As a painter and decorator, I have bought high quality paint supplies from Venice Paints several…read moretimes. The owner Billy impressed me with his knowledge of his product lines and paint products in general. In my occasional dealings with the big box stores when buying paint, there were often questions they couldn't answer. However, at Venice Paints, Billy is very well-informed and would recommend alternative products if there was a better fit for the project as well as colour recommendations. He knows his stuff and his ability to match colours is almost mystical! He does this all with a smile and a friendly chat and his shop pup Scrappy is pretty dang cute too. Highly Recommended!

I am grateful to Rose, the proprietor, for her indepth instruction, skill, and professional experience with chalk painting. She is so good to work with!

Thank you Rose!

I so wanted to browse and check out every little corner but with little ones in tow maybe some other time. Beelined to the paint shelf, debated on a few colors... so many pretty ones to choose from. I also had the kids picked out their fav colors in sample size cans to paint our next project. Brought home 4 different colors, a few brushes, clear wax finish and a paint roller. Annie Sloan is not cheap... I def splurged. The owner was so sweet, gave me an impromptu class on chalk paint 101. Said to give her a call if I have any questions. Can't wait to build my paint color collection.

I couldn't be happier or made a better choice. These folks are thorough every step of the way - from cleaning and prepping/repairing the surfaces to going over their work, spotting any imperfections and touching up at the end. Matt was incredible. Friendly, understanding and stopping by during the day to ensure the team painting was on track and not missing a thing. It's very comforting to have a leader at the company ensuring the customer is happy and knows what to expect as the job progresses. Paint job is perfect. I'd highly recommend anyone looking for exterior house painting to bring in Artistry. You won't regret it.

You're better off buying used quality furniture than this cheaply made "new" furniture…read more Bought bedroom furniture and the 2nd day the drawer was unable to close. The absolute cheapest drawer rails were used. I have 4 drawers all completely broken within a week of owning. This furniture is just pressed cardboard painted put together with drawer slides that must have cost them at least a nickel. Maybe 2 for a nickel. Even worse is when you call they don't care at all and give you a number that just automatically goes to voicemail. Not a call back ever and you can try to call until the end of days, you will only get voicemail. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money for quality furniture or buy some quality furniture used, you will thank me later. Service is non existent, Value is 0
