The Shields Painting Difference: Perfection with Every Brush Stroke

Unlike some painting companies, our interior house painters take the time to get the details right, every time. For instance, color is only one aspect of your interior paint job.

Cabinet Painting
Citrus County cabinet painting deserves its own section on this page because it requires more time, skill, and quality paint than most sections of your home. If your home's cabinets are built into its woodwork, replacing them can be obnoxiously expensive. Compared to the cost of installing new cabinets, painting your kitchen cabinets is much more affordable.
At Shields Painting, we specialize in transforming old cabinets into new, gorgeous features that are just as usable as they are beautiful. Each step of our cabinet painting process is meticulous and thorough. And we'll take care of the entire job, from cleaning, prep, and sanding to priming, painting, and reassembly.

Whether your cabinets are new, but you want to change their color or you'd like to transition wood cabinets to a painted finish, Shields Painting has the expertise and experience to give you a new look you'll love.

Exterior Residential Painting
Your home - it's a place that not only keeps your belongings safe. It protects your family and loved ones, too. It's one of your largest investments, and like anything else of value, it should be protected. However, Florida weather can take a toll on your home's structure and paint, lowering your home's value and even putting your family at risk.
While it's true that a beautiful exterior affects your house's value, it shouldn't take thousands of remodeling dollars to make a positive change to your home. There's a fine line between reasonable pricing and top-quality painting, and that sweet spot is what Shields Painting aims for. If you want to transform how your friends and neighbors see your home, never underestimate the power of a professional paint job.
Our exterior residential painting services are designed to boost curb appeal, give your home a fresh look, and help it stand up to Florida's unique weather. But we provide more than that. When you hire Shields Painting for your outdoor painting project, you will enjoy peace of mind in knowing that your home is in truly capable hands.

A woman was caught on camera walking into a salon and stealing at least $1,500 in hair products and $8,000 in cash in broad daylight.
It happened at Color Trendz Salon off Pine Ridge Road in Collier County. The woman had no care in the world, even staring into the cameras as she stole from the salon.
This woman stole anything she could get her hands on, including the salon’s deposit bag, which the salon owner said had thousands of dollars in cash.
“The worst part is she wasn’t looking behind her. She was just stuffing, stuffing just kept stuffing, and she looked back maybe once, maybe twice,” said Amber Williams, Color Trendz Salon Manager.
“Honestly, I thought she had a lot of balls. I was shocked,” said Williams.
In the video, you can see the woman walk in and start stuffing her purse.
“Kenra is very expensive. I mean, I can start at $40 a bottle,” Williams said.
$1,500 was wiped from the shelves in minutes, but that wasn’t enough.
“When she went over to the desk, she didn’t care. She was just taking it all,” said Williams.
Literally, she took the salon’s deposit bag, the owner’s cash, and credit cards, and when her purse was too full, she had to stuff her bra.
“She’s grown. She’s an adult, and she knew exactly what she was doing. I don’t know if she’s been here before, but I mean, she knew right where to go, so that tells me she has been here before, or she has been scoping us out for a while,” said Williams.
Williams is hoping someone recognizes the grinch.
“We’re a small business. I mean, we’re not CVS, so it really puts a big damper on us here, especially around the holidays,” Williams said.
Investigators got fingerprints off a product the woman dropped and left behind but have not been able to identify her yet.
If you recognize the woman in the video, the Collier County Sheriff’s Office wants to talk with you.

State to explore Pine Ridge's parkway concerns
Michael Bateshttps://www.chronicleonline.com/news/local/state-to-explore-pine-ridges-parkway-concerns/article_1167b129-c9b2-5bb1-98d6-9c9827e4efa1.html

