Interior Before and After Pictures…

Monday, November 14th, 2011 | Uncategorized | 1 Comment

Here are two interior projects we recently completed.  The before and after pictures show the difference that preparation and new colors but also wallpaper and moulding installations can make.

The first project was a living room and adjacent dining room.  A pastel yellow color was changed to a more modern, grey-based blue/green color.  The new color goes great with everything and really works with the existing historic wood trim.  We took a 25% ratio of the wall color and put that on the ceiling.  This allowed for the new crown moulding we installed (4 times the size of the previous moulding) to pop.  If we would have used a standard white on the ceiling the crown might have disappeared.

BEFORE: Pastel and thin crown moulding

AFTER: Modern colors and more substantial crown

The second project was another living room and adjacent dining room.  Plain white walls and ceilings were painted bright, energetic colors.  Pastel blue trim was painted a sharp stark white.  A bold wallpaper pattern was used as an accent on a fireplace wall.  In the dining room a chair rail was installed allowing for two different colors (below and above) to be used.

There was substantial preparation needed on damaged plaster areas on peeling trim areas.  Definitely a transformation!

BEFORE: a fire mantle/bookshelf wall waiting for change

BEFORE: Plain white walls and powder blue trim

AFTER: Energetic colors and wallpaper accents

AFTER: New chair rail/color scheme in dining room

AFTER: An area of the house looks completely new!

This is Andy Grason with Stirling Painting and Revovations and I am happy to unveil the official Stirling Painting Blog.

Anyway, I am going to use this new technological medium to keep in contact with you on a more consistent basis. I will use the weekly posting to keep you all informed about important company info like:

• Special deals (10% June through August)
• Team members’ news (Lisa got an evil kitten)
  Calendar updates (exterior schedule is really filling up)

But also about things that have sparked my interest such as:

• Favorite restaurants (Paolo’s Italian Restaurant in Northampton)
• Can’t miss movies (go see "There Will Be Blood" if you want to be depressed and sad for at least a week),
• books (anything by Dave Eggers – except "They Shall Know Our Velocity") and music (listen to Bon Iver)

Or anything else I feel like writing about.

Talk to you all soon,

Andy
