Old Espresso, cool, calm, earthy and sophisticated
Regular price $0.00
Tax included.
Old Espresso is fast becoming popular through all of our retailers nationwide and it's not surprising given the versatility that this Artisan neutral provides. When we crafted this colour, we really thought long and hard about what makes a beautiful brown, after all it is a "brown" we were creating. End Result, Artisan Old Espresso is so so much more than just a brown...
We crafted this colour with NZ interiors and landscapes in mind, using multiple pigments to balance the tone, depth & richness. We wanted to create a calm, earthy neutral brown that would easily slot into any interior space. We went down the path of crafting a cool earthy brown using multiple pigments to craft a unique sophisticated depth, it's a brown that can be restful and calming. A tone that could easily be altered through coloured waxes in terms of warming it up or deepening it further.
Available in the full range, Velvet Luxe, indoor outdoor, smooth self levelling (no wax or lacquer required) it sits as a stunning cool earthy sophisticated brown that is easy on the eye and reflects the NZ landscape and scenery pulling the outdoors in (see the background colour of the image what Old Espresso would look like in Velvet Luxe ), you can pair it with both silver or gold and when it comes to dressing around it, it works with most colours in soft furnishing whether it be cool or warm it's super versatile and you can interpret this colour in both a contemporary or classic way in the home.
The "pictagram" shows Old Espresso Premium Chalk Paint finished simply with clear wax in the background this neutral will deepen a lot further with clear wax and reacts beautifully to light and shadow.
The top right shows a wooden swatch painted in Artisan Calicut with an Old Espresso coloured wax, a great alternative to dark wax for those who are looking to age with a cooler tone. Used as an ageing wax its subtle and elegant not too vintage... and is a great one to consider when ageing lighter neutrals.
Then you have the two Pebbles both painted in Old Espresso and deepened with Carbon Black coloured wax and dark wax. The carbon black wax provides a contemporary edge and deepens it right down, while the dark wax provides a beautiful richness and warmth to it.
The branch in the bottom right has been painted in Old Espresso with Calicut coloured wax, creating a washed wood look, these two combination work really well for creating an earthy faux wood look especially on textured paint finishes.
Then you have the the scroll painted in Soft Gold Metallic Creme then aged with Old Espresso Wax it pairs beautifully with Old Espresso giving it a luxe edge but in saying this silver will also work well and would add more of a contemporary element to it.
This one Pictagram shows you multiple ways you can use this colour, how it adjusts and changes with different coloured waxes as well as showing you the colour as it is... if there was one versatile neutral to have in your decorative painting kit, it's Old Espresso for all of it's versatility...

Brush paint in all directions, loading generously then spread the paint out.
If a second coat is required apply the second coat by brushing in all directions in areas that need filling.
Once dry, lightly sand any unnatural textures ensuring you allow the brush strokes and subtle texture to remain.
Coloured wax:
Mix Carbon Black and Clear wax together to create your Carbon Black wax, brushing in all directions brush over your Olea paint finish in sections, then gently wipe the excess off with a lint-free rag until you have covered all of the premium chalk paint in carbon black wax

TIP: Remember if you're finding your coloured wax too strong in areas, use clear wax back over the areas where you would like to remove or subdue the carbon black wax. (Usually, in areas you would like to create a highlight). This will pull back your coloured wax and expose more of the Olea underneath to create depth and interest.

