PAINT SHEENS
Many of our customers have inquired as to the sheen for their walls as well as trim…
Wall sheens vary from flat which is a no luster finish to EgShel which has a slight sheen and is often the choice of families with young children as it is easier to clean but does not touch up well. Another choice might be Satin which is quite “shiny” and attractive as well and cleans well. For the trim, semi gloss and gloss are the sheens most customers select as they are both a nice addition to show case an attractive wall.

Color changes will usually require multiple coats. The trim should be re caulked at the joints as well as areas adjacent to the walls.

UPDATE IDEAS FOR YOUR INTERIOR
Interested in an interior update idea for your home? How about whitewashing your fireplace. Lighten that dark brick for a “brand new look”. This is how we do it: Protect areas surrounding the fireplace, clean the brick, mix a solution of white paint and water (one part paint to three parts water – if you want more coverage then, paint and water can be adjusted), brushing small areas at a time followed by going over that area with a clean cloth to work it in to the brick and mortar until the entire brick is covered, give the brick and mortar time to dry, and then seal in the brick with a water or oil based varnish.
This last step is important to protect your brick and hearth from accidental spills which could be absorbed. Then just stand back and enjoy your new look. ( Next you might consider painting a dark mantle white to go with your new “fireplace look”.)
Another update idea – Tired of that dated blown ceiling (popcorn ceiling) look? We can take care of that. Perhaps a smooth ceiling update is for you.
Want to get rid of that outdated wall papered look? Did you know that many well adhered wall papers can be prepped and painted over quite successfully.
How about an accent wall? A couple of ideas – a totally different colored glossy or satin wall or a bolder change such as a heavily textured accent wall…. a creative design perhaps.
