California Street

We recently completed a VERY dramatic interior paint job on California Street.

Our client was going for a jaw dropping kind of reaction and Pearl Painting delivered.  So we had a large room to paint, with lots of built ins, lots of intricate wood detail to prep and paint - and it's quite a statement.

So here are a few "before & afters" for your viewing pleasure.

You can see the beautiful crown molding we were updating, (above pic) and the condition of the "raw" wood.  Not fabulous, but not so bad really, either.

The door trim is very sleek, but has some grooves along the wood that require some attention.  Got to saturate all those little grooves so multiple coats are required.  

And below, you can see the joint compound / patching that we do on each and every project, in order to give our customers the very best result possible.
We're good like that.

  
You can see from above the very detailed woodwork we were dealing with.  The wood is truly gorgeous, very ornate and decadent, but once we got the Benjamin Moore navy on it, well trust me when I tell you it was positively glorious when finished.  

I love this picture above, it shows the progress we were making, and the contrast of the bare wood with the first coat really inspires us.  When a project entails such a drastic change, it just get's the juices flowing in us.  I think it must be a "painter thing".

Above is my colleague John.  He is our resident "nook & cranny master".
Take that any way you like.

Voila!

This beautiful bookcase became the showstopper of the room.  Benjamin Moore paint is just so ideal for interior projects, I am very much a fan of the product.  The results last.  Although, to be fair, it's the actual application as well, and if you want these kinds of results, then you need to call Pearl Painting.  I personally promise we will have our resident "nook & cranny master" give you the same detailed tender lovin' treatment.
