The Job
The walls and ceilings were worn all through the place. The kitchen had blue walls and cream cabinets. The bathroom was covered in patterned wallpaper, and one wall in the main room was old paneling.
We took down the wallpaper and painted all of it. A condo this size has one big advantage: when everything gets the same color and the same white trim, the whole place feels bigger.
What We Did
- All the walls
- All the ceilings
- All the trim
- The kitchen cabinets
- Took down the bathroom wallpaper
The Kitchen Cabinets
These cabinets were cream and showing their age. We painted them white, took the blue walls to a light neutral, then painted the ceiling and trim. A galley kitchen has nowhere to hide, so the white goes a long way.

AfterThe Blue Kitchen Walls
From the other end of the kitchen you can see how much blue was on that back wall. Going from a color like that to a light neutral is a two-coat job on our crews, which is how we handle any color change.

AfterThe Bathroom Wallpaper
Patterned wallpaper covered every wall in this bathroom. It came down first, then we painted the walls, ceiling and trim.

AfterThe Second Bathroom
No wallpaper in this one, just tired gray paint. The walls and ceiling went to the same light neutral as the rest of the condo, so the two bathrooms match.
The Main Room
Worn cream walls went to the light neutral, and the ceiling and trim got painted too. The white trim around the sliding door gives the room a clean frame.

The Old Paneling
One wall in the main room was vertical paneling in a peach tone. We painted it instead of tearing it out. The grooves still show, but now it looks like a feature wall and not a leftover.

The Bedrooms
Both bedrooms got walls, ceilings and trim in the same colors. Closet doors and baseboards are where a room looks finished or not, so the white has to be clean on all of it.
The Hall and Laundry Closet
The hall was dark and scuffed, with a stacked washer and dryer tucked into a closet at the end. Light walls and white trim brought it up a lot.
