I so wanted to browse and check out every little corner but with little ones in tow maybe some other time. Beelined to the paint shelf, debated on a few colors... so many pretty ones to choose from. I also had the kids picked out their fav colors in sample size cans to paint our next project. Brought home 4 different colors, a few brushes, clear wax finish and a paint roller. Annie Sloan is not cheap... I def splurged. The owner was so sweet, gave me an impromptu class on chalk paint 101. Said to give her a call if I have any questions. Can't wait to build my paint color collection.

The salesman, David Moffatt, said not to worry; we can hold the items and deliver them for free when you are ready to receive them. The delivery was white glove, and the men were wonderful. I later had some trouble with the bar stools, so I spoke to Mr Moffatt, who talked with Bob in the warehouse about going to my home to fix the stools, which Bob did. It was an easy fix with me as a happy customer. I can't say enough about this wonderful store that gives great personal customer service. Oh, before I forget to mention, they have a great showroom with beautiful light fixtures, fans, furniture, and home decor. Lyteworks is a good find, so go check it out!

I took the recommendation and I'm really glad that I did. I found Brittany to be very professional and she took the time to go over different frame and matting options.

She also finished the framing in a quick turnaround period, and her services were reasonably priced. I highly recommend her if if you're looking to have something framed in the Sarasota area.
