As of March 2023, Malenka Originals is now Recreated Designs! Read a last blog post from Katrina here for more details about the change.
****************
At Malenka Originals, we were passionate about transforming unwanted, outdated furniture into contemporary, beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces. And we were also equally passionate about helping and teaching others to do the same.
A unique combo of workshop and store, Malenka Originals was a place to learn, share, and get inspired about painted furniture.
Started in 2011 by Katrina Barclay as an at-home business painting and selling furniture, Malenka Originals opened in September 2012 in Britannia Village, Ottawa, and then moved to Hintonburg in March 2016. In March 2023, owner and founder Katrina Barclay passed along the business to employee Lisa Silfwerbrand.
Along with selling select pieces of refreshed furniture, Malenka Originals was the exclusive Ottawa stockist for Chalk Paint™ decorative paint by Annie Sloan as well as Canadian-made Fusion Mineral Paint, Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint, Artisan Enhancements paint mediums, Royal Design Studio Stencils, Madeline Wax and Paint Brushes, and a wide range of decorative drawer knobs.
Malenka Originals also hosted workshops for those wanting a creative space to learn more about techniques for painting furniture.
