The original painting was not done well in some areas of this home. It’s only had one paint job and some of the walls felt rough so our guess is that the sanding was not adequately done after the drywall was primed. In addition the paint was applied far too heavy in the tall entry and hallway, perhaps in an attempt to do only one coat. This left excessive texture, rolling irregularities and paint sagging. We spent hours sanding down the walls to smooth them out before re-painting.

The large open concept living space was originally painted taupe with several darker green accent walls. The clients had us re-paint with Balboa Mist. It’s one of Benjamin Moore’s go-to neutrals and considered a pale greige. Greige colours have been a popular choice over the last few years as homeowners have wanted to transition out of the gray trend and into something more timeless and warm. Balboa Mist amplifies the light well in this large open space giving it a light and airy feeling.

This owner was ready for a colour change and wanted to lighten up the walls of the main floor of their home. They chose the colour Fossil from Benjamin Moore. It could be considered a warm off-white or a very light beige. The new colour works well with their living room furniture and the rooms look so much brighter and spacious.

This is the second time we’ve had the pleasure of painting for these clients. They moved to this charming little strata home and made prior arrangements to have us start painting on the day after their possession date. Most of their furniture and belongings, other than essentials were stored in the garage until we were done. This made the painting process more efficient, especially while we were painting all of the ceilings. The walls were done in a greige colour and a warm white was used for the trim work and doors. It’s ready to settle into and decorate.

We were pleased to paint for these clients again after doing their full exterior the previous year. They were ready to make a change from the cooler gray tones that the interior walls were originally painted.

They chose a creamy beige colour for the main living spaces. The master bedroom was painted in an comforting shade of coral and the child’s room on the main level was done in a rich, mossy green. To compliment the warmth of the colours all of the trim work and doors were done in a creamy white. The new colours have made the house look very inviting.

These bedrooms were ready for a makeover. One of them had a border to remove along the ceiling line and the walls of both rooms needed a fair amount of patching and sanding. The client had us re-paint in a warm cream colour called White Down from Benjamin Moore. What a difference it made in the brightness and feel of the rooms.

A repaint can have a big impact without doing a dramatic colour change. These clients were ready to move on from their gold coloured walls. They wanted a colour that looked updated, but not so different that it would require a complete décor change. Their main concerns were choosing a colour that worked well with the slate flooring and the kitchen cabinets. They were not fond of the flooring, but it would be too costly to replace. The good thing is the floor has many colours in it to pull from. As long as the new wall colour was in the right tone it would work.

They chose Bennington Gray, one of the timeless colours from the Benjamin Moore historic collection. It’s not what most people would consider gray. The best way to describe it would be a warm neutral with a subtle golden/green undertone. The first picture below is the original gold walls. There’s nothing wrong with them, but could be considered somewhat dated and they are fairly dark.

In this next photo we have re-painted the walls in Bennington Gray. It give the space an updated look and it’s a bit lighter and brighter. It works well with the kitchen cabinets, the fireplace and the existing trim work colour.

The new owner of this townhouse wanted a warmer colour on the walls. The existing blue/gray was cold feeling in comparison to the floors and other warm wood tones in the home. They hired us to re-paint the main living space, entry, stairwell and upper landing with a warm gray/green colour.

Through referrals we’ve painted several patio homes in this complex. These clients were ready for a change from the yellow and dark gold accent walls.

We painted the walls throughout the main living area, kitchen, guest bedroom and laundry room. They recently installed new gray carpet so they picked a light gray for the walls and went with a warm white for the trim work and doors.
