I can't believe how rude and inconsiderate the people at this store are. During a weekday at…read moremidday, they painted their back room with a paint that had a STRONG odor. I don't mean it just stinks, but the fumes were actually dangerous. It fumed out the stores 2-3 down on either side of their business. Some places even had to close it was so bad. A few people had to go home with migraines and nose bleeds. No warning was given to any of the businesses in the area. When they were asked to stop painting because it was making people ill they were very rude about it. What I don't get is this: You're a paint store, why did you think this was a good idea? Did you simply not know the paint caused such bad fumes? Not a place I'd trust to sell me paint, that's for sure.

You will pay a few dollars more for the can of paint, but rest assured you will put a lot less effort into your painting job. Because you`re using a higher grade paint, you`re less likely to have to paint extra coats to get your perfect result. The average can of paint is around $40 - $50. The staff are so helpful. I`ve gone in there not having a clue what color to choose for a room and with their help, I walk out with my entire house colors flowing together. I am a big Benjamin Moore fan!

Colour Your World is one of the few stores in Halifax that specifically and exclusively specializes…read morein paint. So today, I went to Colour Your World to purchase a can of paint. My mission was quite simple. I was to get 1 quart of Watercolor Blue paint (shade 72/063) for the exterior of my house. This quickly turned into a disaster. When the staff member asked me if I needed oil or latex paint, and I asked her what she meant - she looked at me as though I was retarded. When I asked her to explain, she couldn't really explain the difference. Even when I explained to her that it was to paint a metal pipe running up the outside of my house, which had previously been painted before we lived there, she was still unable to provide any assistance. I questioned how I was suppose to know this, when she was the paint expert and she had been given all of the same facts that I did. On my way home I stopped at a second paint store. I again explained my situation. This time the staff were quick to suggest that I buy the latex paint. Needless to say, I was very disappointed with the lack of professional and friendly service at Colour Your World and I will be hesitant to shop there again.

If you're a contractor, or someone who already knows what you need to get for you project, then…read moreColour Your World is a decent option. It's got your standard mid-range paint products (Dulux and Glidden), wallpaper (in case you lost your mind) and any kind of tool that you may need for decorating your project. However, as someone who knows nothing about paint, or needs a lot of it for your project (say, to cover up the colour pink from every wall, ceiling, door and trim), you may not get quite the help you need. While the staff was mostly friendly and helpful, there were some very key points that, as non-contractor new home-owners, should have been covered with us but weren't. While we picked a few colours off the chip walls, because their online colour catalogue apparently doesn't match what they have in-store, we expected that we'd get the colours that we asked for. Boy, were we in for a surprise when our painter called us back to tell us that half the paint we had purchased was a clear-coat glaze that required separate background coat paint. Separate paint that we had not bought, nor had we budgeted for. Without this special, separate paint, the paint that was provided to us would take seven to eight (!!!) coats to get to the right shade we picked. Clearly, we were frustrated and disappointed that we were never told of this. At least the other half of the paint we bought was fine. Maybe if you get the right employee or ask the right questions, you'll get quality service, but unfortunately it shouldn't be like a Russian roulette game. If we ever decide to paint again, we'll likely spend a few dollars more per gallon and go someplace like the Benjamin Moore store.

Generally a wide range of gift ideas. Most products in the shop have been created by the owners themselves so that's pretty neat.

The smell of the soaps and candles places you in a relaxed mood to browse the shabby sheik store. I love this style of furniture old style with a modern twist to it. Bird houses seem to be a big thing in this store but these bird house are more of a decor thing. Various colours that you would use and an accent piece apposed to hanging in a tree. Bath salts and lotions fill the shelves with straw baskets in a way that you need to touch. I would love to design my house with everything in this place. Now prices are a bit higher then an average wear house stocked with but the character of each piece is filled with conversation and years of falling in love with your piece over and over. Beautiful hardwood floors with great wear can tell you that this store has had many visitors walking through and this is a place that I will visit again.

I…read moreknew I had a discount with Dulux via CAA, so I went to the store in the Hydrostone as it was the closest one I could think of. My boyfriend and I were discussing colors and a client service rep approached us and asked if we were ready to chose a paint color. I indicated we were still looking at colors and trying to determine the right fit and that once we were ready we would come and see her, with which she carried on her way. Once we had decided on a couple of colors, we asked her to mix up a batch while we decided on the next room. Once she finished mixing, she asked us if that would be everything and if we were ready to pay. I had responded that as mentioned previously, we were still trying to determine the next set of colors. Once we had determined the next set of colors we asked for advice on the type of paint we should use, indicating that we wanted something that had good coverage without a need to prime, based on the colors that we're painting over. She referred us directly to the 70$ paint which I wasn't willing to spend the money on - once I indicated my aversion to spending that kind of money on paint, she essentially dismissed us and told us to let her know once we figured ourselves out. I had to ask her about certain products that she had on the floor and she was vague and dismissive of anything else. She was the most unhelpful person I have ever met. She made us feel like she had better things to do, and that we were competely wasting her time. As I listended to the other guys in the store help their clients, offering helpful advice and guidance, I couldn't believe they allowed this person to work in their store. Unfortunately, I will never return to this store.
