Knowledgeable staff dispense sound advice and product info in addition to the usual paints and brushes. The store carries a wide selection from Benjamin Moore, including the new premium Aura line of interior paints ($65 per gallon). Aura is touted as an easy-to-use paint—quick-drying, self-priming, two-coat coverage—with green benefits, meaning low volatile organic compound content and minimal odour. There are also deck stains, interior and exterior paints from Para, and all the paintbrushes, painter’s tape, drop clothes, rolling trays and rollers necessary for a weekend DIY decorating job. If you are a little DIY shy, take heart: staff have a shortlist of recommended contractors for those in need of referrals.
