in syrup, frozen octopus and stuffed vine leaves, but it’s the friendly service that has made it possible for this family business to keep their customers coming back all these years.

The West Island store has recently been renovated, and it is a pleasure to shop in.

Other locations: 4919 Notre-Dame ouest, Laval  (450-681-4300); 4957 boul. St-Jean (514-620-4200); Ville St-Laurent, 1855 O’Brien (514-956-0100); 1621 Ste-Catherine ouest (514-904-0300).   www.mourelatos.com

Startup Festival – Making Money Online

Saturday, June 18th, 2011

Ya think if you have a great idea for an internet business, it’s a get-rich  quick scheme. Well it could be – if you only knew how to make it happen.

The International Startup Festival is a two-day conference for people who want to begin an online business presence and then some. So you learn not only how to start up but how to exit – and everything else in between.

The entrepreneur needs to learn essential steps, frameworks, and learn the resources that can help (like how to stay lean, or how to manage investors, what’s an incubator,  mobil experts, social networking, and perhaps even gaming)  and most importantly, the art of planning the selling of the business.

The conference brings together industry veterans and fresh faces, thought leaders and technology giants from around the world. You’ll hear from the likes of:

– Marc Gingas  in his first public presentation since Tungle’s acquisition by Resarch in Motion
– Sean Ellis – Founder & CEO – Freejit,
– Dave McClure- Investor – 500startups.com
– and a keynote by Chris Shipley,  Co-founder & CEO of GuideWire Group

Iternational Startup Festival 2011
Location: Old Montreal
Dates Wed, July 13  6 PM – Fri, July 15 at 12 PM

Tras Can Fix Office Chairs

Saturday, June 18th, 2011

Recently I had to fix my Obus Forme office chair and discovered that the used office furniture places were a good place to get this done. Tras on the West Island made my chair feel like new. I should’ve done this a long time ago.

Besides this repair service, Tras is  probably the largest used (and new) office furniture warehouse in the city, so you can find everything you need at great prices – or sell to them. There are 1,000’s of chairs, desks and matching credenzas, bookcases, phone systems, conference tables and whole matching systems. The Steelcase filing cabinets (2-5 drawer) come with lock & key and without dents. Ask too about the 50% off liquidated clearances of new furniture.

Location: 70G Boul. Brunswick, DDO
corner: Bancroft
