Creating a stylish, sustainable interior space is easier and cheaper than you may think. Do you frequent thrift stores and flea markets for furniture you can refine and refinish? Do you want to start?
Blue Sky Design Supply opened back in 2010 and has since become a place of inspiration and exploration. Creativity is plentiful at this shop, and better yet these folks love teaching people to mindfully create with passion, color, and texture. Sharing is caring.

Chalk Paint®
If you’re confident enough to create on your own, Blue Sky has a refinishing alternative to priming and sanding – Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan. It’s super easy to use, and it’s water-based, eco-friendly, and virtually odor-free. Yay! Blue Sky Design Supply is the official stockist for this product in the Buffalo region.
