Project Description
The homeowners reached out to Queen City Painting and Decorating to refresh the interior of their home. They wanted to enhance their living room, stairwell, and entryway with a modern and inviting color scheme that would create a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere.
The interior painting project was a special one, as the homeowners chose our team based on family connections, outstanding reviews, and their desire to support a family-owned business. With their trust in our expertise, we ensured every detail of this interior transformation was handled with precision and care.

Process:
Step 1: Preparation and Setup:
Before starting the painting process, we took the necessary steps to protect the home’s furnishings and flooring:
- Moved and covered furniture to prevent any paint splatter.
- Laid down drop cloths and painter’s tape to ensure clean, sharp edges.
- Inspected walls for minor imperfections and filled in small holes or cracks.
Step 2: Priming and Base Coats:
Since the previous paint had faded over time, our team focused on creating a smooth and even base for the new colors.
- Applied a light sanding and spot priming where needed to enhance adhesion.
- Used high-quality Sherwin Williams Duration Satin Sheen paint for an elegant and easy-to-clean finish.
- Began with the main living room and stairwell using Kilim Beige (HGSW6106).

The homeowners wanted a bold yet classic statement wall in the entryway. To achieve this:
- We applied Retro Colonial Blue (4006-4B) to create a visually striking entrance.
- Used precision edging techniques to ensure crisp lines between colors.
- Allowed the color to fully cure before moving on to the final walkthrough.
Step 4: Touch-Ups and Final Inspection:
To guarantee a flawless finish, we conducted a detailed inspection of the entire project:
- Checked for any uneven areas and performed final touch-ups.
- Removed all painter’s tape carefully for clean, professional lines.
- Cleaned up the workspace, leaving the home spotless and ready for enjoyment.
