Update your home decor with paint – read here to find out more!
Today paint products offer homeowners the flexibility to change the look and “feel” of a room or a houseful of rooms – walls, cabinets, furniture, accessories and trim items – simply by changing the color of a painted surface or adding paint to achieve a decorative effect.
“Woodcraft offers quality paints that can be mixed to make an unlimited palette of colors, as well as create effects such as antiquing and distressing,” product manager Kent Harpool said. “We also stock the tools and supplies needed for a successful painting experience. Plus, Woodcraft retail store employees are ready to answer questions about products, or customers can call the Woodcraft Hotline (800-535-4486) for help.”
