Townehouse Interior Painting

Tis the season for interior paintwork!

Completed a grand interior job last month as the temperature outside started to get chilly. Ben and Lauren had the major portion of a three story townhouse in need of a fresh coat of paint. Included in this one was all the ceilings, trim  and doors.

Not so bad? The trim went on and on for miles, there were 21 doors, 19 windows, a fireplace and 72 spindles in their railing.

Then the fun stuff, borders in the kids rooms! Natalie received some fairy dust and swooshes in her room with a Tinkeresque fairy leaving the swooshing behind.

Sorry the photos aren't that great.

The new babies room received a generous portion of butterflies and curls.

To start, the ceilings were painted and then the wall work began.

The patching was mostly done by the homeowner. We had a few spots to touch up but nothing major was needed.

The entry, main living area and family room were painted with Benjamin Moore Coastal Fog

The top floor hosted a plethora of doorways. For painting, the doors were taken down and all the hardware on them and the door frames were removed.

Then carefully carry them down the stairs, apply paint and tote back up once finished. Everything seems difficult at the outset, but the satisfaction of a completed project is joyous!

The handrails and base remained a stain while the spindles were painted white. Here you can see the three to the right are ivory and the left three have had their coats brightened with the white.

And these spindles too have been freshened up.

Yes they keep going!

The stairway and the upstairs hallway were painted with Benjamin Moore Fog Mist. This is a lighter compliment to the Coastal Fog used on the main floor. This was done due to less daylight being in these areas.

The new baby's room was prepped and covered with Benjamin Moore Smoke Embers

Happy place.

Natalie, the big sister, was treated to the fairy dust and grand spirals left behind by passing fairies.

Needless to say, she was very excited.

Townehouse interior painting - challenges
Today's open floor plans can leave several challenges like multi-level ceilings, large uninterrupted wall spaces and trim in high places.

Enjoy!
