Find Your Next Project at Port City Peddler
Inspiration Starts Here
Whether you’re browsing for color ideas, paint finishes, or a creative spark, Port City Peddler is the place to explore, imagine, and get inspired.
Not every project starts with a plan. Sometimes it starts with a color you hadn’t considered, a stencil you’ve never seen, or a finished piece that stops you in your tracks.
At Port City Peddler, we believe that inspiration is an integral part of the shopping experience. That’s why we’ve created a space where ideas are everywhere—from the Design Center’s curated paint displays to the hand-finished pieces and vignettes throughout the store.
Many of our customers come in just to look and leave ready to start something new. Whether you’re working on a furniture makeover, crafting home accents, or simply gathering ideas for your next season or space, this is where you come to get excited about creating.
You don’t have to be an expert. You just need a spark—and we’ve got plenty to go around.
What You’ll See in Store
- Finished pieces painted with Dixie Belle, Amy Howard, and other premium products
- Color and finish combinations you may not have considered
- Displays that pair moulds, transfers, and paint to show what’s possible
- Creative use of stencils, decoupage, and furniture waxes
- A Design Center full of sample boards, seasonal projects, and ready-to-try ideas
It’s not a workshop—it’s a working space. Our staff is happy to explain how a finish was achieved, what products were used, or how to recreate a technique at home.
