The Job
The rooms had dark blue, purple and teal on the walls, and those colors made a townhome feel smaller than it is.
We took all of it to one light gray and left the oak trim stained. Gray and oak can fight if the gray is too cool, and here it sits fine next to the wood.
What We Did
- Walls throughout
- Ceilings throughout
The Purple and Blue Bedroom
Two strong colors in one room, purple on one wall and blue on the others. Both went to the light gray. Colors this dark are why we figure two coats on any color change.
Before
After
The Teal Bathroom
Dark teal walls went to the light gray. It’s a narrow room, so the color made a big difference. The bathroom feels twice as wide now and the oak vanity looks better too.
Before
After
The Living Room
Light gray on the walls and a white ceiling. The opening cut into the wall above the stairs has a lot of inside corners, and those stay sharp.
The Kitchen and Dining Walls
The oak cabinets and wood floor stayed. Paint went on all the wall space between them, and the long open room now reads as one color.
The Stairs
Stair walls are one of the hardest places to paint in a townhome, and one of the first places scuffs show up. These got the same gray from the bottom step up.
The Other Bedrooms
The rest of the bedrooms got the same gray, so the whole upstairs matches.
