ShabbyAnd…
is delighted to announce we are the first in the UK to install a specialised
paint-mixing machine, making us the first main stockist of Autentico Paint.
We have
invested £12,000 to import a special Autentico Tinting Machine from the
Netherlands.
We are
already well known for lovingly up-cycling shabby chic furniture for clients,
as well as selling it with unique household accessories, gifts and cards at 35a
Barfield Road, West Mersea. ShabbyAnd… ,
which was shortlisted in the Essex Business Awards, was already the star dealer
in Essex for the Autentico chalk paint.
The special
installation means our shop, which draws shabby chic enthusiasts from across
the region, will be able to offer all 150 Autentico colours in all of the six
ranges, providing customers a better service.
‘It’s very
exciting to be the first business in Britain to have an Autentico Tinting
Machine and to be able to produce the full colour range on demand,’ said
ShabbyAnd…’s owner, Ann Beament.
We now stock
the base colours and our new machine means that if someone comes into the shop
and asks for any of the 150 colours in the six Autentico chalk paint ranges, we
will be able to mix the colour they want at the touch of a button.
‘It will
also save on transportation costs and make us commercially more viable and
versatile, as well reducing our carbon footprint,’ added Ann.
ShabbyAnd… now stocks all of the six product
ranges of Autentico paint in all 150 colours. Autentico paints are waterbased
eco – friendly chalk & Lime paints, used for up-cycling furniture as well
as for walls both internally and externally.
The
eco-friendly business was awarded a Carbon Footprint Grant from ‘Grants For
Growth’ towards the cost of the purchase of the Autentico Tinting Machine.
Autentico
has also extended ShabbyAnd…’s selling catchment area from five miles to a
twenty miles radius.
You can place orders for ShabbyAnd… goods via
their website http://www.shabbyand.co.uk or in their
shop.
