A year ago this month Lisa Casey and Tom Guitard took over Front Porch Mercantile Moncton.<\/p>\n

One year.<\/h3>\n

Time flies.<\/p>\n

\"Tom<\/p>\n

The day they got the keys (they are going to kill me for this one lol)<\/p>\n

If you are new around here you can catch up here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Getting started<\/p>\n

I sold Lisa and Tom the Moncton franchise (my baby) so I was able to move\u00a0to Lunenburg NS to do my thing<\/a> with Front Porch Mercantile there, continue my coaching and paint retailer training<\/a> and work more closely with my paint brands. I haven’t regretted it for one single tiny itty bitty second.\u00a0Although I’m still involved in the creative side of things, the direction of Front Porch Mercantile overall and the marketing etc, it’s Lisa and Tom that have taken Front Porch Mercantile Moncton and elevated it to the beautiful space it is today.<\/p>\n

\"Lisa<\/p>\n

Lisa and Wendy<\/p>\n

Lisa had a dream and a vision and took my\u00a0“baby” and ran with it. They are raising that baby right!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

They started with the foundation we built over the years and grew it what it is today. I am so grateful. I think Greater Moncton and our customers are\u00a0too!<\/p>\n

Lisa and Tom took a big gamble to pack up their lives in Toronto and move to Moncton to build a creative and new life in Moncton. I think we are all so inspried and grateful to them.<\/p>\n

\"Tom<\/p>\n

Lisa has created a beautiful welcoming store and is growing an amazing community of creatives, she has \u00a0fabulous workshops<\/a>, offers full DIY services, custom painting services<\/a>, hosts fun events in store, is amazingly knowledgeable and has kick butt staff and truthfully, it’s just a joy to wander and shop in the Moncton store<\/strong>. There is always something new and beautiful and inspiring.<\/p>\n

\"Front<\/p>\n

They continue to carry only quality Canadian DIY paints<\/a> and they have the knowledge and customer service to help you pick just the right one for your project. Lisa excels at customer service and creativity oozes out of her pours, she’s a natural with colour\u00a0and has the most amazing style and eye. Truly an amazing creative with the ability to inspire you to confidently make, paint and decorate your own space.<\/p>\n

\"beautiful<\/p>\n

We as a team cannot begin to thank our customers old and new for their continued support, word of mouth sharing, the kind words, and shopping with us. Without our loyal amazing customers, there would be no Front Porch Mercantile creative community. For that we thank you.<\/p>\n

I still can’t believe it’s been a year. Time flies, yet it seems like it’s been forever because it’s so beautiful and perfect and Lisa is 100% in her element.<\/p>\n

Opening Day 2017<\/p>\n

Lisa didn’t want any fanfare for the 1-year mark of their taking over, she didn’t want to confuse everyone with the anniversary of Front Porch Mercantile, but, heck, we need to celebrate their success!<\/p>\n
