Metheny Weir Brings Chalk Paint® to the West Side

Artistic duo Sue Weir and Kim Metheny

Now Cleveland Westsiders can visit Metheny Weir’s new Rocky River studio to learn easy DIY paint techniques that will enable them to channel their creative energies and transform their home decors. This new store is located at 20254 Detroit Road.

Demand for the Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan and for painting classes taught by co-owners Kim Metheny and Sue Weir has grown in recent years at their original studio in Shaker Heights. “We have a bunch of customers who make the trek over to Shaker from Rocky River, Lakewood, Westlake and Avon so we think there’s a great opportunity to grow here,” says Metheny.

“We’ve spent 15 years learning how to create great custom finishes and worked in hundreds of fine homes around Cleveland”, says Weir. “Now we’re sharing the secrets we’ve learned and teaching folks how they can reinvent furniture, kitchen cabinets, or almost anything all by themselves.”

The acclaimed no-prep paint – named for the appearance of chalk, though the paint is chalk-free – has become the go-to product for easy makeovers for furniture and cabinetry.  “Many of our customers are women who are bored with the look of their homes and want to freshen things up”, says Metheny. “Our workshops help them get the confidence they need to use the Chalk Paint® and waxes to create a fantastic finish on anything from a chair to an entire kitchen.”

Priming and sanding aren’t required when painting with Chalk Paint®. In fact, someone with no experience can create a beautiful waxed furniture finish in a couple hours. Help is always available at either store, or after hours on Metheny Weir’s “paint emergency line”.

The new store is open Tuesday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, visit www.methenyweir.com or call 216-303-9755.
