Color Wheel's Grand Re-Opening and 45th Anniversary Celebration

COLOR WHEEL, a third generation family business, is having a Grand Re-Opening and 45th Anniversary Celebration on October 2 from 8 am to 6 pm at 1374 Chain Bridge Road in McLean. The recently remodeled 6,400-square-foot location is three stores rolled into one, featuring paint and specialty finishes, decorating products and services, and custom picture framing.

Earl and Nellie Boswell, their son Charles, and his wife Elisabeth established Color Wheel in September of 1965. From a modest start and a genuine interest in serving the community, the founders demonstrated extraordinary customer service that has transcended 45 years. The tradition of integrity and old-fashioned values is carried on today by Charlie Boswell, president, and his sister, Renate Boswell Eschmann.

With a fresh new look, one section of the store is reopening as a Benjamin Moore Signature Store, where you’ll find time-tested quality products in a newly designed space. A centrally located seating area provides a comfortable place to explore colors and finishes on your own or with the assistance of knowledgeable store professionals.

An extensive décor showroom features a large library of designer fabrics, wall coverings, trims, quality blinds, shades, and shutters, custom window treatments, re-upholstery, slip covers, bedding and accessories. Decorators are available for in-store or on-site consultations.

Color Wheel’s picture framing studio is staffed with award-winning professional designers and artisans. In addition to custom picture framing, consultation, delivery and picture hanging services, you’ll discover a selection of fine art, photo frames, decorative accessories, and more.

In honor of Color Wheel’s founders, the first ten customers to park a pre-1972 automobile at the event between 8 am and noon will receive a $45 Color Wheel gift certificate.

Drawings for products and services will be held during the October 2 celebration. Enter now for a chance to win at the McLean location or Color Wheel Paint Center at 2802-D Merrilee Drive in Fairfax. No purchase is necessary. Must be 18 years of age, one entry per person.