A Florida Turnpike official said Thursday he will take all concerns from Pine Ridge residents regarding the Suncoast Parkway extension from State Road 44 to County Road 486 back to his agency and issue a response addressing such things as reducing expected road noise and adjusting the route.
The matter came up at Thursday’s Hernando-Citrus Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) meeting, where a handful of Pine Ridge members showed up to reiterate their position previously addressed in a letter to MPO chairwoman Elizabeth Narverud.
Citrus County commissioner and MPO member Jeff Kinnard said delaying construction on the next phase of the parkway – another request from Pine Ridge – has little chance of happening.
“I understand their position (but) there is no appetite on the (county commission) board to delay the construction,” he said. “In fact, it’s just the opposite.”
County commissioners have repeatedly said they want the parkway to continue as soon as possible from its current terminus at State Road 44 all the way to U.S. 19.
County Commissioner and MPO member Ruthie Schlabach said she agrees a berm or some kind of sound-reducing structure might be helpful for Pine Ridge residents and it’s worth looking into.
Pine Ridge Association President Mike Perry, in a letter to Narverud, said his board wanted a delay to extend the parkway from State Road 44 to U.S. 19 until there is sufficient funding to construct the entire segment in one package and not piecemeal it.
He also asked that the parkway design of phase 3A between State Road 44 and County Road 486 follow the Duke Energy corridor more closely to reduce impacts to Pine Ridge.
Siaosi Fine, planning specialist with Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise, said a response from the state agency will be forthcoming.
Mark Svestka of Pine Ridge said after the meeting he would have liked more of a firm commitment from the MPO to explore their concerns but he was happy to at least get Fine’s assurance that FTE will review them.
Resident Rochelle Knowles urged the MPO not to allow the toll road to destroy the pristine beauty of the area.
“It’s now coming up to our doorstep,” she told the board. “Keep it as far away from our entrance (on C.R. 486) as possible.”
Pine Ridge resident Jim Reynold said he envisions traffic bottlenecks from motorists exiting the parkway on C.R. 486 and heading to S.R. 44.
MPO Executive Director Robert Esposito got the green light from his board to contact the Florida Department of Transportation about the Citrus County commission’s unanimous request to install a traffic light at the corner of U.S. 41 and South Airport Road.
Airport Road will be the main access into the soon-to-be-constructed industrial-business park at the Inverness Airport and commissioners believe that intersection will get congested.
Discover 7 Poisonous Frogs in Florida

