The Murfreesboro Post:

Danny and Rebecca Westergard have never been ones to take things slowly.

When it is right, they know.

“We don’t like to sit back and say, “What if?” she said.

It doesn’t matter if the decision is about their relationship or the business they opened Aug. 1
The Westergards opened Barfield Paint & Supply at 220 Barfield Crescent Road to provide paint and painting supplies to residents of southern Murfreesboro. The independently owned and operated store carries DeVoe and Glidden paints for indoor and outdoor projects and some painting supplies.

Barfield Paint & Supply is the “new face in paint in Murfreesboro,” Danny, 31, remarked.

“It is the American dream to own your own business,” he said. “People say that but we wanted to do it.”

Danny saw a need for a paint store in the fast growing south Murfreesboro and the heavily trafficked South Church Street.

“It just seemed like a really good fit,” he said.

Danny himself was tired of driving across town to big box retailers to buy paint.

“When we would get paint, it would take us 45 minutes to get there and get back,” Rebecca, 33, said.

“We have enjoyed some modest success,” Danny said “The challenge for us is getting our name out.”
Customers, however, continue to tell the Westergards how much they appreciate them opening the store.

“I guess convenience is one of our best attributes here,” Danny said.

Despite being in their early 30s, the couple has been married 12 years and has three children Sydney, 6, Hannah, 4, and Daven, 20 months.
