Since 2008 The Plumber’s Wife has been a kitchen and bathroom boutique specializing in kitchen and bathroom design and whole home decorating. We often get asked how we got our name 'The Plumber's Wife.' Before we had a store, Paula would help friends and family freshen up their spaces, all from the comfort of her home. Her husband Lenard owned a plumbing company where she would assist their clients with their finishing touches. Often times when clients would call looking to speak to Paula, they would ask to speak to 'The Plumber's Wife!' When Paula and Len decided to open a storefront, they knew they The Plumber's Wife would be the perfect fit. Located in Arthur, Ontario, we proudly offer interior design services and packages regardless of your location or budget.   

Our design centre has a large selection of kitchen and bathroom fixtures on display including a working wet shower feature.  Visit us in-store for a free bathroom layout consultation. Bring along measurements of your bathroom, including window location and height, door location, ceiling height and floor plan dimensions. Appointments are recommended.  In home consultations are also available, contact us for a fee schedule.

### All 6 reviews

**★★★★★ — Tracey Reaman, Sept. 2019**

> This project had been a dream of ours for a long time. We hired Paula and her staff at the Plumber’s Wife. We had a vision of our old farmhouse to keep the look and have the same feel as it was built in the 1800’s. Paula and her designers made that dream come true for us.

**Comment from The Plumber's Wife:**

> It was so great working with you to make your dream home a reality Tracey! The finished result is absolutely stunning. Thank you for the review!

**★★★★★ — Khrstyn Presswood, Sept. 2019**

> The Plumber's Wife is an amazing hometown store to work with.
> The ladies there always make my job as a contractor go very smoothly!
> There products are great to work with and of great quality!
> If customers of mine ask for referrals when doing their reno, I never hesitate to send them to The Plumber's Wife, as I know they will get quality service and products they love.

**Comment from The Plumber's Wife:**

> Always so great working with you Khrstyn, thank you for the review!

**★★★★ — Barb Densmore, Aug. 2019**

> I've bought different decor items through the Pumbers Wife in the last year.  No one can beat their prices and service is always great.  Paula has a knowledgeable and friendly staff.  The quality of items is comparable to the big city stores but at the Plumbers Wife you get the personal touch.  Worth the drive to Arthur.

**Comment from The Plumber's Wife:**

> Thanks for the review Barb! We always do our best to make sure everyone feels welcome and at home when shopping with us. When you hang up your 'I love you till the cows come home' print, send us a picture! We'd love to see it :)

**★★★★★ — deniserichardson5064, Aug. 2019**

> The Plumbers Wife was a joy to work with. Very responsive. Great design ideas and comprehensive knowledge. Would highly recommend.

**Comment from The Plumber's Wife:**

> Thank you for the review Denise, we had a lot of fun working on your projects!

**★★★★★ — The Old Barn Granite Counter Tops, Oct. 2013**

> The Plumber's Wife is an excellent fixture store with many unique finds.  Paula and her staff are very helpful.  They are a great team to work with.

**★★★★★ — sbonnell, Feb. 2013**

> Paula is the idea woman.  She constantly is coming up with new ways of looking at things and is on top of all the different options.  Truly a joy to work with.