In Florida, there are around 27 species of endemic frogs. Florida is known for being the state with the most invasive animals, some of which are frogs that manage to find a home within the Sunshine State. The ample wetlands, forests, rivers, and other habitats near water sources make Florida a perfect home for various frog species. This article will cover the 7 poisonous frogs in Florida that you may come across, and what you should know about them.
Are All Frogs Poisonous?
Frogs, salamanders, and other amphibians breathe through their skin and must keep their bodies moist to survive. The secretions from their bodies are toxic and may irritate an animal’s eyes or skin. Only a few amphibians in North America have strong toxicity levels. You will usually find the strongest toxicity levels among toads, and newts within America.
All toads are poisonous and have parotoid glands behind their eyes that secrete poison. A toad’s poison is not usually strong enough to cause death, but some species may be more dangerous than others. Warding off predators is the main use of a frog’s poison, and sickness may occur if ingested.
While most frogs that live in Florida are harmless, there are still some poisonous species that you should know about. Luckily only one frog species in Florida is considered deadly, but others may cause illness.
Avoiding handling frogs, in general, is best. While most worry about getting sick from a frog, they do not consider the harm we can cause to the animal. Frogs’ and other amphibians’ skin are permeable and can take in toxins from our hands and get sick. In general, humans are more dangerous to frogs. Pollution, climate change, and habitat loss are one of the main reasons amphibians are extremely at risk of depopulation and becoming endangered.
1. Cope’s Gray Treefrog (Hyla chrysoscelis)
The Cope’s gray tree frog is the only gray treefrog species that lives in Florida. This Florida native can be found in the panhandle and northern region of the state. Hardwood forests, next to breeding pools like marshes, swamps, and flooded plains are the habitats they live in.
Cope’s gray tree frogs are only mildly poisonous. Their toxins typically cause mild irritation to the skin and eyes. If ingested, this frog can make small pets like dogs sick, but death is not likely.
Cope’s gray tree frogs are around 1 to 2 inches in size and have large toes to help them grip the trees they climb. Their skin is granular, and a mottled pattern covers them to allow for better camouflage. Inside their inner thigh is bright orange or yellow coloring.
Cope’s gray tree frogs are nocturnal, and at night this poisonous frog goes out to feed on small insects and invertebrates. This frog is not protected in Florida and has a stable population. This species is active mostly from spring to fall months.
2. Oak Toad (Anaxyrus quercicus)
The oak toads’ natural range covers most of Florida, but they are absent from the lower keys region. This species lives in places with sandy soils, such as sandhills, pine-oak forests, and scrubs. They live near shallow waters like marshes, ditches, and temporary wetlands, which are used for breeding. Oak toads breed in the summer, and their calls create a “cheep cheep cheep” sound.
Like other toads, this species is poisonous, but its toxins are only mild. Their toxins help defend themselves from predators like birds, skunks, and other rodents. The hognose snake is the oak toad’s primary predator, and this snake is specialized in eating poisonous toads.
Oak toads are the smallest toads in the United States, only reaching around 1.5 inches in size. They have dark brown, to light black coloring. Their small size and the yellowish stripe that runs down their back are their most identifying traits. Oak toads are active during the day. Unless breeding, they usually spend their lives underground in loose soil.
3. Fowler’s Toad (Anaxyrus fowleri)
In Florida, Fowler’s toad is only found in the panhandle region. This toad’s range covers most of the eastern United States, stretching into southeastern Canada. It lives in wooded areas near waters like streams, ponds, and rivers. In the hot and dry periods, Fowler’s toad burrows underground, which is why it prefers habitats with sandy soils.
To defend itself from predators, the Fowler’s toad is poisonous and secretes a noxious toxin from its back. The poison on this toad puts a bad taste in the predator’s mouth and is also strong enough to kill small animals. Camouflage, and playing dead are other ways this toad attempts to defend itself from predation.
The Fowler’s toad has a size that ranges from 2 to 3.7 inches. Their coloring can be brown, gray, or olive green. Dark spots and warts appear on their back, and they have a pale dorsal stripe on them. The American toad is sometimes confused for Fowler’s toad, but this frog is not found in Florida.
4. Eastern Narrow-Mouthed Toad (Gastrophryne carolinensis)
Eastern narrow-mouthed toads are found across Florida, with their range covering much of the southeastern United States. This frog is native to the state and lives in woodlands, swamps, and moist grassland habitats. Eastern narrow-mouthed toads are terrestrial species that hide under leaf litter, or dense vegetation near water.
The name of this frog comes from its pointed mouth, and it has a small size ranging from 1 to 1.25 inches. Eastern narrow-mouthed toads have a flat appearance, with smooth skin. These frogs have brown to reddish brown coloring and are usually dark colored. They have a light band that runs down their side and are covered in a mottled pattern.
The secretions of the eastern narrow-mouthed toad are mainly used to defend themselves from animals like ants. This frog feeds a lot on ants and hangs around their anthills. Termites, beetles, and other invertebrates that fit into their small mouth are also what this species eats.
5. Southern Toad (Anaxyrus terrestris)
The southern toads have a range within the southeastern United States, and this species is found all over Florida. Southern toads are absent from the upper Keys region in the state and are a native species. They are nocturnal and burrow themselves in sandy soil and debris. Southern toads migrate to waters during the breeding season, triggered by heavy spring rains.
Southern toads are a poisonous species and are sometimes confused with the invasive cane toad. These frogs are medium-sized, ranging from 1.5 to 3 inches. They have reddish brown, gray, or tan coloring, with blotches covering them. Warts cover their body. Southern toads have a large cranial ridge that ends in bulbous knobs, which can help distinguish them from the invasive cane toad.
When in danger, southern toads will increase their size, and expose their parotoid glands to predators trying to eat them. Their toxin is foul in taste, and even their eggs can be poisonous. They are a common species in Florida and have a stable population.
6. Eastern Spadefoot Toad (Scaphiopus holbrookii)
Spadefoot toads are found in most of Florida but are absent from the south-central and middle Keys region. This species spends most of its life underground and lives in environments with sandy soils. Spadefoot toads live in places like agricultural, and urban areas. They breed in shallow and temporary pools, coming out in times of heavy rain. Spadefoot toads lay their eggs attached to vegetation, and their breeding call is long and low-pitched.
Like other toads, this frog secretes a noxious toxin from its skin used to defend itself from predators. While this mild toxin is not deadly, it can make pets drool, sneeze, and leave a bad taste in their mouth. Eastern spadefoot toads are active both day and night, spending their time foraging for small insects, and invertebrates. They are rarely seen, mostly coming out during heavy rain. Some spadefoot toads have been known to stay underground for as long as a decade, waiting for the right conditions.
Spadefoot toads get their name from the spur on their back feet that they use for burrowing. They have a size ranging from 1.7 to 2.2 inches and have round plump bodies. Eastern spadefoot toads are brown and have yellow stripes on their back. Their eyes are very large and bulbous.
7. Cane Toad (Rhinella marina)
In Florida, the cane toad is an invasive frog that was first introduced in the 1930s. This frog was introduced to reduce pests in agricultural areas. Current populations are the result of them being released into the wild by importers. Cane toads are more poisonous than any other toad in the state. The bufotoxin they secrete is very powerful and strong enough to kill small animals, even humans.
Cane toads are a risk to Florida since they have the potential to out-compete endemic frogs, and kill the local animals. The cane toad, also called the marine toad, is the largest toad in the world. Adults have an average length between 4 to 6 inches and can weigh up to 4.4 lbs. Brown, grayish brown, olive, or reddish brown are the colors of this species. They have cream spots on their back and a cream belly. Their bodies are very granular and covered in many warts.
The size of the cane toad and the poison that secretes from them make them keystone animals in any environment they are found. This species is native to South and Central America, and Florida lacks the predators that help control this frog’s population.
Cane toads are poisonous in every stage of their life, from egg to adult. They are one of the many invasive species in Florida that can unbalance the precious ecosystem in the state. Be wary of this large poisonous frog.
The Sunshine State is one of the most biodiverse states in America. Check out these other articles highlighting the amazing wilderness and animals found in Florida:
Spiders, snakes, and lizards are my favorite types of animals, and I enjoy keeping some species as pets. I love learning about the various wonders nature has to offer and have been a writer for 5 years. In my spare time, you can find me getting out into nature.