One Technique - 4 Different Looks
Regular price $0.00
Tax included.
Learning one simple Artisan Paint technique can open the doors to a myriad of Artisan paint finishes. With the wide range of crafted artisan colours available, 67 to be exact means you can combine and adjust the colours and create a colourway to suit your interior space. . Today we want to highlight how one simple technique, can be used to create 4 different looks and more.
First let's take a look at the following Video showing a basic Artisan paint, wash and lacquer in Ruby Glass in action, and then how this can be interpreted in different colourways. Then below we will talk about how this works with different colours and colourways.
Looks pretty simple right, it is! a few key pointers below for you before we delve into it further .
What can I create this finish on?
The finish was created with our Premium Chalk Paint range which means with it's unique ability to adhere to pretty much any surface without sanding or priming allows you to create this finish on pretty much any surface.
Paint Messy
Our Premium Chalk Paint has a FLOWplus technology which means it will allow you to brush and keep brushing over it to perfectly create your texture and in this case you want to paint in every which way with your Staalmeester series 2020 to create your texture. Don't paint one way, don't paint neat, paint a little messy... do-able right?
Make sure your base paint finish has good full coverage, as this base needs to be worked further. 2 good coats is required then leave to completely dry. With Premium Chalk Paint we're talking anywhere from 30mins to 1 hour depending on the environment.
Create your Wash
A wash is in basic terms a diluted premium chalk paint colour that will allow you to create a gentle hue and semi transparent layer of colour
Dilute and create your wash in your premium chalk paint colour of choice, bearing in mind that if you have a lighter base like an Artisan white and your wash of choice is as an example is a dark grey; start off with a high dilution with water to make your wash more subtle to start with. In general darker colours will need to be diluted more to be subtle and suitable over a light colour but if you want a strong darker coloured wash to overpower a strong base colour then dilute it less. No nasties, when it comes to diluting and creating your wash. Just simply add water to your premium chalk paint colour to create a runny dye like consistency
TIP: Mix your wash and then try it out on your paint finish first to gage what it will look like , then adjust to suit if needed by adding more paint or water and reapply to test it out.
Brush your wash on and rag off blending as you go TIP: Make sure your rag is white, lint free and that it's been folded into a smooth pad, if your rag is wrinkled in your hand you will transfer those wrinkles in your wash effect ( unless that is the intention)
TIP: If you find your wash is too strong in areas on your piece or you want to highlight areas so that the base colour comes through more; simply dip your brush in plain water and brush over the area you would like to lighten/remove and wipe back, this works like an eraser allow you to work the wash effect until you are happy with it -
GLOSS LACQUER
When you apply Artisan lacquer everything is sealed and set but until that point you can work the paint effect until you are happy. Apply your Artisan gloss lacquer either with a Staalmeester roller or flat brush keep this linear and neat. For a seamless gloss look apply 2 coats of gloss lacquer as you are bound to miss areas on the first coat. Keep each coat nice and thin.
NOW that we've run through the basics of the technique and some tips we have some examples below to show; you are not limited to just one wash. With this one technique you can do multiple colour washes over each other for different effects so lets take a closer look
White and bright with depth and gloss
To Recreate this: 
TIP: When doing multiple washes, make sure each wash is bone dry before you do the next one, a secondary wash should be mixed to be a little stronger to allow it overpower the primary wash if it is a lighter colour/netural.
In this case highly diluted Clubhouse grey to be a subtle wash over Beluga white. Focus on the areas you want to create shadow and make stronger in this wash like edges and corners. At this point your piece may be looking a little grey, but once you do you your next wash in Crisp White it will whiten back up again. In order for your crisp white wash to be more dominant and overpower the Clubhouse grey, this mix should be diluted less and stronger when compared with the Clubhouse grey wash. Once you are happy with the layers of washes seal with Artisan gloss lacquer for that lustrous white finish with grey hues and undertones.
Lets take a look at the next one in blues : 
Recreate this look by painting in Bach Blue and colour washing in Duck Egg, when you go to dilute Old Denim make sure to dilute with plenty of water as Old Denim can over power both Bach Blue and Duck Egg very quickly. TIP: The order of your washes and the level of dilution with water plays a big part in the end result. EG) the same colours done in reverse will create something completely different
Now if you're feeling super creative you can do even more than just two washes take a look at the below
Recreate this look with: 
Get super with creative with multiple washes. With this look, start off with painting your base coat of Hokitika Gorge, wash with Forget Me Not and then Toulouse. At this point you would have created a gorgeous blue with plenty of depth as a base. With the next colour washes Cape Reinga and Clubhouse Grey, place only in selected areas and blend out with your rag to shape and shadow. Remember to allow your washes to dry in between layers and if you ever get any patchiness or if you want to remove or blend, just a little water on your brush back over the area with a wipe with a lint free rag will allow you to do so.
The Artisan technique of painting a base colour, then diluting colours to do a wash followed by Artisan gloss lacquer is wonderful Artisan technique that can be done in many many colourways to suit your interiors and is hard wearing finish even suitable for floors. From Blacks with earthy tones to Greens with blue tones. It's a simple finish to achieve with a little know how around the technique and the end result can be spectacular the more adventurous you get.
Create something bespoke with character and depth. Draw colours from your interior space and gently layer those colours with with this technique for a custom piece. The finish can be interpreted to be more contemporary or classic depending on the range of Artisan colours you use. A balance of texture and depth balanced off with a touch of luxe through a high shine lustrous glossy surface. A formula for the perfect visual balance and with every component playing a part, from the texture to the gentle coloured washes to the high gloss finish and although we say the same technique can be done to create 4 different looks. The reality is, the possibilities of creating various different looks with different colourways are truly endless.

