For the DIYers among us, we know it’s not easy to do the 40-or-more-hour work week, coordinate the kids, the vacations and everything else and still have time for the home improvement projects, too.
But the weather is perfect for those little projects that add a bit of whimsy or wow to our everyday lives–the garden fence or gate, the deck, the outdoor furniture–that with a fresh coat of paint or stain, will give us satisfaction for years to come.
So, in the run up to the Labor Day weekend–and that glorious extra day to indulge in projects we’ve been planning to do and just need to get sorted on–we’re here to help! From Tuesday through Saturday (8/19-23), we’re available to answer questions about your next project, by phone or email–or in person (by appointment, please).
Of course, if you’ve got the shopping list together already, send it along for a quote.
All qualifying purchases of paints, primers and wood finishes are 10% off during DIY Days–and wallpapers are 20% off! We also have a small inventory of Safecoat paints, stains and sealers at clearance prices, too. Please see our blog for details.
Keep in mind that some items or quantities may only be available by Special Order and be sure to place those orders as soon as you can, for delivery before the holiday weekend. In stock items ordered by close of business on Thursday 8/21 can be picked up on Saturday morning, between 10:00 and 2:00.
We look forward to connecting with you!
All the best,
Jackie, Laurie & Oscar

The trestle table (above right) was custom made by Earthwood Design in Conifer–and it would look great with a coat of Rubio Monocoat’s Hybrid Wood Protector (available in 20 colors).
The seating area (immediately above) was finished with Sansin Enviro Stain’s Wood Sealer, which allows the wood to weather gracefully, protected from the worst effects of our high altitude elements.
