Which by the way is vastly different than my previous Old English Tudor. To give my powder room personality and a WOW factor, I decided to wallpaper the small room rather than do a tile application which would have tripled the cost. My contractor recommended this Miller Paint location saying they had the best wallpaper selection in Portland. I didn't want the garish wallpaper of my youth and had a particular idea in mind. Enter Karen, the Wallpaper Goddess. I described a large, bold, chevron pattern in shades of gray and gray-blues. Karen walks to a wall loaded with books, picked out three, flipped to a few pages and I said, stop, that's it, that is what is in my head! Went home and put the book in the powder room and immediately called Karen and placed the order (Candace Olson design.) Karen even helped me find an installer. Next I decided to do an accent wall in my Master bedroom. Again, I had something very specific in mind. So specific I was contemplating hiring an artist to paint the wall. When I described the design concept to Karen she said, you don't have to hire an artist, you are describing Cork wallpaper. Again she goes over to the huge assortment of books, selects a few, opens to a page and on the first try, there was the exact pattern I had envisioned, exactly like a pic I clipped from a magazine and showed Karen. Ordered it on the spot. (Another Candace Olson design.) Three times a charm and so when I decided that I needed one more accent wall, this time in the foyer, I came back to see the Wizard. I described a wall that would have texture, colors and reminiscent of sand on the beach, with specs of shiny gray to pull in the color of the opposing walls and to provide a subtle sparkle. Karen said, do you mean you want Mica? I said I don't know what Mica is, I just know what is in my head. She brings me a book, and once again, right on the money. Seriously, how does she do this? Karen is incredible! She has also helped me pick out paint colors to work with existing tile and carpet. Nailed it every single time. Karen thinks I'm amazing because I pick out wallpaper on the first try and some people spend weeks coming and going with arms full of wallpaper books. Well, I know what I want and Karen magically produces it, so no need to waste time! Decisive is my game. In addition to her talents, Karen is super nice to work with. I'm bummed that my house is completely done as we made a good team! Don't be afraid of wallpaper. The designs these days are incredible and they can transform your space. Go to Miller Paint, grab some popcorn on the first floor, and walk up the steps to the wallpaper area and let Karen do her magic. Oh, and all the people working in the paint area are also professional, friendly and helpful. Great staff all the way around! Wish every store was like this. There is a huge parking lot so parking is a breeze, and they carry your paint and purchases to your car. Tell Karen I sent you!

Oh my gosh. It breaks my heart to write this review. I have been Team Sherwin-Williams my entire…read morelife. My mom is Team Sherwin-Williams, too. Over the years, both of us have done multiple fabulous interior painting projects using Sherwin-Williams paints. My husband and I even had a really good Sherwin-Williams exterior project: painting the shabby stucco wall of our neighbor's garage. That exterior paint has held up great for several years. But our other outdoor Sherwin-Williams project has been a disaster. We have raised wooden beds in our backyard. When we expanded them, we decided to go top-of-the-line with Sherwin-Williams stain instead of our usual hardware store brand. I took pictures of our project and had a wonderful consultation with the employee there, and felt 100% positive that our new stain would be fabulous. We did all the prep properly and followed all the instructions. And, a mere year later, the stain began to flake. Two years later, and it looks embarrassingly bad. It's flaked up in huge chunks and I AM MAD. Again, we consulted properly and did all the proper prep and insured that we were using the correct products. That being said, I do feel like the staff there are/were lovely. And I've loved all of our other Sherwin-Williams paint projects. But I will never buy an exterior Sherwin-Williams product again.

I had no idea there were so many shades of white So after I realized I painted my floors a shade of white that looks way too cool I went back to the store and talked to Fay and she suggested a paint color called Greek Villa! She explained a lot of the different white hues this gal is literally a paint wizard. I went home and repainted and WOW my floors look incredible!

I'm in the process of purchasing real estate in Vancouver WA for the first time, and I know I prefer Benjamin Moore's Aura paint.

I will return when it is time to purchase my paint unless subsequent visits prove any less pleasant and helpful.

Paint is the easiest way to transform a room, but selecting a paint color is far from easy! Color is a reflection of the light and color around it it so a particular paint color can look vastly different when you paint it on your walls and it reflects the hardwoods, carpets, furniture, etc in the room. I'm pretty good at seeing the "color" and tone in a sample, meaning is the gray pulling blue, brown, sage, purple? After painting several large swatches on the walls, I felt the gray we chose was pulling too much blue so we went back to the store with the goal of finding the same level of saturation but a few spots over on the color wheel so it would have a brown base. Luke was working that evening and when I explained the intention, he chose a color he felt would meet our needs. He also recommended painting the sample color on large 2x3 sheets of paper so we could move the paper to all areas of the room and see it in different lighting conditions. He said he wasn't trying to get us to spend more money, he was making this suggestion because we mentioned how the colors seemed so off because the existing wall is an orange tan. Sure enough, when we painted the samples on white, and put the papers in the wall, we were able to see the color more realistically. The color he suggested ended up being the perfect greige (gray beige) that we were seeking. We came back a few days later to find a pure white for the trim and were running into the same challenges. There is no pure white because white definitely picks up on the colors around it. We were in luck because Luke was there again! We had narrowed it down to Chantilly Lace and Super White. Without telling him our choices, we asked him which white would show as true white against the greige. Now, there are dozens and dozens of whites. Instantly he said Chantilly Lace. We painted more white sheets, put them on the wall, looked at them at night and in the daylight against the greige walls and hardwood floors. Chantilly Lace was the unanimous decision. Now, before we saw Luke, there was someone else working who was not nearly as helpful. In fact, it seemed like he didn't want to answer any of our questions or assist at all when it came to trying to decipher colors and how they would appear. So I think we had several super experiences because of Marcus. We have several more rooms to go, and we will continue to come back to Dick's Color Center / Sherman Williams because of the great advice and fabulous experience working with Luke.