Total Wine significantly expanding with North Naples move

Total Wine & More is making a move this fall that will expand its North Naples retail space by more than 150%. After operating for 15 years in Carillon Place on the southeast corner of Airport-Pulling and Pine Ridge roads, the liquor superstore chain with a wine focus is packing up and relocating to the former Lucky’s Market space less than a mile north on the southwest corner of Airport-Pulling and Naples Boulevard.Lucky’s Market operated there for less than a year before the company declared bankruptcy and shuttered ...
Total Wine & More is making a move this fall that will expand its North Naples retail space by more than 150%. After operating for 15 years in Carillon Place on the southeast corner of Airport-Pulling and Pine Ridge roads, the liquor superstore chain with a wine focus is packing up and relocating to the former Lucky’s Market space less than a mile north on the southwest corner of Airport-Pulling and Naples Boulevard.
Lucky’s Market operated there for less than a year before the company declared bankruptcy and shuttered most of its locations in early 2020. That same Promenade at Naples Centre address, 6424 Naples Blvd., Ste. 601, previously was Wild Oats Market from 2007 to 2008 before sitting vacant for more than a decade.
At 29,349 square feet, the former grocery store is significantly larger than Total Wine’s 19,000-square-foot North Naples store the chain opened in 2007. The existing store is smaller than Total Wine’s average space while the new location will be a bit on the larger side for its stores, which can be between 20,000 and 35,000 square feet, said Edward Cooper, the company’s vice president of public affairs and community relations.
“That allows us to increase space for a greater selection. It enables us to have greater variety,” said Cooper, noting that the retailer’s beverage baseline boasts more than 8,000 wines, 4,500 distilled spirits and nearly 3,000 different beers. “The customer experience will be different in this store the way that it’s set up. That will add greater convenience for the customer.”
The upgraded store will have a wine education center, a distilled spirits section and a brewery district tasting station for beers. “We have opportunities for us in the new store to have the next generation of tasting stations,” Cooper said. “There’s a classroom in that store that has the latest and greatest high tech so we could host consumer classes in there and team-member training and other consumer events such as a virtual tasting.”
Expect tasting events hosted by local brewers, too. “We are really good at being local in the location that we serve,” Cooper said. “Naples is well known for wine, and we know that we are in a pretty good craft beer environment with burgeoning spirits in that area.”
A privately held company owned by two brothers and their families, Maryland-based Total Wine & More prides itself on its selection, customer service and price. “We strive to be the price leader in every market we’re in and Naples is no different,” Cooper said.
The store’s 50 to 75 staff members, 75% of whom are full-time employees, are highly trained and knowledgeable, Cooper said. “We want them to have an opportunity to have a career with us. We invest heavily in our team members. They are the lifeblood of our business,” he said. “The education that we provide to our team members hopefully will help you decide what you’re looking for in wine, spirits, or beer. If you already know, they’ll lead you right to it.”
Total Wine launched last October in another regional retail space that had been planned for Lucky’s Market in Port Charlotte. The North Naples store is targeted to relocate near the beginning of November.
“We’re excited about relocating. We are excited about the store,” Cooper said. “We continue to expand. The brand continues to expand.”
