(David Emslie photo) Church transformed into Color Your World ' By David Emslie CI,INTON - The new Color Your World store . might have the most interesting history of any paint store in the area, as it is currently housed in what was once a Pentecostal Church. Owned by Don and Betty Duff, the store has been open since the end of May. Mr. Duff explained they first got the idea of owning their own store when they were in Stratford's Color Your World, and the owner asked them if they knew anyone in the Cljn ton area who would like to buy a store. Their first step in building towards this goal was finding a suitable place for a store. "There are lots of places, but they're not all suitable," Mr. Duff explained. This search took up the good part of a year, and once the building was found it had to be rezoned from a church. property to highway commercial, which also took a few months. After all of the paper work was out of the way, renovations were in order. Although the Duff's don't actually own the building, they own the goods in the store, and therefore they tackled the renovations with a lot of zest. Some of the work they carried out includ- ed taking the windows out, putting in some carpet, putting up an iron railing, and ad- ding a step within the store. Surprisingly, this work took only two weeks. "Nothing was done until the day we had the paper in our hands saying it was rezoned. That was only about the middle of May," Mrs. Duff explained. However, by May 29 the store was ready to be opened with all of the work completed and the stock moved in. With its complete line of paint, wallpaper and tile products, the store should prove to be a major convenience to area shoppers. Mrs. Duff said that the store has been get- ting a good response so far. "We have had a lot of people looking, more or less. They don't have to look to London or Stratford now." Prior to the opening of the Clinton, Goderich and Exeter stores, Color Your World clients had to make the trip to these areas. So far Mrs. Duff is enjoying her roll of working in the store every day. "I like meeting people, and it's a challenge every day, really. You get to help people redecorate their homes," she concluded.

Operating out of Clinton, the couple changed what was once a church into a store.
