My adventures as a new homeowner continue. Because I’m a mad baller rollin’ on dubs with sky-high stacks(read: young and stupid) I’m repainting my entire house. That means I need a lot — and I mean a LOT — of paint. I came here one afternoon with a list of paints picked out by my interior decorator(Dasan Interiors, look her up!) and a wallet that knew it was about to get the diet of its life. The nice woman behind the desk took down my order and helped me calculate how much paint I would need. Unfortunately we hit a snag right away. I was buying Pratt & Lambert Matte/Flat finishes, which aren’t big sellers for them. As a result, they didn’t have enough of the base color to mix my paints. OHNO! That was a huge problem, because I officially moved into the house in 5 days and they wouldn’t get a new shipment for 2 — 3 weeks. What’s a man to do? Luckily, in stepped a very nice German-sounding man whose name escapes me. Together, they deduced that I could use a C2 paint for the base, then use the Pratt and Lambert as my second coat — and everyone would win! Babes wouldn’t even notice that my base coat wasn’t the same as my top coat. Oh, I’m a sly devil alright. So I waited about 35 minutes(I didn’t have a watch or I certainly would have timed it for all my devout Unilocal fans), got the paint, loaded up my car and sped off to adorn my dudeplex in the finest shades of gray. One thing you should know: Paint is absurdly expensive. Just painting my house will wind up running me over $ 1,000, I’m sure of it. But at least my walls will look nice when I’m sitting on the floor because I can’t afford furniture. All in all my experience here was excellent, no complaints. That is — until I see whether or not that bottom base coat actually looks okay or not. Fingers crossed.

This store looks like it has anything you need to enhance the walls in your home; there are window balances, curtains, paint and textiles. This is a very long store with the paint selection in the back. The pricing looks pretty high in here but it looks to be a one stop shop. The women behind the counter were dealing with a customer and they looked like they were giving personalised service. The place has furniture, lamps and decoration accessories that is a bit conservative for my aesthetics but would be pleasing to the local Mission cliental. The place is tastefully laid out and I am sure you get what you needed here if you are renovating details of your home.
