Painting problems solved!

In addition to our design and space planning services, these homeowners enlisted the help of talented designer Connie DeGood. Among other things, Connie helped choose paint colors and finishes throughout the house. Here you can see the painters hard at work and if you look back a few days you can see the difference in how the room is coming together.


There is no doubt that matte finish paint is probably the loveliest and most elegant wall finish. However, as the contractors found out the hard way on this job, paints with no sheen will tend to show every blemish in the wall. Once the new wall areas were completely finished in this renovation, all new and existing walls were painted. Again, due to the diligence of Ray who is William Stone Contracting's foreman on this job, many walls both new and existing were completely re-mudded, sanded and repainted. Obviously a lot of extra work, but the end product will be well worth it.

In the formal dining room, the traditional wainscoating and deep crown moulding that were added will go miles in adding character and warmth to the room.
