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).

Step 3: Entryway Accent Wall:

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.
