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 in 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 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?

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 painted 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.

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 ceiling 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!

One of the most common things we are asked to do before we paint is to strip wallpaper. Stripping wallpaper is not the funnest task in the world. It is messy, time-consuming and depending on the type of wallpaper-it is a pain in the butt! There are so many types of wallpaper and products to use to strip it from your walls, we thought we would save you some money. If you have to remove it yourself, peel off the top layer first. You can now go back with a sponge and HOT water to remove the backing. Finally with a scraper, sponge and hot water you need to wash and scrape all of the glue from the wall. Once it is dry you can prime the wall (don’t use the cheap stuff). We wear rubber gloves because it is a sticky, gooey, slimy job.

Now that you are ready to paint, what will you do? Traditional painting? Faux finishes? We duplicate the feel of different wallpaper designs by our faux finishes. Using different textures, mediums, stencils, plasters, and glazes we can make a custom design that is all yours. There won’t be any single job out there like it.
