Welcome to Paint & Distress!
Interior decorating is a reflection of personality, creativity and distinctive style. It's a form in which people can truly express themselves, and being part of these expressions is a passion of ours! We believe that everyone has the ability to create a one of a kind design concept, so let us be a part of your vision with our timeless furniture and home decor.

Ottawa Home and Remodelling Show 2019
Once again we were invited to participate in the Refreshed Furniture Pop Up at the Home Show. It was another great weekend! We had so much fun meeting everyone who stopped by the booth, and catching up with the other local furniture artists. The highlight of the show had to be our spotlight on CTV news, it was such an incredible opportunity to promote both ourselves and the show!

We're Moving!
We've got some exciting news! We are relocating to our main workshop in South Mountain, which is an 1870's church - talk about character! Having the store in Merrickville has been a fantastic experience but we do hope you will love the chance to see us in action and not just behind a desk! We will still have pieces available for sale which will be listed here on the website and available for viewings by appointment until further notice. The custom refinishing side of the business has really taken off so the move will allow us to really focus on this!
We want to thank everyone who made our time here in Merrickville so successful - it has been an amazing few years! We are so happy about this next chapter and can't wait to show you all some sneak peeks of the new space - so stay tuned!
