The owners of this house painted it themselves over 10 years ago shortly after they moved in. Not only did their taste in color change, but the paint on the wood work was peeling almost everywhere. They needed some professional help this time, so they brought us in to do the dirty work.
Their kitchen did not have much wall space, because of the many large windows, an exposed brick wall, and a built-in hutch. We painted it all (except the bricks and windows).
It may have been difficult to see what we did in those photos, but we were in the kitchen for 3 days. They had a pantry area and a 1/2 bathroom outside of the kitchen. They chose Amalfi in a semi-gloss paint for the bathroom and Bunny Gray in a matte finish for the pantry area.
We had quite a bit of work to do in the dining room. All of the trim work was weathered and peeling, especially in the skylight area.
We fixed all of the cracks and peeling paint. Then we painted the top half of the walls with Morning Lake in a matte finish. All of the trim and the lower half of the wall was painted with Pure White in a semi-gloss finish.
The trim in the living room was also a mess. So, we fixed that and lightened up the room with Cloud White in a matte finish.
We only painted one bedroom in the house. The light in there was awful, so the trim looks yellow. I assure you it is the same Pure White as the rest of the house. The reflection from the Watermelon Red didn’t help the image capture from my old iPhone.
I am always pleased when we make such a stark transformation in someone’s house. The homeowner was impressed with our work, and so was I.
