I have to admit that I am exhausted! I just returned (literally less than an hour ago) from Toronto and being at the Fusion Furniture Flipping Expo. Despite the weariness, I just couldn’t wait to tell you a bit about the Expo because it – was – amazing!
This was the first Furniture Flipping Expo that Fusion has done and it was incredible. There was so much information packed into two days my mind is still whirling.
There were amazing guests, hands-on projects, demos, prizes, product launches, panel discussions and oh so much more.
Even though I have been recreating furniture for a long time, write about paint and dream about painting there was still so much to learn and so much info to walk away with. 
The Expo was filled with…
Demos
Experts
Like THE Michael Penney who talked all about staging… 
the brothers from Staalmeester who shared their story and all about their paint brushes…
and of course Fiona, Jennylyn and Loree from Fusion/Homestead House.
Guru Bars
Where you could learn about Social Media, Photography, Kitchen painting and Colour Mixing.
Product Info
Fusion Mineral Paint
Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint
and 
Staalmeester
Furniture Makeovers
Product Playing
Some new Fusion products and 
IOD transfers.
And some ammmazing…
Prizes
I can’t begin to tell you how informative and just plain old good this Expo was. If you have the chance to go (they are bringing them to other cities by the way!) I would highly recommend it. You won’t be disappointed! 
Now I need to blow out the candles ;), get some sleep and process all of the info swirling in my head. In the next few weeks I will share some projects with a few new products that I picked up as well as be testing out some amazing new-to-me brushes! I will be sure to share and if you ever want more info or to chat about the Expo, just drop me a line!
Nighty night.
Dump items are treasures. Thrift stores are great too. Elbow grease and ideas can create a very nice income by selling and saving money on purchases. Keep up the great work!
It’s so true Vicki. You can find some amazing things at the dumps and thrift stores! Thanks for your lovely encouragement!
You not only captured beautiful photographs of the Expo but described the events, guests and highlights to a T. Love your blog, Lisa.
Aww thanks so much Wendy, your kind words are so sweet. It certainly was an amazing event!
