Ken Smith, the manager of the Dunnavant Valley ACE Hardware, says his store is more like a lifestyle store with staff members ready to help with any project.
From decorating to becoming a master of the grill, here’s three spring projects ACE Hardware is ready to help with.
1. Distressing Furniture
“[Customers] come in with their great-grandmother’s piece of furniture,” Ken said, “and they need to use it in their decorating scheme,” but it’s in need of a little TLC.
Ken suggests using Benjamin Moore paint, Annie Sloan chalk paint or Magnolia Homes products to give old pieces a rustic or antique feel. If you’re not sure exactly how to go about it, you can go by the store for some tips and advice.
“We can make grannie’s old table look like a museum piece,” Smith said.
2. Sprucing up the Yard
During the spring, customers need to get their yards dressed up and ready. For that, Ken and his team have the supplies for every step of the process.
The staff will help with choosing the right fertilizer and weed killers, selecting the best power equipment and finally the most vibrant plants to bring your yard to life.
3. Becoming the Grill Master
“Don’t forget that after your yard looks perfect, it’s time to grill,” Ken said. “We have a great selection of Weber, Traeger, Blackstone and Big Green Egg.”
If you want to tackle any of these projects this spring, you can shoponline and pick up your project toolsin-store, or come in for a bit of advice from the staff.
