Il- The Canadien Champion, Friday, March 26, 2004-B3 'Milton's Newest Paint & Decoratin2 Store! Spring is just around the corner, with a rainbow of colour about to bloom. Shouldn't your home get a fresh new look as wel? A new coat of paint is one of the easiest ways to refresh a room. But with today's trend towards big box home improvement stores, quality merchandise and customer service have taken a back seat, leaving homeowners in the dark as to what product and finish to choose. That's not the case at Milton Paint and Decor, where you can be sure you'il get the individual attention you deserve. Co-owned by Cathy Clapp and Sandy Brownridge, Milton Paint and Decor opened its doors in October, 2003. Since then, the store has made a name for itself as the home of quality products, and expert advice. That's not hard with Sandy and Cathy at the helm. Cathy graduat- ed from Humber College's Interior Decorating program 15 years ago, and has been heavily involved in the industry ever since. She was the owner of Esprit Decor, a decorating and special effects paint con- tracting company, for seven years. Some of the company's work can be seen at restaurants in the surrounding Toronto area and in the offices of the Chum City building, including Much Music. Sandy was an employee at Esprit Decor, and has extensive hands on train- ing in the design world. Sandy also brings her background in customer and social service to Milton Paints. She was a key organizer of sports tournaments and charity events while residing here in Milton. Both are skilled in decorating, and can help any homeowner choose the perfect paint or k wallpaper to compliment * their decor. They pro- vide free in-store colour consulta- tions, free deliv- ery, and custom colour match- ing, which allows you to match your paint colour to any object. Apart from cus- tomer service, Cathy and Sandy only stock the best decor materi- als. Their choice product is the all- Canadian Para Paints due to Para's product quality and commitment to reduce the environmental impact of their paints and coat- ings. Para's latex paint proudly carries the Ecologo symbol, the official trademark of Environment Canada. Para had also adopted the Coatings Care initiative - an inter- national program promoting effec- tive health, safety and environ- mental practices for the paint industry. In addition to quality Para Paints, Milton Paint and Decor offers a wide selection of wallpaper books, and Shadomatic window coverings. Conveniently located at Ontario Street and Steeles Avenue, Milton Paint and Decor is one of the newer members of the business community. Although their doors have been open since last October, they are celebrating their grand opening April 3, with spe- cial draws and events. But don't wait until then to see all they have to offer.
