A Week in Philly with Kristina Kuddar – Collaboration, Wallpaper, and Paint Fam Fun

Last week, Carlson Paint & Paper hit the road for an incredible trip to Philadelphia, PA, teaming up with the talented Kristina Kuddar for a wallpaper project that was nothing short of amazing. Together, we installed a fantastic, detailed wallpaper design that brought new life to the space — proving once again that when the Paint Fam comes together, great things happen.

Beyond the job site, we made the most of our time in Philly — exploring the city, visiting the iconic Rocky statue, and, of course, eating some of the best food the city has to offer. Between the incredible meals and great company, this trip was the perfect mix of hard work and good times.

A huge congratulations goes out to Kristina Kuddar, who was recently named the 2nd U.S. Ambassador for Arroworthy! 🎉 Her dedication to the craft and passion for the painting industry continue to inspire painters everywhere, and we couldn’t be prouder to call her a friend and collaborator.

Trips like this remind us what makes this industry so special — it’s not just about the paint or the paper, but the people. Working side by side with others who share the same drive and love for the trade keeps our creativity and motivation strong.

And we’re not slowing down anytime soon — this week, we’re heading across the pond to the UK for the National Painting and Decorating Show! Stay tuned as we connect with international painters, explore the latest products and innovations, and continue celebrating everything that makes this industry great.
