Before and After: A Light, Fresh Interior Repaint

Interior painting is one of my favorite jobs to do, because I can make such a difference in a room in a relatively short time.

I recently finished a whole-house interior repaint in a beautiful Craftsman-style home that had a dated brown wall color all throughout the house:

My customers chose a lighter color with more gray in it, and it gave the living room an airy and open feeling. (By the way, you may recognize the built-in entertainment center if you follow my other blog at Artisan Built-ins. I installed it last month.)

Moving upstairs, the kids' playroom was a dull mossy green that made the space feel dark. Check out that before and after! That's not my camera playing tricks on you, as you can see if you compare the tone of the carpet in the two pictures.

The new wall color reflects the light a lot better, which is helpful in a room like this with so little natural daylight.

But I think the biggest change was in the master bathroom. The dreary brown did nothing to flatter the tile.

What a difference a lighter tone makes! It ties in with the pretty marble sinks and bounces light all around the room.

​I also installed new medicine cabinets with cherrywood frames that make a nice statement against the pale gray. Now the room looks like a spa retreat where you can escape from the world.

If your home has dingy or dated wall colors and you're ready for a change, give us a call to lighten up. We'll be glad to help you, because we love this stuff!
