Where Creativity Comes to Life—
One Project at a Time
Located inside Port City Peddler, our Design Center is your destination for premium furniture paints, decorative finishes, and all the tools and inspiration you need to transform your space.
Whether you’re refinishing a piece of furniture, updating your décor, or bringing a creative idea to life, the Design Center at Port City Peddler is where you’ll find everything you need—from premium products to personalized help.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Design Center different from a regular craft or paint section?
The Design Center is a curated space that brings together high-end furniture paints, decorative finishes, and expert support. It’s not just about what you buy—it’s about how we help you use it.

Not at all! Many of our customers are just getting started. We’re here to help explain product differences, suggest techniques, and make sure you feel confident before you begin.
Do you offer workshops or tutorials?
We currently offer one-on-one support in-store and can guide you toward helpful tutorials or product-specific instructions. Ask us anytime—we’re happy to help.
Can I buy your paint or decorative products online?
No, our Design Center items are in-store only. That allows us to help each customer personally and ensure you're getting the right products for your project.

Bring a photo or a description of your project, and we’ll help you choose the right paint, finish, and decorative elements to match your style and surface.
