Because of Covid, I couldn't be in Calgary to pick my paint colors. Instead, I did my research and found Balance Paint and Decor which had the best reviews and customer service ratings. Theresa went to my house (lockbox) and walked me through the color choices- virtually! The color I thought would be fine, didn't complement my quartz compared to her pick. Subtle changes make a huge difference. She educated me every step of the way. I started out apprehensive and nervous and ended up so very happy and relieved. I have never chosen colors without seeing in person so I really needed an extra eye and good advice before committing to a whole house project. She truly knows her BM colors. Her hour consultation saved me a lot of money! I can't thank her enough for her knowledge, honesty and patience. I am in awe and wowed by her professionalism and insight.. Thank you, Theresa! *I made sure my painter bought the paint from her store.. independently owned. -J. Travis

That means I need a lot - and I mean a LOT - of paint. I came here one afternoon with a list of paints picked out by my interior decorator (Dasan Interiors, look her up!) and a wallet that knew it was about to get the diet of its life. The nice woman behind the desk took down my order and helped me calculate how much paint I would need. Unfortunately we hit a snag right away. I was buying Pratt & Lambert Matte/Flat finishes, which aren't big sellers for them. As a result, they didn't have enough of the base color to mix my paints. OH NO! That was a huge problem, because I officially moved into the house in 5 days and they wouldn't get a new shipment for 2 - 3 weeks. What's a man to do? Luckily, in stepped a very nice German-sounding man whose name escapes me. Together, they deduced that I could use a C2 paint for the base, then use the Pratt and Lambert as my second coat - and everyone would win! Babes wouldn't even notice that my base coat wasn't the same as my top coat. Oh, I'm a sly devil alright. So I waited about 35 minutes (I didn't have a watch or I certainly would have timed it for all my devout Yelp fans), got the paint, loaded up my car and sped off to adorn my dudeplex in the finest shades of gray. One thing you should know: Paint is absurdly expensive. Just painting my house will wind up running me over $1,000, I'm sure of it. But at least my walls will look nice when I'm sitting on the floor because I can't afford furniture. All in all my experience here was excellent, no complaints. That is - until I see whether or not that bottom base coat actually looks okay or not. Fingers crossed.

Waited around the front desk for quite a while before someone came to provide service. I had the previous can with me that showed the brand, make, type, blend, colour and all details they would need. I specifically asked the person whether they had this paint and they said "Yes". They rang up the invoice and I paid. Then I waited again for quite a while. Finally another person came out as asked "Are you waiting for the Renaissance?" (the brand of paint). I said "Yes". They then said "We don't have any of this paint." (No apology). They said they thought it might be in tomorrow, or I could go to another Cloverdale store (the closest one is a 20 minute drive away). They told me that the delivery truck would be bringing it tomorrow (Monday) and would be there between 07:00 and 09:00. So I told them I would be there at 09:00 to pick up my paint. I was very disappointed. They could have offered a discount for my inconvenience, but nothing ... I won't go go back to this store. UPDATE: Monday Went in this morning at 09:00 as I said I would. I went to the counter and when I explained why I was there, I was told that the paint still wasn't there because the truck was late. Once again, no apology. So now I will have to make a THIRD trip to the store just to get one gallon of the common paint that I need for my project, and which I have already paid for. The management of this store really needs to have a look at their business model and apply whatever measures are necessary to fix it. It is currently broken.

They seem to be the only place in Calgary you can buy this paint, and loving all the things you can do with the paint, I really wanted to love this store as well. Sadly, I can't say I loved this store as much as I was hoping. I should start this by saying that I have not used the interior design service, but from what I see in the studio it looks interesting and well done. The purpose of my visit was to arm myself with chalk paint and accessories to fuel my creative spirit. I am a new 'chalk painter', so when I went in to the store I was looking for some tips on how to best use this paint. You know when you ask someone a question, hoping that they will answer it and continue to provide additional useful information that they have and you need to know? Yeah, that wasn't the experience I had the first 3 times I visited. In fact, I found myself leaving almost more confused than when I arrived. Lucky for me, on my 4th visit (I know, that's a lot of paint!) there was a fantastic lady working who was super knowledgeable, super helpful and was really lovely to talk to. She talked me through my colour selection, made lots of interesting suggestions and filled me with tips and tricks for furniture painting success. And a success it was! It was a really fun project that would not have been so successful without her help. The paint is an investment in itself, running you $32 just for a brush and $47 for a quart. Nonetheless, the paint is awesome so it is worth the trip. I just wish all of the girls were more forthcoming about sharing their tips with us newbies on how to use chalk paint! As a tip, if you know which colour you are after, best call ahead to make sure they have it in stock. Inventory supplies seem to change quickly, so to avoid disappointment and a drive through the industrial part of town, give them a call to check in advance. So will I be back? Yeah, it really is good paint! -- L
