What is a good paint job worth?

Friday, May 14th, 2010

That depends on you, your budget, what you want in, from or out of your home. Do you want it to look cheap? Do you like seeing nail pops throughout your home? Do you have cracks along the base molding where the caulk has come apart? Do you like to see every brush mark because the last time your walls were painted they used one coat of paint? Would you like you home to look just as good at the model homes you tour? Would you like feel feel the coziness of a warm color that just makes you feel at home? What else would you like from a coat of paint in your home?

What to do with plaster gone bad

Friday, March 19th, 2010

We just got a call from a customer to help with their painting and Faux finishing. When we arrived at their home we found a kitchen that had cost more that both of my cars together. It was beyond stunning. The walls however needed help. Colors were off, there was standard drywall, stucco, and some type of broken/rough plaster scattered throughout the room. In trying to save money, we painte4d everything one color and are glazing it with a 2 tone color wash to pick up the colors from the wood cabinets and the granite counter. What was thrown together is now actually appearing to have been planned!With the cabinets a wormy chestnut the rough plaster and stucco actually look very well together-I never would have though of that.

We next get to fix some foundation cracks, paint bedroom closet doors, paint a family room, paint 2 kids bedrooms, then figure out what type of murals we will paint in the rooms for the kids. Fun job, great people to work with.

A simple finish to liven up a room

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

When we get into homes that have just traditional painting, we often suggest a simple color wash in their home. With a light color on the walls, just adding single color glaze on the wall or celing will make a huge difference. It doesn’t take much, simply going one shade darker than the color on the wall or simply adding a different sheen to the walls will make your walls pop!
