The array of colors in the paint section and the different brands offered makes it hard to choose. I love this place and hope they never re-do it, it would be a shame. The best prices too, definitely worth the trip from Staten Island that I make.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-87896065193640704312007-06-20T01:22:00.000-04:002007-06-20T01:22:00.000-04:00The best thing about Pearl Paint, I think, is that...The best thing about Pearl Paint, I think, is that the staff knows the answer to every possible art-supply related question.

I know the unique and slightly askew atmosphere can be appealing.<BR/><BR/>Kate - I would imagine the ceiling is original. I doubt that Pearl would have invested in the stairwell.<BR/><BR/>an honest man - 'Tis true. We are seeing homogeneity worldwide. What used to make NYC unique (like other cities) is fast disappearing. I don't think that it is conspiratorial or an orchestrated plan, just a confluence of different factors including economics and cultural changes.
