About Us
We are three women on a mission to save the earth…..or at least save a few gallons of paint from landfills. We come from a variety of backgrounds and hemispheres and derive great pleasure from every gallon of paint that we mix. Come into our store and relish our wonderful paint colors, green being our all time favorite and if you are lucky you might even see our process in motion.
The idea to start a paint recycling business was entirely Katharine’s. After running a faux finishing business for seven years with Tref, she saw the ridiculous amount of paint that went to waste. A passionate recycler herself, Katharine saw the potential to reclaim vast amounts of perfectly good paint from basements, garages and, ultimately, landfills.
Tref left a 15-year career in investment banking and philanthropy when she moved to the South Shore and started a new career as a decorative painter with Katharine. Tref has an obsession with clearing the cans out of the shop and thus provides us with much paint, mixing batches of paint faster than anyone this side of the Boston.
Tania comes from New Zealand and has a Degree in Design. This allows her to spend numerous hours pondering over how pretty a color is and where a gallon of paint should be housed on the shelves. It also makes her especially good at creating artistic masterpieces out of the cruddy furniture that Tref keeps picking up on Craigslist. Tania has a biochemical background – no, seriously, she really does – which comes in handy when tests on the paint need to be performed.
As a part of our ongoing mission to save the earth we are proud to announce that every year a percentage of our profits will be given to a local environmental group.
Come in and be a part of our “recycled paint community!”