One way to use Esmeralde
Regular price $0.00
Tax included.
Earlier in the week we showed you three stunning greens from the Vintro colour range, today we are showing you one of the ways you could use Esmeralde. Bright colours like Esmeralde are often viewed as "retro" or "poppy" however with Vintro Coloured waxes over them they can be deepened & toned down like in the picture, softened to create a beachy look with white coloured waxes or aged with earthy toned waxes for a french inspired look or if you like it bright and modern a simple clear wax to retain the stunning highly pigmented colour. Esmeralde also looks particularly luxe when paired with metallic gold. Here is some inspiration for your Friday on how you could use Esmeralde. Visit your Vintro Stockist this weekend and experience the wide range of stunning highly pigmented Vintro colours and coloured waxes, there is a huge & wide creative scope when it comes to Luxury DIY with Vintro and our retailers have a wealth of knowledge waiting to be shared with you.

Outdoor glass and metal table transformed in Artisan Stone and Metallic Alchemy (Video Included)
Regular price $0.00
Tax included.
We love this extreme transformation of your very common kiwi outdoor table, you can still purchase these new at The Warehouse or Mitre 10. Not very stylish, but functional, sometimes you can find them discarded at the second hand or op shop for little to nothing. You know the ones... glass top, metal legs and some type of plastic discs through the centre.
We wanted to take something that wasn't overly stylish, carved or curvy and show how you can still add Artisan Flair to even the plainest piece with a bit of vision. From plain and common to feature table with strong Artisan Flair and we have a video below for you to see how this one was done make sure you read some of the "pointers" below the Video too.
When there's little to no prep, Artisanal products that are fast drying with low VOCS anything is possible, your limited only by your imagination...
What we did:
Hand Painted the legs and frame of the table in Indie Gold
Glass Table top in Stone Effects in Elephant Dust
Plastic discs in Clubhouse Grey Premium Chalk Paint and Arcadian Silver
Tools used
100mm Stone Effects Spreading Tool
Staalmeester Angled Fitch Brush
Some pointers to take note of after watching the video:
With Artisan Metallic Alchemy when using the Illuminator + Metallic Concentrate, use The Staalmeester "one" series. These are super soft bristles allowing for beautiful flawless metallic finishes.
Stone Effects: although in most cases, Artisan Lacquers are not neccesary, when it comes to creating table tops or benches, coffee table tops, anything thats going to get used really hard and need regular wiping and cleaning, it is recommended that you apply Artisan Lacquer over the top to in particular make the surfaces easily wipeable on a regular basis.
Arcadian Silver is best used over a Premium Chalk Paint base like Clubhouse Grey. Premium Chalk Paint adheres to almost any surface + Metallic Alchemy bonds with Premium Chalk Paint really well = you can create Artisan Metallic finishes on almost any surface.
If applying Metallic Alchemy directly over a surface like we did over the metal. Even if you have gained full coverage on the first coat, you still want to do 2 good coats to allow there to be enough Artisan Metallics on there to protect and wear well. Once it's on there though it's a very hard durable and wipeable surface.
The finish shown in the Video are using products that is suitable for both indoors and outdoors.

Painting Leather
Regular price $0.00
Tax included.
Vintro Chalk Paint can be applied to many surfaces with little to no prep including Leather. Take a look at a video guide on one of the ways to paint Leather.
Things to Note:
Vintro Chalk Paint must be watered down prior to application
Take it slow and apply "thin" coats of paint to avoid paint build up or cracking. Thinned down paint will allow you to go into the creases and folds of the leather seamlessly without the paint "caking" up in those areas, and this is one of the main reasons why we suggest doing thing coats of paint
Use 600 grit sand paper to sand and remove any strokes or unwanted texture prior to waxing.
Painting Leather is a cosmetic makeover and will not fix any major existing cracks or peeling."Genuine Leather" paints and wears naturally & beautifully.

Pairing Blues & Greys
Regular price $0.00
Tax included.
Painting leaves to showcase our Artisan Range of Blues...yep that's us :-) but we're all visual here so we think it's a great way to show the differences. Here we've fanned out some leaves, and painted them all in different blues in our Artisan Velvet Luxe to show you the differences, if your using our Premium Chalk paints, this will be the depth of each colour after you give it a clear wax.
If you're looking to compare blues or pair a grey with a blue this might just help to guide you, of course this is only a guide, as colours are best viewed in person or through a sample pot in your lighting and environment.
We've added 2 Artisan greys in here, as we get a lot of questions like which greys works best with blues? So we've selected a dark and a light grey. One of our favs is Stormy Creek, a darker grey with blue undertones. Still Water Grey is a lovely pale grey with subtle blue undertones and Bach Blue is one thats on the cusp of being a pale "blue grey", it can appear more grey or more blue depending on the lighting and is one to consider on both fields of blue and grey.
